Do you have 64-Bit Windows or 32-Bit? The reason I ask is that the game needs 64-Bit. I have heard of other games where the requirement is 64-Bit and people have bought a game without realising, and the same thing happens where they only get a few hundred MB as the download.

Don't worry about that, just upgrade to 64-bit.

You will not lose any games from your steam library with a re-format, or Win 64bit install. If you do an upgrade to 64bit you will still have your games installed and playable.
As for Verifying game cache:
Go to the Mad Max tag in your game library (Left hand menu list) and Right click on it.
Go to properties, then click on "Local files" then click on "verify integrity of game cache" and it will complete a check for you.

You need to upgrade to 64-bit, that is the only way to get the game working.

You dont update from 32- to 64-bit, you upgrade to it.
Means you buy a 64-bit system,because they are different systems.

Almost every PC built in the last 5 years apart from the cheapest ones will run 64bit, the change to 64bit requires you to re-install windows from scratch using an x64 Windows disk.

If your PC meets the "minimum requirements" for Mad Max it will run 64bit, if it doesn't you're wasting your time because the game won't work.

If you have 'Windows' disks that came with your PC or you have bought, the one marked 'x86' is 32bit and 'x64' is the 64 bit disk.

If you have the PC manufacturers 'recovery' disks that came with your PC or disks/usb made from a recovery partition on the PC, pretty much all of them install an 'image' so there will normally be no option to change from 32 to 64 bit.

Regardless of the installation type, the change from x86 to x64 requires you to do a fresh installation of windows not an 'upgrade', so back up your games and anything else you want to keep.

EDIT: Any game you own on Steam can be installed as many times as you like but you need to backup the save game files each time.

^ Yes, quite so.
I was thinking alot of 32-bit systems (older ones) can only go up to 4Gigs of ram.
