Witcher 3 with 32bit (but 8go ram)

[Nico]

Hello, I see that Witcher 3 works only with 62bit because of the ram. I'm on 32bit but thanks to a patch I'm not limited (i've 8go). But the game still don't work, what is the solution ?
(sorry for my sybtax i'm not an nativ english)
Thanks

Never heard of patch of that sort, you are not using 8gb ram if you are not on 64bit Windows, period.

It doesn't work only on 64bit systems because of the ram, there are other reasons that I won't (or rather I'm not able to) explain
Getting windows 64bit is the only solution I know here

Lol, of course it's possible, google what "Address Windowing Extensions" is.
Of course, the application must be specifically programmed to use such tech, and I only know a few business apps which do that, games don't bother since 32-bit OSes are outdated.

there sint a simple fix for it, the game is using 64 bit adresses and so the 32 bit system cant run it.

Your ram is really not the problem, I have 4 gb and it still runs fabulously. 32 bit system is the problem, no workaround for that most likely

Yet before the patch, the ram restriction was notify, not anymore : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=853364config.png

Memory amount is not the problem, executables created for 64-bit systems are different and 32-bit OS can't run them at all.

OKay thanks for the explanation. For the "Microsoft Software Recovery" i need to do a formatting ?
(And the patch is "pae patch)

yes, you would need to format.

Question is, either:
- would a 32 bit system meet the minimum requirements listed on the store page? or
- does the store page specify if multicore processors are required as a minimum?

Your answer is no, but should you be able to run on one core, you'd likely have a very degraded experience and you'd have to support that on your own without the help of anybody.

It's not true you "need to format" to upgrade to 64, if you consider 64 an upgrade (point is you have no choice - whether it's an upgrade is debatable). It's EXTREMELY UNTRUE that multiple cores aren't supported on 32. It's also untrue that a 32bit OS and program cannot access "all of memory" (programs can run 64bit instructions on 32bit if they do their homework). Also video cards were 64bit long before OSes were - there are lies wrapped in lies above).

The point is: back up your files you may wish to format (but do not "have to"), and yes, they are forcing you to upgrade and No - most of the reasons above are total lies being fed as excuses for forcing upgrades.

You can download and use Windows 10 for free if you don't mind the activate windows prompt in the bottom of the screen. Plus you can get Windows keys from resellers for a reasonable price.

You could also just use your eye balls to see it is a 5 year old thread.
