    E: refunded Mirror’s Edge, it was running at like 5 FPS on low settings.

    E2: picked up Mirror’s Edge on GoG instead for the same price ($3). Disabled PhysX and it runs like a dream.

      In the future try checking ProtonDB before buying/refunding. For Mirror’s Edge in particular, it seems all you have to do is disable PhysX.

      ProtonDB is an amazing tool, everyone should check it out!

      Were there any physx settings turned on when running Mirror’s Edge? It can bring a 5090 to it’s knees due to removal of 32bit physx support. Great recent gamer’s nexus video on it. Anyway, physx running on the CPU with Mirror’s Edge kills fps

    I’ve stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.

        In case you’re wondering, the correct response was:

        I’m sorry. My country is overrun with fascists and Nazis and I’m horrified by the threats to your nation’s sovereignty that manchild of a president is making. He does not speak for me, and I appreciate that you would decide not to spend money in a country that’s actively threatening your family.

        You know, for the next time you feel the urge to defend a government that demonstrably doesn’t care about you or anyone else.

      Fortunately, price info is actually tracked! If you use the SteamDB browser extension you can see the historical low price right on a game’s product page on Steam.

      For example, Terraria is on sale for it’s 2 year low price of $4.99, but the lowest it’s ever been is $1.99 (a little over ten years ago).
