Mirror's Edge Catalyst - PC Stuttering Fix
After years of trying to fix the sturring issues I've been having with Mirror's Edge Catalyst, I jumped back in once more to give it another go at fixing it and I believe I've finally found the cause.
Pay attention to the graph in the bottom left, which shows CPU and GPU spikes when the game stutters, typically during fast screen movement. I disable some settings, test, re-enable them to show the issue comes back, then finally disable them again.
The issue appears to be with some of the LOD billboard settings. I set the three settings below, though I'm not sure yet if it's one specifically or a combination of all three:
LMSBillboard.StreamingEnable false
LMSBillboard.DownscaleOnOverloadEnable false
LMSBillboard.LODBlendingEnable false
Also found this helped as well:
PostProcess.ScreenSpaceRaytrace32BitEnable false
Other commands at the begining are:
PerfOverlay.DrawGraph true (enables the performance graph)
PerfOverlay.DrawFps true (enables FPS counter in top right)
RenderDevice.VSyncEnable false (disables VSync)

You're welcome. I kept coming back to it a few times a year to see if I could fix it or if a driver update had helped but never could find anything. Ended up going through basically all of the console settings to find this. Still get the occassional hiccup, but definitely playable now
The graphics on this game is beautiful.
i love this game so much
If this doesn't work, you can also try excluding the MEC save file directory from your antivirus settings.
Dude what the fuck youre an actual legend! Thank you so much!

@oshinoshinobu9500 wouldn't 64 bit always be better anyway? Like if it's dependent on your computer, who the hell has a 32 bit nowadays. Okay awesome you've been so helpful thank you!!

@oshinoshinobu9500 ps. Nice name and avatar. Peak anime, Shinobu and Oshino Meme are literally my phone home screen, he's got his arm chilling on her head while theyre both sat down on a school desk likely from the abandoned school
Do the commands outside of the "LMSBillboard.StreamingEnable" change the graphics in any way?

@@oshinoshinobu9500 Thanks for answer. I needed clarification for my addition to this game's article on PCGamingWiki
Hey bud, did you ever get this fixed? I'm really looking forward to your next run. I go back to your old perfect run every now and again and zen out.
how or where do i put all the stuff?
If inputting into console, do i need to reenter upon every new boot? If so, should one change these settings from the config files?

The settings re-set every boot so you'd need to re-enter them each time. I assume there's probably a way to set them via a config file, or startup options/arguments but I haven't looked into that yet myself. EDIT: Tested some stuff. you can set some options by creating a User.cfg file in the install directory, but the LMSBillboard settings don't seem to work here. Tried adding them to PROF_SAVE_profile as well but it gets reset when you launch the game.
