Mirror's Edge 2009
Mirror's Edge Catalyst 2016

Mirror's Edge is a sci-fi first-person action game developed by DICE, creators of the Battlefield franchise, 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.[1] 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 game was released on Steam and Origin on January 12th, 2009. 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.

Name Notes
Pure Time Trials Map Pack Were only available for Origin version; it is not compatible with the Steam and GOG version.
Windows
The DLC was only ever present in the Origin version of the game, and is no longer available to buy. Fortunately, it can be modded into versions other than the Origin one (unless if using Origin Fix) by using the Pure Time Trial Map Pack mod.

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

Skip intro videos and wait periods

Skip intro videos

Use the -nostartupmovies command line argument, or delete/comment out (add a ; to the beginning of) the StartupMovies line from TdEngine.ini.

Note that only the second skip intro method works with MEMLA.
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. Locate DefaultUI.ini at <path-to-game>\TdGame\Config and change TimeTillStartButton=4 to TimeTillStartButton=0.

Note that this change requires MEMLA.

Improve performance with PhysX

See PhysX causes issues for a summary.

Shard Roof Draw Distance Fix

This mod fixes drawing distance problems, that can be encountered at game epilog.[4]
Installation
  1. Download files from the link above.
  2. Extract the TdGame folder into %USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge.

4K Ultra HD
 
 UI is incredibly blurry at resolutions above 1920 horizontal pixels.
Field of view (FOV)
Default FOV is 90 and cannot be adjusted in-game. There is also a bug where the FOV will be forced to 85 upon dying and can only be fixed by restarting a level. See Field of view (FOV) for workarounds.
Windowed

Can be unlocked with the usual Unreal Engine 3 method.[7][8] As framerate 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 framerates above 150 FPS (i.e. Chapter 1C RP&A building slide). Enemy accuracy is also increased at higher framerates. Additionally, as load times are tied to framerate, loading time decreases as framerate increases.[9]
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See High dynamic range display (HDR).

Field of view (FOV)

Instructions[10]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open TdInput.ini.
  3. Add the following line under the [Engine.PlayerInput] section and change # to the prefered FOV:
Bindings=(Name="One",Command="FOV #",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

Notes

The desired FOV value key has to be pressed upon every game launch, after a level is loaded.
Resets between levels.
Setting a FOV higher than 105 can cause the skybox to break in certain scenes.
The following methods do not present the same issues as the one above.
Use the Persistent FOV addon[11]
Applies only to gameplay, respects the FOV set by in-game cutscenes.
FOV values between 60 to 179 can be applied
Use Flawless Widescreen[6]
Changes the FOV of the main menu and at times can scale the UI.
-20 to +20 FOV only.
Needs to be running in the background.

3D Surround Sound/HRTF Support

Override default audio renderer[26]
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.
  1. Download the latest OpenAL Soft binaries from the releases section.
  2. Extract the downloaded file and locate soft_oal.dll in \bin\Win32
  3. Rename soft_oal.dll to OpenAL32.dll
  4. Navigate to <path-to-game>\Binaries and replace the existing OpenAL32.dll with the renamed version.
  5. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config and open TdEngine.ini.
  6. Locate DeviceName under [ALAudio.ALAudioDevice] and enter "OpenAL Soft" (e.g. DeviceName=OpenAL Soft)
  7. Set 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.

Independent dubbing and captioning

Override language files
The Steam/Origin version should skip the first 3 steps and just set the appropriate language in the client game proprieties.
  1. Open regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA GAMES\Mirror's Edge
  3. Set the locale string to XXX (where XXX is the code for the desired voice language)
  4. Navigate to <path-to-game>\TdGame\Localization (where YYY is the code for the desired UI/subtitles language)
  5. Copy YYY to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Localization (create it if missing)
  6. Rename the folder from YYY to XXX.
  7. Open a command prompt inside the renamed folder
  8. Run ren *.YYY *.XXX

Notes

Interface can be further decoupled by swapping only those localization files whose name start with Td.

Issues fixed

PhysX causes issues

The PhysX enhanced effects are enormously taxing on the CPU due to using single-threaded X87 instructions[28] 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[29]
  1. Install the latest version of PhysX from NVIDIA PhysX System Software.
  2. Move or delete the PhysXLocal folder, as well as the PhysXCore.dll and PhysXDevice.dll files.[30]
  3. For alternative methods, see Games prefer private own libraries to system ones.

Game does not launch on Windows 10

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

Crash just after splash screen

Manually set resolution[32]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open TdEngine.ini.
  3. Change ResX and ResY to the monitor's horizontal and vertical resolution.
  4. Save the changes.
Disable default AA[33]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open TdEngine.ini.
  3. Set the value of MaxMultisamples to 1.
  4. Save the changes.

No sound during cutscenes/FMVs in Windows 7

Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.[citation needed]

Merc's audio cuts off before end of sentence

Disable GX mode in Xonar Audio Center[citation needed]
  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Select Xonar Control Center.
  3. Near the bottom right is a button with GX on it, press it and GX mode should now be disabled.

Crosshair toggle

Crosshair Toggle[citation needed]
This tweak will bind F11 to toggle the crosshair.
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open TdInput.ini.
  3. Search for section [Engine.PlayerInput] and add this line in it:
Bindings=(Name="F11",Command="Showhud",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

Adding binoculars

Binoculars tweak[citation needed]
This tweak will add switchable two staged zoom simulating binoculars behavior from other games.
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open TdInput.ini.
  3. Search for section [Engine.PlayerInput] and add these lines in it:
Bindings=(Name="ZoomIn1",Command="FOV 50 | setbind YYY ZoomIn2",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name="ZoomIn2",Command="FOV 30 | setbind YYY ZoomOut",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name="ZoomOut",Command="FOV XXX | setbind YYY ZoomIn1",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name="YYY",Command="ZoomIn1",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

where XXX is the desired FOV (90 is the default), and YYY is name of key which will trigger zoom. Look out for examples in TdInput.ini. Alternatively, set your custom magnification by changing values 50 and 30.

  • Default zoom (90 FOV).

  • First stage (50 FOV).

  • Second stage (30 FOV).
