{{Fixbox/fix|PhysX performance is much lower than in recent games}}

* Workaround: Make sure you've installed the PhysX driver that comes with your graphics card driver. Then move the <code>PhysXCore.dll</code> file out of the game's <code>Binaries</code> directory or rename it. That will cause it to use the system file instead, and should increase performance dramatically.

* Workaround: Make a symbolic link from the Steam install directory's <code>steamapps\common</code> to the game's files. Open an administrator Command Prompt, navigate to the <code>steamapps\common</code> folder in the Steam install using <code>cd</code> and type <code>mklink /d "mirrors edge" "<ME install common folder path>\mirrors edge"</code>. This should create a symbolic link (looks like a shortcut) in the <code>common</code> folder for the Steam install directory. Try restart Steam then launch.
