PZ on 32 bits? (Steam)

[Psycho Bvic]

I have a simple question, is there any way I could play PZ on my Windows 7 32 bits PC? (by ussing Steam I mean, I don't want to dowload some illegal version on internet)

[Eekhoorn]

Both 32 and 64 bit exe are in the install dir.

[Psycho Bvic]

how is that? where is the install direction? I thought that 32 bits cannot run the game... I mean, I can't even dowload the game on Steam, the app won't give me the option (the install botton isn't blue, it's black)

[Eekhoorn]

The install dir by default is: ...\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid

You're looking for:

ProjectZomboid32.exe
ProjectZomboid64.exe

Shortcut to desktop and you're good to go.

Although I do believe the game should automatically pick the correct version by detecting your OS. It does for me.

You can start it is 32 by right clicking on the game in steam and browsing local files then open the 32 file

fyi, your windows 7 32-bit has a free upgrade to windows 10-64 bit

ok, first of all thanks for both of your help :)

I can't install the game and I have no install direction on my PC beacause I can't even download the game hahahah, I mean, I buyed it, but I cannot download it cause the button is on black colour, not blue... I don't know how to express myself better, sorry,

I reclaimed the thing with the official suppot on PZ Steam, and the person who answered said to me that my PC have a 32 bits SO, and that's why I couldn't download the game...

and the person who answered said to me that my PC have a 32 bits SO, and that's why I couldn't download the game

Then why would there be two exe files?

[Psycho Bvic]

I don't know, that's all she (I think it was a girl) told me, and I simply resignate hahaha, however this morning I thought "mmh, maybe anybody knows a way to play it somehow" and here I am, asking how can I even download the game just because Steam doesn't give me the option :/

[Eekhoorn]

Ok, I just checked the storepage and it indeed says 64 bit exclusively. Weird. Why would anyone use a 32 bit version on a 64 bit OS? Maybe it's a residue from the past.

[Psycho Bvic]

Oh, I see :/ so that person on the official support was right, there is no way to play on 32 bits systems anymore, so sad to read that :/ but at least now I know that for sure.

Anyway, thank you very much, to all of you, for all of your help :D
