Mirror's Edge is a sci-fi first-person action game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts.

The game makes use of Unreal Engine 3, as DICE's own Frostbite engine wasn't complete when the title began full-scale production. A lighting system christened "Beast" was developed for the game by Illuminate Labs in association with DICE which was previously called "Turtle" and was used in Maya as a renderer.^[2] The new technology would accentuate the art style of the game by allowing for the reflection of colors as well as light. The title takes advantage of many of Unreal Engine 3's features, such as Nvidia's PhysX physics simulation system, allowing for optional physics effects like detailed debris and cloth, emulating dynamic and unscripted physics.

The PC version of Mirror's Edge was released on January 13, 2009.^[1] The Origin release of the game featured extra DRM, including online activation and a limit to how many computers the game could be activated on, alongside needing to install the launcher to begin with. De-authorization tools have been made officially available.

On January 19, 2023 online services for Mirror's Edge were shut down, rendering leaderboards and all other social features inaccessible.^[3]

Essential improvements

Patches

Patch 1.01. The Origin and Steam versions are already patched.

Origin Fix

This patch fixes Origin version of Mirror's Edge. Patch affects game's main executable, as well as cleans game directory from useless SecuROM/Origin files and folders and fixes PhysX issues.

Can possibly make Pure Time Trial Map Pack Restoration Mod compatible with this version.

Installation
Download files from the link above. Extract the `Binaries` folder and `Fix.bat` into `<path-to-game>`. Run `Fix.bat` and wait until the necessary changes are made.

Mirror's Edge Tweaks

An all-in-one tool for tweaking and fixing various aspects about the game. Changes are persistent once set and the program does not need to be kept open.

Changes the FOV of Mirror's Edge the correct way and provides additional FOV fixes, without skybox issues.

Offers individually adjustable graphical tweaks not normally accessible in-game, such as various post-process effects, lightmaps, render resolution, and more.

Numerous other utilities and QoL features.

Improve text and UI rendering at higher resolutions

When using resolutions with a horizontal pixel count greater than 1920, text appears blurry and low-quality.

Use Mirror's Edge Tweaks
Download Mirror's Edge Tweaks and open it. Under the "Graphics Tweaks" section, locate `Resolution` and select your desired resolution. Select Yes when prompted to fix UI and blurry text.

Partial fix; some text elements such as subtitles, lists, timer HUD and loading screen text will appear smaller as you increase the resolution.

Skip intro videos

Use the `-nostartupmovies` command line argument

Make file changes
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `TdEngine.ini`. Delete/comment out (add a `;` to the beginning of) the `StartupMovies` line.

Use Mirror's Edge Tweaks
Download Mirror's Edge Tweaks and open it. Under the "Other Tweaks" section, locate `Intro video` and disable it.

Remove "Press any key" delay

You can further speed up the time to enter the game by removing the 4 second wait period before the "Press any key" message appears.

Use Mirror's Edge Tweaks
Download Mirror's Edge Tweaks and open it. Apply the `Allow config mods` patch under the "Game Tweaks" section to allow the game to launch with modified configs. Under the "Other Tweaks" section, locate `Main menu delay` and disable it.

Improve performance with PhysX

See PhysX causes issues for a summary

Shard Roof Draw Distance Fix

This mod fixes draw distance issues that occur in the game's final cutscene.^[6]

Installation
Download files from the link above. Extract the `TdGame` folder into `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge`.

Some settings can be also edited in the INI files stored in <path-to-game>\TdGame\Config, but the game will fail to launch when modifying these files. This can be bypassed with Mirror's Edge Tweaks by applying the Allow config mods patch. MEMLA is another alternative, but is less stable due to its memory-based injection (it also doesn't work on Linux/Proton).^[7] MEMLA can be launched directly from within Steam. To do that, add the "<path-to-game>\MEMLA.exe" %command% command line argument in the game properties.

High frame rate

Frame rate is capped at 62 FPS.

Use Mirror's Edge Tweaks to change the cap^[14]^[15]
Notes As frame rate increases, so does player friction which can slightly alter the speed of certain movement mechanics and make downward slides exponentially more difficult to control at frame rates above 150 FPS (i.e. Chapter 1C RP&A building slide). Enemy accuracy is increased at higher frame rates. Load times are tied to frame rate: loading time decreases as frame rate increases.^[16]

Fix audio issues

Override default audio renderer^[22]
Mirror's Edge uses OpenAL for rendering audio. The OpenAL driver that is distributed with the game has sampling issues where all audio sources will unintentionally fade in, cutting off the attack/transients of sounds such as gunshots and footsteps. Replacing the driver with OpenAL Soft fixes these issues. This process can be automated with Mirror's Edge Tweaks with the `OpenAL Soft upgrade` option. Alternatively, follow the below manual steps: Download the latest OpenAL Soft binaries from the releases section. Extract the downloaded file and locate `soft_oal.dll` in `\bin\Win32` Rename `soft_oal.dll` to `OpenAL32.dll` Navigate to `<path-to-game>\Binaries` and replace the existing `OpenAL32.dll` with the renamed version. Navigate to `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config` and open `TdEngine.ini`. Locate `DeviceName` under `[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]` and enter "OpenAL Soft" (e.g. `DeviceName=OpenAL Soft`) Set `TdEngine.ini` to Read Only to prevent the game from overriding the changes. Notes OpenAL Soft provides further opt-in audio features such as HRTF, demonstrated here.

Notes

OpenAL Soft provides further opt-in audio features such as HRTF, demonstrated here.

Increase number of audio channels^[23]
Mirror's Edge by default allows a maximum of 32 simultaneous audio sources (OpenAL channels). This consequently results in audio being abruptly skipped if there are over 32 sound sources playing in the game at any given moment. This is most noticeable during high intensity scenarios with lots of gunfire, but can be experienced in other areas where there is lots of foley and other occluded sound sources. The `OpenAL Soft upgrade` option in Mirror's Edge Tweaks will also increase the channel limit, otherwise the below manual steps can be followed: Navigate to `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config` and open `TdEngine.ini`. Locate the `MaxChannels` line under the `[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]` section and enter a higher value (e.g., `MaxChannels=256`) Set `TdEngine.ini` to Read Only to prevent the game from overriding the changes. Notes While OpenAL Soft in theory supports up to thousands of channels, going higher than 256 in Mirror's Edge is excessive.

The Steam/Origin version should skip the first 3 steps and just set the appropriate language in the client game proprieties. Open regedit Go to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA GAMES\Mirror's Edge` Set the `locale` string to `XXX` (where XXX is the code for the desired voice language) Navigate to `<path-to-game>\TdGame\Localization` (where YYY is the code for the desired UI/subtitles language) Copy `YYY` to `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Localization` (create it if missing) Rename the folder from `YYY` to `XXX`. Open a command prompt inside the renamed folder Run `ren .YYY .XXX` Notes Interface can be further decoupled by swapping only those localization files whose name start with `Td`.

Issues fixed

Controller icons while playing with M&K

Unplug the controller^[25]
This is the only way to do it since the game doesn't have an option to disable it.^[26]

PhysX causes issues

The PhysX enhanced effects are enormously taxing on the CPU due to using single-threaded X87 instructions^[27] without an Nvidia GPU, may cause the game not to start or crash during gameplay, and may also cause performance issues on Nvidia GPUs due to the game using the older PhysX library files included in the game folder by default rather than the up to date ones from the driver.

Install and enable the latest PhysX update^[28]
Install the latest version of PhysX from NVIDIA PhysX System Software. Move or delete the `PhysXLocal` folder, as well as the `PhysXCore.dll` and `PhysXDevice.dll` files.^[29] For alternative methods, see Games prefer private own libraries to system ones.

Game does not launch

This can be caused by various issues, with the most prominent being a PhysX compatibility issue.

See PhysX section for the most likely cause of crashes on launch^[30]

Disable Mandatory ASLR for the game (Windows 10)^[31]
Open Windows Security In App & browser control, open Exploit protection settings In Program settings, add an exception for `<path-to-game>\Binaries\MirrorsEdge.exe` Disable "Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)"

Crash just after splash screen

Manually set resolution^[32]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `TdEngine.ini`. Change `ResX` and `ResY` to the monitor's horizontal and vertical resolution. Save the changes.

Disable default AA^[33]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `TdEngine.ini`. Set the value of `MaxMultisamples` to `1`. Save the changes.

Saves or settings don't actually get saved

If Controlled folder access is enabled, add the game to the allowed apps list^[34]

-{{ii}} Mirror's Edge uses OpenAL for rendering audio. By default, the game will use the OpenAL driver that is distributed with a standard OpenAL installation, which happens to be a pretty shoddy implementation of OpenAL. This can be replaced with a better version called "OpenAL Soft" and configured to enable HRTFs for accurate, 3D surround sound using only your stereo headphones. Sounds coming from in-front and behind will be distinctly different and even sounds coming from above or below will be clearly discernible.
+{{ii}} Mirror's Edge uses OpenAL for rendering audio. The OpenAL driver that is distributed with the game has sampling issues where all audio sources will unintentionally fade in, cutting off the attack/transients of sounds such as gunshots and footsteps. Replacing the driver with OpenAL Soft fixes these issues. This process can be automated with [[#Mirror's Edge Tweaks|Mirror's Edge Tweaks]] with the <code>OpenAL Soft upgrade</code> option. Alternatively, follow the below manual steps:
-# Download the latest [https://openal-soft.org/#release OpenAL Soft] binaries from the releases section.
+# Download the latest [https://openal-soft.org/#release OpenAL Soft binaries] from the releases section.
 # Extract the downloaded file and locate {{file|soft_oal.dll}} in {{file|\bin\Win32|folder}}

@@ Line 441: / Line 403: @@
 # Set {{file|TdEngine.ini}} to Read Only to prevent the game from overriding the changes.
 '''Notes'''
-{{++}} This also fixes the sampling issues of footstep volume/other sounds quickly fading in. The initial attack/transients of these sounds are no longer cut off.
+{{++}} OpenAL Soft provides further opt-in audio features such as HRTF, demonstrated [https://youtu.be/GkXJWR_4E3g here].

+{{Fixbox|description=Increase number of audio channels|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://youtu.be/oYOUkLIWWh0&t=65|title=Mirror's Edge Tweaks — V3|date=March 2024}}</ref>|fix=
+{{ii}} Mirror's Edge by default allows a maximum of 32 simultaneous audio sources (OpenAL channels). This consequently results in audio being abruptly skipped if there are over 32 sound sources playing in the game at any given moment. This is most noticeable during high intensity scenarios with lots of gunfire, but can be experienced in other areas where there is lots of foley and other occluded sound sources. The <code>OpenAL Soft upgrade</code> option in [[#Mirror's Edge Tweaks|Mirror's Edge Tweaks]] will also increase the channel limit, otherwise the below manual steps can be followed:
+# Navigate to {{file|{{p|userprofile\Documents}}\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config|folder}} and open {{file|TdEngine.ini}}.
+# Locate the <code>MaxChannels</code> line under the <code>[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]</code> section and enter a higher value (e.g., <code>MaxChannels=256</code>)
+# Set {{file|TdEngine.ini}} to Read Only to prevent the game from overriding the changes.
+'''Notes'''
+{{ii}} While OpenAL Soft in theory supports up to thousands of channels, going higher than 256 in Mirror's Edge is excessive.
