Well, no game seems to come out all ready to play these days. Something has to be done to get it working always. The latest game Mirror’s Edge is no exception. The game seems to lock up after playing for a couple of minutes, usually 5-10 mins. This happens to people with the new nVidia 8000+ cards / all cards which are Physx capable show this symptom. The problem is because Mirror’s Edge’s handing of Physx is like a baby handing a sniper rifle.  A lot of people contacted me for a possible fix. Well, there is good news.

The fix is the new patch (Mirrors Edge v1.01) that EA released a couple of days ago which deals with the lockup issue. Download it here. Install and play. If it still locks up, disable Physx and then restart.

Since my exams finished, I thought of completing NFSCarbon for good, in the process this happened. :)

Geek Kyle: Is anyone else having problems concentrating on this? I just can’t seem to concentrate.
Cartman: Maybe we should send you to a concentration camp.

Ah yes! The blog, I forgot, age2_x1.exe and Gamespy have that effect on people. BSNL rocks and so does Iron Maiden. They released their new album “A Matter of Life and Death”. Although all songs are easy listening type when compared to either the X Factor or Virtual XI, I rate the new album 8/10. No complex music, it is simple and just rocks.

• “Different World” (music: Adrian Smith/Steve Harris, lyrics: Steve Harris) – 4:17
