64 bit Client parameter
How do I force to start the x64 Client, its always starting the 32bit Client for some reason. Is there a start Parameter to force it ?

As far as I am aware there is no 32 bit client anymore, as it is no longer supported by WoWs. So it should only be starting into the 64 bit client.

How much RAM do you have? 32-bit .exe is launched if you have below 6 Gbs of RAM, it's chosen automatically and AFAIK no way to adjust it in Steam version. In WGC you can just launch desired .exe manually.

But it's not recommended because 64-bit version might cause PC to run out of RAM which leads to crashes. For stability on low RAM PC it's better to use 32-bit version.

No, there's only no support for 32-bit Windows. So you need to have 64-bit CPU, 64-bit OS, but the exe is chosen based on total PC RAM.

Ah, my bad, I assumed because of lack of 32bit Windows they did away with the client. I'm gonna to leave support threads to you I think.

Don't sweat about it, it's indeed complicated x)
For serious problems you can always remind users about Player Support website, but this is not the case, frankly i don't see the point why 64 vs 32 bits should matter in this case.
6 Gbs of RAM is too little nowadays.

BUT if the RAM size detection is not working correctly — then it's something to check.

Got 16Gb Ram, 64bit Win 10, Ryzen 3600, x570 board. I can "force" it by Copy files from 64bit folder to 32bit folder and it will launch 64bit fine. But it always launches 32bit after every update which is very annoying.
