MedgeNet restores the online functionality for the PC version of Mirror's Edge. The original servers for this game closed years ago, making features like leaderboards and time trials inaccessible. This project creates a bridge that connects your game to active community servers. You regain access to competitive play and global stat tracking without needing to modify your game files in complex ways.
Ensure your computer meets these requirements before you begin:
- Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Game Version: Original Mirror's Edge (Steam, Origin, or EA App version)
- Storage Space: 50 MB of free space
- Internet Connection: Required for connecting to game servers
- Permissions: Administrator access to run the installation
Make sure you have a legal copy of Mirror's Edge installed on your machine. MedgeNet works with the standard installation folder provided by your game launcher.
You need to access the release page to get the correct files for your system.
Visit this page to download the latest version
Look for the section marked Releases on the right side of the page. Click the link that shows the latest version number. Find the file ending in .zip or .exe under the Assets heading. Save this file to your computer.
Follow these steps to install the project:
- Locate the file you downloaded in your browser.
- If you downloaded a .zip file, right-click the folder and select Extract All. Choose a location on your computer and click Extract.
- Open the folder containing the extracted files.
- If you see an installer file, double-click it. Follow the instructions on the screen.
- If the files are already extracted, move the entire folder to a location where you keep your games. Do not place it inside the Mirror's Edge installation folder unless directed.
- Run the application file named MedgeNet.exe.
If Windows shows a security prompt protect your PC, click More Info, then click Run Anyway. This happens because the software communicates with network ports to restore the game features.
Once the application runs, it opens a small window that handles the connection. Keep this window open while you play Mirror's Edge.
- Open the MedgeNet tool.
- Select the path to your Mirror's Edge game installation folder if the tool asks.
- Click the Connect button.
- Launch Mirror's Edge through your usual game launcher.
- Navigate to the game menu. You see the online sections active.
- Select any online feature to test the connection.
If the game does not show online features, close both the game and the tool. Repeat the process. Ensure your firewall is not blocking the connection. If a firewall prompt appears, select Allow Access for both private and public networks.
Use these steps if you run into problems:
- Connection Error: Check your internet connection. Ensure no other programs use the same network ports.
- Game Not Found: Reinstall the game or manually select the folder path in the settings menu of the tool.
- Update Required: GitHub often receives small updates. If your version seems outdated, return to the download link and grab the latest release.
- Black Screen: Update your graphics card drivers. This software does not change how your graphics card talks to the game, but it requires a stable environment to function correctly.
