{{Introduction

|introduction      = '''''Mirror's Edge''''' is a {{Glossary:Sci-fi}} {{Glossary:First-person}} {{Glossary:Action}} game developed by [[Company:DICE|DICE]] and published by [[Company:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]].
{{++}} Game performs well for machines that can handle most Unreal Engine 3 games such as [[Unreal Tournament 3]].
+
 
{{--}} Some issues and bugs when using NVIDIA PhysX.{{CN|date=June 2016}}
+
The game makes use of [[Engine:Unreal Engine 3|Unreal Engine 3]], as DICE's own [[Engine:Frostbite 1.5|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.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.deadendthrills.com/building-the-impossible-mirrors-edge|title=Building The Impossible
 +
The Art Of Mirror’s Edge|date=2021-11-23|snippet=Help came in the form of rendering company Illuminate Labs, which at the time specialised in a Maya renderer – a global illumination lighting engine – called Turtle.}}</ref> 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.
 +
 
 +
|release history  = The PC version of ''Mirror's Edge'' was released on January 13, 2009.<ref name="release"/> 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.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.ea.com/en-gb/legal/service-updates/i-q|title=Online Services Shutdown|date=2024-01-24}}</ref>

 +
{{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.

# Extract the downloaded file and locate {{file|soft_oal.dll}} in {{file|\bin\Win32|folder}}

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
  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 until the necessary changes are made.

Mirror's Edge Tweaks

Tool that changes the FOV of Mirror's Edge the correct way, without skybox issues. Plus ultrawide support, custom aspect ratios, PhysX adjustments and more.
FOV changes are persistent once set and the program does not need to be kept open for changes to be made.
Offers individually adjustable graphical tweaks not normally exposed in-game, such as various post-process effects, lightmaps, render resolution, and more.

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.

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.

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.
Remove "Press any key" delay
  1. Download Mirror's Edge Tweaks and open it.
  2. Apply the Allow config modifications patch under the "Game Tweaks" section to allow the game to launch with modified configs.
  3. 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
  1. Download files from the link above.
  2. 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 modifications 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]

High dynamic range display (HDR)

3D Surround Sound/HRTF Support

Override default audio renderer[22]
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

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.
  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.
