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

  1. Make sure you're not forcing vsync off in your driver settings
  2. Check the Engine config file
    1. adjust "smoothedframerate" to 0 & 60
    2. 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 to en, de, fr etc.
    (This may not work with all versions, confirmed with German retail)

No Sound During Cutscenes/FMVs in Windows 7

  1. Download Creative ALchemy Universal (doesn't require Creative sound cards).
  2. Install and run ALchemy.
  3. If the game is not listed under "Installed Games", click "Add".
  4. Add "Mirror's Edge" to the "Game Title" box.
  5. 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 under "...Steam\steamapps\common\mirrors edge\"
  6. Check the "Install into Sub Folder" box and type in "Binaries".
  7. Check the "Install into both Root and Sub Folder" box.
  8. Leave the other values at their default and click "OK", the profile should be created.
  9. 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".
  10. 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)

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.
