64bit removed?!

[Extinction]

Dont tell me that 64 bit got scrapped. There was a 64 build a week ago and now its gone? That would be really really bad..

[esotericist]

It's coming back. Some of the older versions were broken by the mere existence of 64bit builds, so Tynan is working with steam to make sure we can have 64bit and still be able to use old versions if desired/needed.

Oh okay, thanks for clarifying. That is good news man, thanks!

Yeah, I was excited for 64bit, too, but there's a bug in steam apparently that causes it to try to copy some of the 64-bit stuff over old versions that have no 64-bit version (like beta 18 or earlier), completely breaking those older versions for people trying to continue runs or work with ancient mods or whatever.

Tynan cares even about the people who can't let go of the past.

FYI,

Anyone who purchased via the Ludeon website, the 64 bit download is now also one of the available downloads. So now when you go to the download page you'll see:

RwLinux
RwMac
RwWin(32bit)
RwWin(64bit)
Prototype Pack

Thanks for that!

It would only require a second front on the games tab, much the same way that many games show their test servers or VR versions of the game. He could have two Rimworlds one being 32bit and the other 64bit.

Liking this idea.

64 but is back. I’m pretty sure it only runs 64 bit, as there is only one launch option on my screen, in the Steam menu, and it launches 64 bit. On the start screen look at your version number in the upper left corner. Mine says 64 bit. Woot!!!

Apparently it is now set so that Steam serves the version you need for B19. So you will only have the appropriate exe for your system in the games folder. i.e. 32 bit OS get the 32 bit exe, 64 bit OS get the 64 bit exe.


**Not sure of this following paragraph**
This is still causing something kinda weird fol old version apparently (just by reading some threads, not sure if this is true for everyone), when launching you need to click play through the Steam library to make sure the game launches.
