Issues fixed
Blurry visuals and textures
- By default, if the game tries to utilize more VRAM than is available, it will automatically decrease the quality of game assets, including textures and shadows.
Disable GPU memory restriction in graphics settings[citation needed]
|
---|
Notes
|
Uneven camera motion with mouse input
- Mouse input generates uneven camera motion at framerates indivisible by 30.
Use an external tool such as RTSS to cap framerate to 30, 60, 90, 120, etc., or use V-sync at a matching refresh rate. |
---|
Stuttering
- These fixes resolves stuttering at regular intervals, from the auto-saving, and/or moving in the world.
Exclude the save game data location in the antivirus used on the computer. |
---|
Turn off fullscreen optimizations in compatibility settings for MirrorsEdgeCatalyst.exe
|
---|
Enable GPU memory restriction in graphics settings.
|
---|
Set Origin to offline mode[9] |
---|
Change refresh rate[citation needed] |
---|
|
Move save files to SSD[10] |
---|
If the game is on a SSD but the save files are present on a HDD, it will cause stuttering and CPU/GPU spikes every 5 seconds or so. Move the save files to the SSD or create a symbolic link as described here. |
Disable HAGS[citation needed] |
---|
|
Set process priority to High[11] |
---|
To automate this, put the following commands into a batch file (.bat extension) in the game's directory, then use the .bat file to launch the game (The batch file has to be ran as admin): MirrorsEdgeCatalyst.exe timeout 60 wmic process where name="MirrorsEdgeCatalyst.exe" CALL setpriority "high priority" |
Black screen on launch
Disable the TeamViewer QuickConnect plugin[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Hair bug on reflective elevator surfaces
- When in an elevator, if there is a reflective surface, Faith's hair will glitch up or down, depending on which direction she is heading.
Cap the framerate to 30 FPS[12] |
