How to change to 32-bit version of ETS2?
How do you change from the 64-bit version of ETS2 to the 32 bit version? On my 32-bit Windows Vista PC, it says "You Need A 64-Bit PC" but I know that there is a 32-bit version of this game.

Dude they have upgraded the graffic engine, yes the game is from 2012 but much has changed since then. That is why they reccomand you use the 64 bit engine, the 32 bit is simply rubbish with todays graffic engine trust me. My tip is get yourself Win 8 8.1 or Win 10, then you can play it in 64 bit. I mean we are in 2017 man nobody shoud use Windows wista or older today.

The game should start by default with the 32bit.exe if only that works...otherwise try the start options directly trough the steam client.
If you per chance are talking about the mp mod...that only runs in x64

That's wrong, from one end to the other.

The engine is still the same old Dx9 engine that has barely changed since 2010, for 32bits and 64bits. Small improvements here and there but nothing requiering to ditch now the older ATI HD6850 and nVidia 680.

For the time being, 64bits is not required at all (ATS or ETS2) for anyone only using the base game (no mods). Even then, SCS said they were only now reaching the limit of 32bits. ATS is on the verge to be 64bits only but the 32bits is still there as a courtesy. ETS2 has so much more player that it will keep the 32bits for a very long time.

Beside, as Wolfship said, the OS is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because Op launched the 64bits exe on a 32bits OS, not because the game requiere 64bits.
