Version Differences
Steam
Steam does not have a CD key tied to the game, which means that you can not extract the CD key to activate it through Origin.
EA Origin/Retail
Can be played stand alone without Origin although you can register the game using the CD key to add it to your Origin account. DRM is in the form of a CD key found in the game's packaging if purchased via retail.
Pure Time Trials Map Pack
This map pack is available only on Origin (EA Download Manager). Installing the DLC using a Steam installation of the game will not work.
Compatibility
Configuration
Files
There are two config files under the "My Documents" folder, at EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config
, TdEngine.ini
and TdInput.ini
.
Registry
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA GAMES\Mirror's Edge
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA Games\Mirror's Edge
Issues and Fixes
Screen Tearing
- Make sure you're not forcing vsync off in your driver settings
- Check the Engine config file
- adjust "smoothedframerate" to 0 & 60
- make sure vsync=true
Massive Framerate Drops
- AMD: Disable PhysX in the options menu.
- Nvidia: Update to the latest drivers released from nvidia.com
Language
- Steam supports language selection
- Others: change the
Locale
registry key toen
,de
,fr
etc.- (This may not work with all versions, confirmed with German retail)
No Sound During Cutscenes/FMVs in Windows 7
- Download Creative ALchemy Universal (doesn't require Creative sound cards).
- Install and run ALchemy.
- If the game is not listed under "Installed Games", click "Add".
- Add "Mirror's Edge" to the "Game Title" box.
- Check the "Use Game Path" box/bubble and type the location of the "mirrorsedge.exe" file e.g.
C:\Program Files\Mirror's Edge\
. Steam version would be listed underSteam\steamapps\common\mirrors edge\
- Check the "Install into Sub Folder" box and type in "Binaries".
- Check the "Install into both Root and Sub Folder" box.
- Leave the other values at their default and click "OK", the profile should be created.
- If Mirror's Edge is in the "Installed Games" list, click on Mirror's Edge and click on the ">>" button. It should now be listed under the "ALchemy-enabled Games".
- Close ALchemy and enjoy Mirror's Edge with sound in cutscenes!
NOTE: In some cases, this fix does restore the sound but makes the sounds of the videos go in a faster speed making the sounds higher pitched than usual.
Tweaks
Intro Skip
To skip the intro videos, edit the Engine config file and comment out this line:
StartupMovies=StartupMovie
Like so:
;StartupMovies=StartupMovie
Crosshair Toggle
To bind the F11 key to toggle the crosshair, edit the Input config file, and under:
[Engine.PlayerInput]
Add:
Bindings=(Name="F11",Command="Showhud",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Third Party Content
Custom Maps
Shorty after the game's release, a member of the on-mirror's edge forum found a way to open up the game's unreal editor, allowing for custom maps. Follow the directions provided on this link for more information.
