FILEnetworks Blog: Pirates crack Mirror’s Edge DRM

First it was Razor1911 with LOTR:Conquest and now RELOADED have cracked Mirror’s Edge – another EA title using SecuROM DRM (as we reported earlier). RELOADED’s release include a full DVD ISO of the game as well as a cracked executable with DRM removed. The SecuROM DRM on Mirror’s Edge enforced a maximum of 5 installations limit, mandatory online activation as well as a DVD check.

All limitations have now been pwned by RELOADED’s crack – the executable seemingly has the DRM and triggers stripped off it. RELOADED is veteran group in the warez scene who’ve cracked many SecuROM protected titles back in in 2008 (including EA released titles).

The release has already made its way into private and public torrent trackers.

This will soon be followed by one click hosting sites, usenet and so on.

Update: The release has been nuked. There seems to be SecuROM triggers still present in the cracked exe. You may encounter random slowdowns such as faith moving slowly so that jumping and crouching become impossible on some levels if you are using a cracked version of the game. (Ex- on Chapter 3, and 4).

Update 2 : Mirrors.Edge.Crackfix-RELOADED has been released. Following is quoted from the NFO:

A trigger causing the gameplay to slow down during the fourth level, resulted in an unplayable game. This crackfix resolves the problem. Enjoy

Update 3: Mirrors.Edge.Update.1.01-RELOADED is out. This is the cracked v1.0.1 patch

If you are experiencing performance issues or other problems with the game, I suggest you try the solutions mentioned in this article.

P.S – I don’t think you need a legit CD-Key to play online. I have the legitimate version of the game but it never asked me for the CD-Key to when trying to play online.

Developer Description

Mirror’s Edge introduces players to Faith, a “runner” in a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of human traffic is closely watched. When Faith’s sister gets framed for a murder she did not commit, Faith finds herself on the edge of the city, on the wrong side of the law. Mirror’s Edge delivers players straight into the shoes of this modern day heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat, fast-paced chases and challenging puzzles. With a never-before-seen sense of movement and perspective, players are drawn into Faith’s world.
