Mirror's edge install question.

[jmc007]

Installing Mirror's Edge with EA Download Manager, on Windows 7 64bit and originally it was going to install to C:\Program Files(x86).
I manually changed it to C:\Program Files to hopefully make sure it utilises the 64bit OS.

Really not sure how things work on 64bit and Program Files(x86) v's Program Files.
Would it of run properley, at it's full potential, in the x86 folder?
Should I of changed the installation target directory?
Someone enlighten me on this please.

I don't think it matters really? But my knowledge of x86 etc is limited. I always have a separate folder on the root for C: called "Games" to keep my games separate from my applications. I've not had any issues

Edit: Most games that fully utilise 64bit usually have a another 64bit executable, for example Crysis has this (2 .exe files). So make sure your short cut is going to the right one

Cheers for that maxilive. Installed now and going good.

Just about to Edit the TdEngine.ini in the Mirror's Edge config directory now, to uncap the 62FPS.

[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62

For anyone wanting to know how just change the value in bold.

thanks again maxilife. Nice.

It doesn't matter where you install it, the exectuable will remain the same.

Thank you.
Ha ha. Just looked and it's gone and installed it in Program Files (x86) anyway.
Yeah. That, keeping a seperate Games folder on C: sounds good to me too. Gonna go that way in future.
Cheers all.

I've also gone to the point of removing the company folders so for me Mirrors Edge is C:\Games\Mirror's Edge rather than C:\Games\EA Games\Electronic Arts\EA Sports\"insert sponsor label here"\Mirror's Edge\

Makes it far easier to see what I have installed!
