2024 Update

[234thewolf]

Anyone else notice that this game got an update. I know this had to have been recent because I haven't had this game for more than a couple years, but it seems like there's been a huge visual quality update. The previous blank color with low poly text billboards have all been updated to have clear text based around the Catalyst world. In the level "Flight" section 3, there's the section that tipped me off to this update. When you need to get to the elevator in the red corridor there are three guards that come out of the elevator. This area has been updated with a (sheet/screen/drapes/whatever appropriate name) in a few different sections on that level, each of which has physics to it. For some reason within the last year, this game has been updated. I have tried to find a way to downpatch to see all the changes and be able to play the older version of the game but I have yet to find a way to do so. Personally I'm not a fan of this, it lost some of the character to Mirror's Edge and while I wouldn't care if I could downpatch and play the game I fell in love with, I can't and I'm stuck with this change and I don't like it.

I haven't noticed anything yet. But I think it's remarkable that Catalyst got 1 update after such a long time. Although as I said, I haven't seen it myself yet. Because I don't play the game that often anymore, because I think. Now that EA have shut down the servers for no reason, it's no longer really fun for you.

It’s not an update to Catalyst. This is og Mirror’s Edge (2009) getting an update

The only update to the public build was over a decade ago:

Could your graphics settings have changed?
For example, the "drapes" use the optional PhysX.

I don’t believe my graphics have changed as I still use the default settings but I’ll check

It's a shame then I can't. I have the title on steam. But strangely enough, the game crashed on the last level under Windows 11. Unfortunately, the compatibility mode didn't help anymore, which is why I bought Mirror's Edge for Playstation 3.

I really doubt there was any update, since as another guy pointed out, there was no change registered on steamdb. If I were to guess, the OP just probably played on lower graphical settings since those tend to remove LOD objects from the game.
