There's an old 32 bit version available on Steam. It's no longer updated. I don't know how old it is. The game is 64 bit now.

Follow the instructions for subscribing to experimental if you want to try out the 32 bit version. But honestly, if you have a 32 bit version of Windows, you are looking at either installing a 64 bit version of Windowns or refunding the game.

NO I want the full game! but I cant because I cant just ♥♥♥♥ out a new computer with 64 Bit!

Moving to a 64bit system is a must nowadays if you want to play current titles, it can be done easily on a budget. The games requirements are on the games store page for a reason, do not expect support for running on a dated system etc.....
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows Vista SP2 or newer, 64-bit
Processor: Intel Haswell 2 cores / 4 threads @ 2.5Ghz or equivalent
Memory: 4 GB RAM

I have all of that! but JUST not 64 bit so it woul be much admired if they could just update the 32 bit please! :steamsad:

it's not gonna happen.

32 bits machines are obsolote with their 3.3 GB or RAM limit or so and not enough people use them for the devs to spend times catering to those dinosaurs.

"I have all of that! but JUST not 64 bit"....Just because you meet the other min requirments does not mean it will work, 2 choices, ask for a refund or update your system, do not expect support for a system that is running on a outdated OS. I guess you are still on 4gig of ram if you are on a 32bit OS, the os itself will use upto 1.5gigs of your ram leaving only 2.5 gig for the game, which is under the min requirements for the game aswel.

Newest Subnautica will not work on 32-bit CPUs because of RAM limit. You have choice: play 32-bit but outdated or move to 64-bit platform.

Maybe you should try and read up - Unless your computer is so old it wouldn't run the game in the first place (realistically), you can simply download a 64bit version and re-install.

Free and legally. It's the same license key. (Of course that won't solve your hardware limitations, such as RAM)

You likely won't need a new computer, just a new OS (i.e. 64 bit version of Windows).

I have only one 32-bit computer left, and that's an 8-year-old laptop that I run Debian on, and even there I run into issues where companies don't produce 32-bit versions of stuff any more.

Any desktop bought in the last decade is more than likely equipped with a 64-bit CPU.

Best to upgrade your system. You'll be thankful you did since pretty much every game out there is going the 64 bit direction, plus having Windows 7 or 10 is the highly needed.

You could most likely upgrade the computer at no cost. Your 32 bit license also includes the 64 bit version. The only issue would be your CPU, but you stated that you meet the minimum requirements with that. Installing a new OS is a pain though.

The devs already grappled with 32 bit vs. 64 bit. See this post:

There's never going to be a 32 bit version.

Thirty minutes and usually no need to re-install anything - Is that what constitutes a pain these days?

Depends on the computer and how much effort needs to go into reinstalling drivers and fixing up the BIOS.

From scratch? I think so.

Reinstalling Win 7 includes reinstalling appropriate 64 bit drivers, and setting up my desktop, coping over all my Document files, Downloads, etc, adjusting shortcuts, reinstalling my Steam games, Reinstalling all the other software I have on the computer, re-organizing the Start menu again, and since I'm on Win 7 that means an hour or so of downloading updates and installing them. Then even after that's done there setting file associations for VLC, Notepad++, setting up my custom hotkeys for FRAPS, copying over Firefox and Opera profiles so I don't lose them.

For Win 7 you cannot upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; you basically have to reinstall the OS and your programs. I admit I don't know if Win 8 or Win 10 is different and the OP didn't say which OS he or she had, but if it's 32 bit I'd assume it's an older one.
