    I haven't done any real tweaking to my system, everything is pretty much the stock setup and the game mirrors edge refuses to launch (no errors), so far is the only game I have not been able to run on this system, i've tried forcing it to use the nvidia gpu with no effect, i've got the impression i can't just randomly install different drivers due to the switchable graphics setup so not sure what my options would be for trying to get this working, never had any trouble on my other machines

    i've seen a few videos on youtube of people playing this game, probably not r3s but wondering if anyone here has been able to run this game and if they needed to do anything to get it running

    If its a steam game try checking the integrity of cashe files.

    To my understanding the way Optimus works you can just install the latest normal driver from Nvidia.
