I recently got a new laptop and I installed my steam, Origin and the games inside them. I recently got into Mirror's Edge. When i play the game it restricts me to 800x600 resolution all the graphic options to low and it does not let me change them either. I am on windows 8.1 so when i open my task manager it tells me ALL my Applications are 32 bit not one of them is 64 bit my skype, steam , my origin, my games, my google chrome everything. Im confused cause im running a 64 bit.

I know what you mean, but what i dont get is when i play BF4 on my laptop or League of legends I can use all the settings and get good frames. Bf= All low i get 34 frames League of legends= Max and i get 60 frames locked. Why is that it is only with Mirror's edge like i can still play the game but its annoying

Most games and programs are still 32bit. But no worry 64bit operating system can run those 32bit programs so that is not the cause of your problem with Mirror's Edge. What are the specs for your laptop? Could be restricted due to hardware or out of date drivers.

I have an Intel Core i5-4200m @ 2.50GHz 2.5ghz
Ram is 6gb 1300
64 x64 based processor
Windows 8.1
GT 740m 2gb
Like i know i did a bit of research and found out not all games are, But what i dont understand is that on my friends laptop Mirrors edge perfectly fine, its fullscreen and he can choose the video settings and stuff. And im also concerned that ALL the apps on my laptop are 32 bit
 


Most apps are 32-bit; that's normal. The problem is probably your GPU drivers if anything.
