Yes, for many games I prefer this type of aspect ratio... Any way to force it for Mirror's Edge?

If the resolutions shown in the game are not enough, you can change it manually in the TdEngine.ini file located in: C:\Users\Your Username\Documents\EA Games\Mirror's Edge\TdGame\Config

Search for the entries "ResX=" and "ResY=" followed by your current resolution and change it to a resolution that fits the 4:3 aspect ratio. For example:

ResX=1440
ResY=1080

if you own a Full HD monitor.

Forcing the correct aspect ratio should also be done in the control panel of your graphics driver. For NVIDIA you'll find it in the menu "Adjust desktop size and position". Under "Apply the following settings:" select the "Scaling" tab and choose "Aspect ratio". Under "Perform scaling on:" select "GPU" and tick "Override the scaling mode by games and programs".

For some games it's also necessary to add a custom resolution in your GPU control panel.

A definite thanks for the informative post. But I wasn't precise enough in my original post, my apologies. I meant to ask if there was a way of forcing the game to render full screen in 4:3 without letterboxing because, as the PCGamingWiki page confirms, all other aspect ratios are letterboxed. I'm guessing it's hard-coded into the game?

Sorry for late reply, but it seems there is really no solution for playing this game in 4:3 fullscreen. I tried a lot of things, but it didn't work.

Hi, i know its already late for a reply, but i find a way to make it. Use the Hex Editor on the engine.u archive on the game files, and modify the hex value from 39 8E E3 3F (16:9) to AB AA AA 3F (4:3), doing that the game will open without the black bars, BUT, the game still will have a problem, the game menu will be glicht out, so the gameplay, to fix that u will have to edit some lines on mirrors edge TdEngine.ini, on "Documents/EA Games/Mirror's Edge/TdGame/Config/TdEngine.ini". Find the following lines:
- UpscaleScreenPercentage=False (replace False with True)
- ScreenPercentage=100.000000 (replace 100 with 75)
And save the the archive. Its a lot a work, i know LMAO, but what i did worked for me, i hope that works for u to. sry for the bad english, its not my first language.
