Mirror's Edge Catalyst 2016

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]

Mirror's Edge PC Fix by Steam006

Various improvements to the game for the GOG version.

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
  1. Download Mirror's Edge Tweaks and open it.
  2. 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
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open TdEngine.ini.
  3. Delete/comment out (add a ; to the beginning of) the StartupMovies line.
Use Mirror's Edge Tweaks
  1. Download Mirror's Edge Tweaks and open it.
  2. Under the "Other Tweaks" section, locate Intro video and disable it.

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).[6] 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.

Use Custom Hotkeys[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 hotkey, HW for resolution and after x32 W for windowed:
Bindings=(Name="#",Command="setres HxWx32W",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
  • Example of 1280x720 in windowed on hotkey F2:
Bindings=(Name="F2",Command="setres 1280x720x32W",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

Notes

The option does not work in the main menu.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Force SGSSAA (Nvidia only)[11][12]

Fix audio issues

Override default audio renderer[21]
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:
  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

OpenAL Soft provides further opt-in audio features such as HRTF, demonstrated here.
Increase number of audio channels[22]
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:
  1. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config and open TdEngine.ini.
  2. Locate the MaxChannels line under the [ALAudio.ALAudioDevice] section and enter a higher value (e.g., MaxChannels=256)
  3. 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.

  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

Issues fixed

Controller icons while playing with M&K

Unplug the controller[24]

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

PhysX causes issues

The PhysX enhanced effects are enormously taxing on the CPU due to using single-threaded X87 instructions[26] 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[27]
  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.[28]
  3. 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[29]
Disable Mandatory ASLR for the game (Windows 10)[30]
  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[31]
  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[32]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open TdEngine.ini.
  3. Set the value of MaxMultisamples to 1.
  4. 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[33]

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.
