32bit & 64bit

[LAUGHING SOLDIER]

What difference does it make? My laptop is 64bit btw and i usually play on 32bit.

If you have more than 4GB of RAM, running the game on 64 bit will make use of it all, and even more if your motherboard allows it.

The difference wouldn't be noticeable, however, if you got more than 4GB of free RAM when playing Project Zomboid, you can play in 64 bit.

It might be a little bit faster.

i have 8GB, yet the game crashes whenever i use 64bit mode :/

Soldier, what motherboard are you using? Are you sure that you have 4GB spare when playing, meaning you dont have 30 tabs in chrome, more than 1 anti virus and game active etc? Needs to be 4GB available. You can check this in task manager.

Make it crash again and post the console.txt up on pastebin.com, linking it here. It will tell us what's up.

Unless you have a 32 Bit OS there is no reason to go for the 32 Bit version of the game. I'm fairly sure we're going to default to 64 Bit at some point.

Yeah, i usually have around 7GB available most of the time (Out of 8GB)

Nope, my laptop is 64bit by default. Though in the files it says 86bit but anyway. I'll try remember to do that.

Better memory usage. That is the difference.

Oh, does it make a difference in the game? Because when im running i still run into the big black blocks

[Mute Crow Druid]

Yeah, it's memory usage stuff. It's only really noticeable if you have more than 4GB of ram available. Like I have 16GB IIRC and it makes a HUGE difference. But it'll vary.

Could be all crashy because you may not have the 64 bit Java to run it.
Yes those are separate installs in the wonderful world of Oracle :(

Installing Java is completely irrelevant to PZ. We ship the JVM with the game.

This^

Enough RAM and OS is what is required. Let him post the crash.txt before we jump to conclusions.

I'll try again now. Where do i find console.txt aswell?

[LAUGHING SOLDIER]

Doesnt seem to be crashing now.. Maybe it was a multiplayer thing?
