Mirror's Edge: Problem after the cinematic with Jacknife

(This is a C/P of my post on Jv.com, with no replies, so I'm asking experts like you! because you rock!)


"Hey guys!

So, my dad bought Mirror's Edge in a supermarket (used) and we've already run into a few big problems with the game.. To start, everything was fine at the beginning, we were told we needed to download a patch from EA's site, which we did, the game went fine until chapter 2 where it started to act up a bit... first of all, in the part where the S.W.A.T team enters the green room by breaking the windows, the game started bugging out horribly... I did my best to help my dad by managing to get past the level despite the bugs, we ended up finding a way by disabling PhysicsX.. so, we THOUGHT it was over and done with, but a new problem comes up: When the guy in the blue and black jacket jumps where the pole is (and falls flat on his face by the way), I do the whole path you need to do up to the cutscene, where we find the guy again, he talks to us, etc etc... but in the end.. as soon as the cutscene ends, the game shows us a short loading screen and ... surprise! we end up back on the game's save selection menu, and the game hasn't saved any extra chapter, we're stuck at the last spot we were at (where there's the elevator and she says "Damn it!") anyway... Would you have a solution? I heard that downloaded Mirror's Edge copies suffer from these problems, whereas the one my dad bought turned out to be perfectly legit, there's even an orange "EA" band I don't know what on the box, is this a counterfeit? thanks in advance if you have a legal solution. ;3 "

First of all if physx is disabled that's good, because on this game it causes a lot of problems.

What's your graphics card?? because the 9600m gt gives up right away.
Now to work around certain bugs or lag in the game there's this method: Press tab a lot of times (which opens the objectives screen). Staying in-game for the shortest time possible (having the objectives screen show for longer than your actual playtime). This let me reach the save point (visible bottom left, a kind of circle). And... although sent back to the menu screen again, by pressing continue, then, surprise! I finally get to continue the adventure.

try setting aside (copying) your saves, uninstalling the game, reinstalling it without doing the update then getting your save back.

About the TAB trick... it's impossible, because the "TAB" key skips the cutscene, resulting in it only speeding up the time before being sent back to the main menu... besides, "Continue" isn't shown.

Next, regarding the Gamefix patch, I tried it, neither of the two work (even swapping the names of the original launcher and the downloaded 58MB one), it shows me the Mirror's Edge loading screen, then I get a lovely "Mirror's Edge has stopped working"...

As for the save, my dad is on Seven, so we don't know where it's located for reinstalling... :/

I tried uninstalling reinstalling... it changed nothing, I even tried the TAB method, doesn't work either... and when I try to install the Crackfix in the "Binaries" folder, it shows me the game's opening image, then it does "Mirror's Edge.exe has stopped working"...
