Please make sure that you are installing the game in any location other than the default EA App library, which is C:\Program Files\EA Games
For example, install it in C:\EA Games or any other locations that you like.
i did it, but I still can’t download Mirror’s Edge
It seems that everyone can't download it in the EA APP
I have the same problem - I have put in 7 cases now with EA Customer Support and with the exception of the last one they are being closed without contact. I'm not sure if they are emailing me and I'm just not getting the emails.
This issue is currently VERY exacerbated by the current "latest" version of Origin just making us move to EA App and not allowing us to use it. To overcome this I found a guide online to install Origin and then edit its INI files so it cannot try to update and thus force the EA App on me. This method is ONLY going to work while Origin is still providing service which I believe is NOT going to be forever.
In any case - for those having this issue. Install an older version of Origin (google for the "full client"), find a guide and edit the INI file so it cannot update... then download and install Mirror's Edge and the Time Trials if you own them. Then once the game is working you can either unhack or just stop using Origin and start using the EA App and things will work fine. (they are for me)
If I ever uninstall this for any reason, I'm likely going to have issues. I've since taken a personal backup of my folder in case I need it or can use it to get around this issue in the future.
HOWEVER... at least as of now there is no way to install Mirror's Edge via the EA App. Its broken and EA Customer support either cannot help or cannot seem to communicate with me to resolve this issue. Its highly frustrating and upsetting as the Mirror's Edge franchise is one of my favorites.
For those who are not concerned with the Time Trials - you can buy Mirror's Edge on GoG and it won't use EA App or Origin and will just work... BUT - you cannot play the Pure Time Trials without a mod from Nexus Mods and some janky hack tool that doesn't work reliably.
It would be good if EA can just recognize this is a problem and give us an ETA on a fix for it. Attached is the error I was getting for reference but I've since solved this issue myself - though I fear its only a temporary solution.
I just download from EA app , but you need create a Mirrorsedge.exe archive and make the folders Origin Games/Mirrors Edge/binaries/ and put it in there and trigger a repair
after you copy the archive ,When you load EA the game after some seconds will look like installed but not working, Just make a repair and it will download
*to the create the archive MirrorsEdge.exe just rename a name.txt to MirrorsEdge.exe (thanks to Smike713 that say me u can create the fake archive and no need to use an original like a did first)
