I just downloaded the new update but can't find the option to enable mirror reflections. Anyone else having this issue?

Could we at least get a less official way to activate them, like by editing a config file? My GPU is way too overpowered for my CPU and this leads me to believe that mirrors might have been fine for me.

Really sad to see them gone, especially without changes to the existing maps to make their non-existence less obvious.

No, to allow mirror rendering, the entire engine needs to be recompiled basically. Not as simple as a config value change.

I get that it's not an easy fix, but it should be worked on anyways because now i cannot even see trough the glass in the door on post office or doors on Hospital, it looks off and kind of breaks the realism aspect of the game, i hope they won't be left out forever.

that's an entirely different issue. we're talking about actual mirrors, not any glass surface. mirrors were never enabled on the doors you speak of anyway. only select few places, like bathroom mirrors, etc.

unreal's implementation of mirrors is just weird. for it to work we need to enable an engine wide setting. even when you dont use mirrors in a level, the feature itself slows down the renderer a bit to facilitate it (around ~15% we found, which is a lot for lower-end systems). it cant be switched off at runtime
