Cannot get the game to launch in 64bit, at all

[Aau]

after updating windows (10), the game wouldnt launch in 64bit, and I am simply not prepaired to play in 32bit, I want the reshade etc etc. I have updated my graphics card drivers, updated directX...

Any suggestions?

Cheers

It doesn't. If you click on the "launch 32bit" option it will launch 32bit even with -64bit in the launch parameters.

You need to add -64bit to the launch options of the game.

2014 ... People in that very topic are asking about adding a launcher, hence the 64bit parameter was needed. Not anymore.

Another way.

With this you can start the Steam version of ETS2 directly without having to go through the Steam menu.
With Windows Explorer navigate to the following path: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ Euro Truck Simulator 2 \ bin \ win_x64 \ eurotrucks2.exe
(may be elsewhere, depending on where you have ETS2 installed.)

Then right-click on the file "eurotrucks2.exe" and then "send to" the desktop. This will give you a shortcut on the desktop. Click with right mouse button and on properties.

Under target is then e.g. Enter the following: "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ Euro Truck Simulator 2 \ bin \ win_x64 \ eurotrucks2.exe"
Then we hang a little behind it so it looks like: "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ Euro Truck Simulator 2 \ bin \ win_x64 \ eurotrucks2.exe" -nointro -64bit
This will then start the game z.b. in 64 bit mode (from 1.17) and without the start logo.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. To all the previous comments, yes I do know I can launch it in 64bit via steam etc

However it simply wont even load after trying to launch it, manually or steam.

When I do as INTRUDERVS140 suggests, I get an Error message saying : "The Code Execution cannot proceed because Steam_api64dll was not found."

As you can see, I have no idea what that is, and am not very technically minded or computer savvy.

Still, if you could offer any help, it would be much appreciated.

Here can you Download the steam_api64dll

i would try repairing first... library, ETS2, rightclick, properties, local data, scan for errors... see if that does anything, can take a few minutes...

when a "missing dll" message comes up, there´s usually a problem involved that is rarely solved by just downloading the dll. Speaks for a flawed install over all..

[Hypertext Eye]

Also never download a dll from some random website (even one that calls itself dllworld). You never know what you're really getting.
