How do I change the 64 bit version back to 32 bit version?
As in the title. 64 bit version sucks. Hitting enter to bring up chat just locks you, you can't move or shoot until you press escape. And it's totally unstable.
So, once again. How do I change the version?

Your system must be unstable, as I have zero errors/problems with the 64 bit client let alone the game, people claim they keep making the game unstable, yet I still have zero crashes, makes me think other peoples systems are to blame not the game...

Wasn't the 64bit client rolled back on the last second again?

i was running the 32bit version after yesterdays patch. check task manager when playing to see which one it's using.

Just a quick note: You have to do all that after starting the launcher, otherwise it will just patch the planetside exe with the 32 bit one.

It doesn't even use the 64 bit version for me. Maybe it is good that way.

I actually asked how to play the 32 bit version instead of the 64 bit one... And nobody answered. Oh, and bye13, more than half of all the players experience crashes and instability. Do you really think more than half of all the PS2 population has wrong systems?

If the system were to blame, there would be problems with other games.

PS2 has had crashes for many players since launch. You don't know what you're talking about.

I havent had any issues with the 64bit version other than the crashing that happened on the first release, since they relaunched it I havebeen fine and able to shoot bot :NC: and :VS: perfectly fine without dropping.

I suggest you check your system over ensure all drivers are up to date and you aren't using any beta drivers to be on the safe side.

Stop making an idiot of me. Everything is fine with my system, games with the same or higher specs than PS2 are working fine and this is just an epic game crapified by SOE. Now I've noticed that it rolled back to x64 automatically (strange). However, I experience even more performance and stability issues. My thoughts after today's 20-minute-fight (which made me totally frustrated) are only to throw this ♥♥♥♥ out. I'll come back and kick ass when they decrapify it.

Sorry but I don't see any issue, in fact it's better than the 32bit launcher. Sounds to me like your system is crap. PS2 isn't crap, yea it has it's ups and downs, but it's pretty much one of a kind game.

PC gaming.

Not everyone has the same hardware configuration. So what works fantastic for one person doesn't neccessarily mean it will work at all for another, even with similar high-end hardware.

As for me... the 64 bit client works excellently. It worked great last time as well, for the 6 or so hours it was live before they rolled it back. But as I said, other peoples' experiences may vary.
