I’ve bought this game recently and on my core-i7 4770k with 32GB ram and GTX 780 I got micro freezes so was kind of impossible to play at all!
But on another PC with AMD FX 8350 4.0 gHz and 16Gb Ram there were not any freezes.
I tried overclocking CPU to 4.3 gHz (Core i7 4770k) but it did not help. Also tried to use only 2 (8gb x 2) Ram instead of 4 DIMMS, but also did not help. And finally I found this.
Thanks to this guy, he really saved my life!
So here is a list of what can you do to get rid of freezes on your PC:
- Remove or Close Asus GameFirst app. Another name is ROG GameFirst. (This method helped me)
- Run game. Then press Alt+Tab and minimize the game. Open task manager (Ctrl+Shift+ESC) and find Mirrors Edge process and choose “details” to find its process. Set process priority to “High”
- If you have powerful PC, got to Game Settings->Video and set Graphics Quality to “Ultra” then re-run the game
Hope that these advices will help you at least to achieve comfortable gameplay!
What I think IMHO about this game
OK, this game is a second version of Mirrors Edge story. But as for me Catalyst is really a bullshit. As I saw some responses of other people who saying that game is too short and you can complete story in 8 hours. And its price is too high for 8 hours of single play and also game is laggy and for my surpize I did not see ANY REFLECTIONS! This is MIRRORS EDGE, guys! Mirror must reflect anything, even the first old version has this feature. I agree that the price is really high for this game but maybe for USA and Europe it’s ok. Anyway, we have great parkour game with FPS view, and on the other hand we have bad optimization for PC and graphics is not so cool even if requires powerful PC.
