Even with a high-res texture pack, MWO will probably not utilize 8 GB or RAM, let alone more. Only megatextures in ID Tech 5 can really be that memory-intensive.

I am having great success with 64 bit, more stable and slightly higher fps. I have a corp mate who cant get it to run at all however and others who find 32 bit more stable and smoother running. Seems majority find it better than old 32bit client

Overall id say well done

It's kinda funny that you made the choice to buy a system with 32gb RAM but don't know how applications use it.

It is kind of funny that you assume everyone cares how applications use it. Do you have to understand how an internal combustion engine works to enjoy driving, or even looking at, a Ferrari? Do you have to understand astrophysics to marvel at the sky?

Some people have plenty of money to spend on things, but not the time, or even desire, to understand everything that it involves. No reason to insult their intelligence because of it.

Runs good so far and i had not a single Crash or Bug - hope you can further optimize the game bcs CW is really a performance killer leagues worse than the other game modes.

Is the Bitcount 64 is the fun right way right more!



Happy Holidays

[DjPush]

Way to go!

Haven't had: client crash, momentary screen dimming, heat/night vision black outs nor many other things that onced plagued the game. Thanks PGI! Now if you can just get SLI to work and make it so my fps doesn't tank in thick smoke. I will be one happy fanatic!

[MarineTech]

I haven't had a single problem with the 64bit version of the client.

It's been completely stable for me and my FPS in game is doing a lot better.

To PGI I say "Good show that man!"

[Bracchus]

So far the new 64bit app is really nice, while not giving me any significant fps boost it does make it a lot more stable. Those nasty fps drops you tend to get running the 32bit app is nowhere to be seen. Really really nice!

[Pilotasso]

changed to the 64 bit mode. game runs maxed out without issues but I fail to detect any difference. memory allocation is barely 1GB and CPU usage averages at 40% (i5 2500K @4.5Ghz with GTX 970).

i was so tired of seeing 32 bit knowing 64 is... um, better. thanks

I'm a Mech Warrior I think I can handle the risk.. I mean I'm more likely to die in Battle then a client malfunction.

[LoRdLoSs1337]

This may not fit in this thread, but is there anyway to launch just the client .exe (assuming of course the game is already updated to latest). I have just started using RadeonPro to squeeze more performance out of my 5770, however, I can only get it to work if RadeonPro is run with administrative privileges. Now this wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for RP seeming to not work well running as admin (gives you warning on startup that you should run without admin), it seems to work fine but the OSD causes the game to crash. But I can't troubleshoot because MWO needs admin privileges, as in you can't start the game without them (allowing RP to hook it's API since it also wont be running as admin), the client.exe doesn't need admin but the launcher does and that causes the client to run as admin.

So is there anyway to launch the game without administrative privileges?

PGI,
Just want to say that I LOVE 64-bit overall. Higher framerates, smoother graphics performance. Sheer awesome. Of late though, I've been having some issues connecting for every match. I get searching-->connecting-->Blank Screen-->Connecting-->back to Mechlab. I can sometimes rejoin. Sometimes I have to try rejoining 3 and 4 times. Very Strange.

Thanks!

[Spr1ggan]

64bit just randomly stopped working for me. The launcher now crashes if I try to launch in 64bit, 32 works fine though.

many of you may not realize that what we refer to 64-bit CPU is in reality 32-bit processing and upto 64-bit addressing. today's CPU's still execute moving 32-bit chucks of data. There are not 64-bit/lines for the data to move on, just reusing the 32 bit/lines twice as hard. Blame AMD for this state of computing today. They started it, Intel simply did not bother to try to change the marketing that AMD had begun.

The General Purpouse Registers ARE 64Bit wide.

I have no idea why you are saying this...

32 or 64 does not matter. Its a fair game people want at this point!
HSR should not make misses hits or hits misses!
[Redacted]You will keep failing PGI! Its 2015, not 1987!


Outside of the box is what you are aiming for. Not inside the box. Otherwise all you at PGI need to quit and work for WOW. ( AND now I dont play WOW, I playd the demo to lvl 8... way be4 it was F2P) QQ all you want you know im right! 64 was available when this game was launched, but you (forum QQers will say it was IGP, but it was PGI) wanted to build this thing on a formation of OLD, not NEW! Now its awwwwww sh*& its a new decade and we are a decade behind.

To all you forum QQers over 40. A decade ago was 2005... Yes 2005... Not 1980! We dont play on "entindos" anymore!

Now I GET IT! 64 is better then 32... but PGI wants you to think its some new school neverb4 seen thing no one in the last decade is aware of that hey are on top of.

GET REAL PGI! You should have been supporting 64b on your "launch date"!

no need to toss insults out. make your point and leave it at that.

@Funkadelic Mayhem: you are one of this kids from the generation "give me everything and more for free and keep supporting me even if I thread you like shi**" ?

Back 2 Topic:
Changing the dropdeck within CW caused my x64 version to crash!
Allover a little less stable than the 32 bit but I'm full of hope x64 will solve some performance issues in the future... keep on going PGI! :-)

64-bit integer capability All general-purpose registers (GPRs) are expanded from 32 bits to 64 bits, and all arithmetic and logical operations, memory-to-register and register-to-memory operations, etc., can now operate directly on 64-bit integers. Pushes and pops on the stack default to 8-byte strides, and pointers are 8 bytes wide.

What is not being said about these 64 bit GPRs is that the data is moved into and out of them 32 bits at a time in high 32-bit and low 32 bit chunks. The benefit from EM64T was the increased memory limitation. In the past when we went from 8-bit computing, to 16 bit, to 32 bit computing we saw bit lane increases in all memory, register as well as the lines to tx/rx the bits on.

@Funkadelic Mayhem:

Hating on PGI because they're improving their software to potentially make it run better for more users.

Assuming everyone who's older is an awful gamer.



I will just leave it at this suggestion to keep things civil:

If you think things are so horrible, please don't post here. Go back to playing War Thunder where apparently "its about skill" and you won't be surrounded by "40+ year olds" pining for their "entindos" days anymore.

You'll be happier.

We'll be happier.

Everyone wins.

BTW, I bet you find a lot of young gamers in their prime just chock full of l33t skills in War Thunder. After all it takes a lot of skill to let the game autopilot your plane for you with mouse control while you point and click enemy planes to shoot them down. Also, don't forget that WWII flight sims are famous for attracting a younger audience, too! Oh wait....
