In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, your sister has been framed and now you are being hunted. You are a Runner called Faith — and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story.

Description

Tool that changes the FOV of Mirror's Edge the correct way, plus custom graphics settings, aspect ratios, PhysX adjustments, UI fixes and much more.

Great tool but the "Other Tweaks" section only works if your config files are located on the C: drive.

Are you having issues? This is expected behaviour, the game is programmed to read config files only from the default location on C: drive ("Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config"). If config files aren't present in this location, the game will create a fallback config in this location upon launch.

If you're talking about symbolic linking, I haven't tested this - although I still don't see why this wouldn't work.

I have my Documents folder on the D: drive. Not through symbolic linking, through the Location function that is built into the Windows properties dialog. This is pretty common for anyone that stores their data across multiple drives. But it sounds like you have it hardcoded to read from C:.

Updated, should work now. Probably a better idea to use symbolic linking, using that Location utility is not recommended practice.

I tried using this tweaker to change the aspect ratio to 21:9, couldn’t get it to work. Found the file, pressed the 21:9 button, started the game, chose all kinds of resolutions, 3440x1440 native, 1920x1080 tried a few times. Letterboxing remains, no idea what’s wrong

Adding to the previous comment, i figured out the problem: i installed it to the default location disk C, in which one needed administrator rights to modify files, i reinstalled it to other location and it works perfectly.

Hey there! Awesome tool, but it seems that since the April 15th patch the "Engine Tweaks" are not working anymore :(

Hmm how so? Other users aren't having issues. Is the Engine.u file on an a drive that's lacking the necessary file/folder permissions?

Hello again! Yeah, sorry, the problem was on my end. I installed Mirror's Edge in the default EA Games folder created by the EA App. Since this is a protected folder, I forgot I had to give your tool Admin rights so that it can edit the Engine.u file. Again, sorry for the confusion I might have caused, and thank you for creating this very handy tool!

Don’t be sorry, this helps me understand for the future - didn’t realise the new EA launcher did that. I might start putting in an error check for these things. Glad it works now

Hey. when i select the path to the folder where the TdEngine config file is, a notification pops up that no engine.u file could be found. Does anyone know how to fix this?

TdEngine config file is not correct, please read the instructions. You need to locate Engine.u from your game install location

Thank you for this.

Any idea why this might not work with 16:10?
I tried manual edits first (F3 8E E3 3F > CD CC CC 3F) and found your tool, however, I'm getting exactly same results with 16:10, 8:5, 1280x800.
When using this or manual edit for Steam Deck resolution, 1280x800, the main menu is inverted and displayed in lower half of the screen. Lowering the resolution fixes the rendering problem but defeats the purpose.

This is documented in the popover on my tool. Basically, if you want to use an aspect ratio LESS wide than 16:9, your in-game resolution has to be lower than/equal to 720 vertical pixels, OR the next closest 16:9 resolution (so in your case = 1366x768). Not ideal I know - it's something that I'm aware of and looking to fix.

Sorry, I glanced over it, my bad. Thank you for the extra explanation and tips.
The patched game behaves really strange if I try to set it to 1366x768 via config (this resolution is not available for selection). The game would launch with ResX=470, ResY=752.
I tried to set the resolution via a bound key in-game to 1366x768, but that yields 1286x768 with letterboxing and pillarboxing.
Eventually, I made it fullscreen by choosing 1152x720 from the menu. %) Doesn't look in any way inferior to me.

Ohh of course, you're on Steam Deck. The resolutions that are available in-game are based on resolutions made available to it by the graphics driver. In the case of NVIDIA control panel, this is based on the set of resolutions in the NVCP resolution tab. This would of course work differently on Steam Deck as NVIDIA isn't the GPU vendor.

And the config resolution edit does nothing unless it matches the GPU driver resolutions/what's available for selection in-game

That's not a result of my mod, that's the game's default behaviour if you don't modify the presentation model.

Windows defender identified this as a trojan.

It isn't - unfortunately, Defender freaks out due to the compilation process I use to build the executable. I have just now compiled my own bootloader to build the executable, so hopefully it shouldn't be picked up as a false-positive anymore. You're welcome to try the latest update.

Hi softsoundd, I tried using the mod but I'm still running Windows 7 - I believe this is the reason I received a crash due to api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll missing. I tried manually adding the missing dll to System32 and SysWOW64 but it threw another error. I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can do and I would understand if that were the case but thought I'd ask if you can make the program run on Windows 7? Thanks for your work regardless.

Absolutely fantastic mod, needs a Vsync toggle though, by default it disables it, which can be a problem even with VRR and FPS cap (tearing sneaks in occasionally).

I had a very specific question regarding PhysX simulation, I noticed that if you use your CPU to handle PhysX (for example if you have an AMD gpu), the calculations are done in single thread, which is extremely slow, but other games such as the Metro series do it multithreaded so it remains smooth even if you don't have Nvidia hardware (albeit with high CPU load but that's what we want).

Is it possible to make PhysX multithreaded by some sort of miracle of a hack? I tried to replace the PhysX dlls by the more recent ones but it doesn't change the problem, it's an in game implementation...

Vsync toggling and resolution selection is coming in the next update. I very highly doubt much can be done regarding PhysX, I (nor anyone else for other older PhysX games so far) wouldn't have the slightest clue as to how to replace the x87 instructions.

It's X87!!! God damn... I hate proprietary tech, it's long overdue Nvidia open sources it, PhysX GPU acceleration is an ancient, abandonned tech at this point. Oh well...

Great news for Vsync and resolution selection :)
Once we're at it, any hope for non super blurry text at 4K?

I have a proof of concept workaround for 4K here: Moddb.com

but watch this space... next update for this tool is a well overdue proper fix for text at any res - hence the resolution selector ;)

Not working for me on Windows 7 either. Something about api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll. Is the current version capable of removing black bars at 1280x1024, without upscaling a lower resolution?

Try this: Github.com

Although I don't think I need to explain why you shouldn't still be using Windows 7.

Not sure if its an issue with my understanding or if the settings are not being applied correctly, but switching Texture Management to Modern doesn't seem to fix any of the blurry UI

Edit: metweaks.ini only shows the following, am I missing how to apply these features?:
[GameTweaks]
GameInstallPath = C:/Games/MirrorsEdge
FOV = 110
AspectRatio = 16:9
PhysXFPS =

[GraphicsTweaks]
GlobalMinLOD =
GlobalMaxLOD =
GlobalLODBias = 0

Texture management is for textures, not UI. The UI fix is presented when you select a resolution greater than 1920x1080 in the resolution drop-down.
