- Create a new file named user.cfg.
- Open the file with your text editor of choice.
- Write code "PostProcess.ForceDofEnable 0" to disable depth of field.
- Save your changes.
Instructions[5]
|
- Go to <path-to-game>.
- Create a new file named
user.cfg .
- Open the file with your text editor of choice.
- Write
Render.ForceFov # where # is your prefered fov.
- Save your changes.
|
- On higher end machines it's possible to use resolution scaling for downsampling up to two times the dimensions of selected resolution. Post processing antialiasing is applied before downsampling is done.
- Antialiasing is controlled by overall quality presets, and post-processing antialiasing is applied with every preset excluding
Low
.
Disable antialiasing on custom preset[citation needed]
|
- Set in game preset to
Custom .
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
PROF_SAVE_profile with preferred text editor.
- Change
GstRender.AntiAliasingDeferred and GstRender.AntiAliasingPost to 0 .
- Start the game.
Notes
-
GstRender.AntiAliasingDeferred does not seem to have any effect.
- If the game crashes after this change, change the reflection details to low with (
GstRender.ReflectionQuality 0 ).[6]
- Because of the game's visual direction having massive amount of high contrast edges and constantly moving camera, disabling antialiasing produces massive amount of aliasing and shimmering, and since the screen space reflections rely on temporal accumulation, disabling TAA will cause visual bugs. If using resolution scaling is too demanding, applying some other form of antialiasing externally, e.g. SMAA using ReShade is highly recommended.
- If disabling TAA is not a viable option, using a sharpening filter like AMD's Radeon Image Sharpening or Nvidia's Freestyle Sharpen is recommended, since it helps reduce the TAA blur, especially at higher resolutions.

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
- Make sure your machine is within requirements before doing this as especially low amount of VRAM may introduce other problems including stuttering.
- In-game post-processing antialiasing also blurs visuals. See Anti-aliasing (AA).
|
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 VSYNC 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 directory folder (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Mirrors Edge Catalyst\settings\) in your Antivirus. If use before MELink method , exclude the MELink folder too. Open the game and check it.
|
Turn off Fullscreen Optimizations (Windows 10 only)
|
- Right click on either the shortcut to the game, or on the exe file itself. (MirrorsEdgeCatalyst.exe)
- Select 'Properties', then select the 'Compatibility' tab.
- Check the box 'Disable fullscreen optimizations'.
|
Enable GPU memory restriction in graphics settings.
|
Set Origin to offline mode[9]
|
Change refresh rate[citation needed]
|
- Set your monitors refresh rate at 60hz.[citation needed]
- Set in-game fullscreen option to
windowed .
- Try setting GameTime.MaxVariableFPS to 60 or 30
|
Move save files to SSD[10]
|
If your 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 your save files to the SSD or create a symbolic link as described here.
|
Disable HAGS[citation needed]
|
- Open Windows Settings
- Use the searchbox to look for "graphic settings"
- Toggle Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling Off.
- Restart your PC.
|
Set process priority to High[11]
|
To automate this, put the following commands into a batch file (.bat extension) in the game's directory and 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"
|
Add exclusion for save-file directory to antivirus software.
|
Black screen on launch
Disable the Teamviewer QuickConnect plugin[citation needed]
|
- Open Teamviewer, select "Extra" then "Options". Go to the "Advanced" tab and select "Show advanced options.
- Under "Advanced settings for Computers and Contacts" click "Configure" and untick "Show QuickConnect button".
Notes
- This can also be done by opening an explorer window, clicking on the QuickConnect icon, and selecting disable in the bottom right corner.

Hair bug on reflective elevator surfaces
- When in an elevator, if there is a reflective surface, you will see Faith's hair glitch up or down, depending on which direction you're heading.
Cap the FrameRate to 30fps[12]
