Grim Dawn.exe is a [32-bit executable file]

[r1k1]

any chance we get a 64-bit executable files? For people that are using 64bit versions of operating systems?

Does a dungeon runner need more ram? How much is being used now?

[tide{S}haper industries]

Well, I'm running the game just fine (besides the freezes caused by the last patch) on a potato with 2GB ram and a x64 Win7. If there is no browser in the background running, I'm using around 70% of these 2GB for OS, Security & GD... ^^
I don't think GD needs a 64-bit .exe :D

I got 16gigabytes of ddr4 is that's what you were asking about. Naw it ain't about ram usage, 64bit file could execute twice as many bits per proceessing cycle in real world. But i guess that's hard to undestand.

May I ask what school you went to to learn that bit of knowledge?

And what benefits do you expect from that in GD?
We're not talking about some intensiv rendering or encryption software. o.O

Maybe it would work faster with less load on the cores. And yeah, it is preety intensive process to run. Can eat alot of CPU resources on any processor.

You have looked at the recomended specs, it clearly states 6 GB Ram. Now you do know that a 32 bit system can only utilize 4 GB Max Ram. So you clearly need a 64 bit OS to maximize 6 GB Ram.

64 bit in very rare & specific cases can virtually double performance. However most programs specifically written for 64bit processors only get a modest performance boost, plus in some cases 64bit gives no boost at all. Since Grim Dawn is running on the developers own engine code, they'd most likely have to recode many many parts with no foreseeable end result. Only the devs can fully answer your question though.

Why would you have ANY program running in the background while playing any game?
It just boggles the mind.
( besides AV & etc if your online )

Idk if i should laugh here at this point xD Smoke less, go to sleep. That's all i've got to say for you.

Dunno how anyone can stand running windows 7 on 2gb of ram in the first place. Anything below 4 is just... ugh.

It's tweaked to use ~650MB ram - so it works quite well on most apps/games I'm using. There were days it had 4GB running, but well... I would have to look for a compatible DDR2 module that doesn't cost the price of 6GB DDR3 ram. :)

[Seamus]

I know the feeling there. I've got an old pentium 4 laptop I'd like to put more ram in to use as something to run netflix on, but ram for it is more expensive than the DDR3 in this laptop.

You can't interchange DDR2 and DDR3, they are physically different.

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that DDR2 is more expensive than DDR3 these days because no one really makes it anymore.
