Make this game 64 bits

[Jake4159]

I keep crashing because the game can't handle all my ram ;)

Fix please.

And what exactly makes you believe that this causes your crashes?

some pc cant handle 32 bit games and my pc struggles and plus the game is limited to 4 gb memory and because of this the ram also linits its self to 4 gb memory to run the game

[Tajin]

that wasn't the question

I'm more interested in what kind of crash he's actually getting and why he thinks that 32bits are the cause for that.



I don't believe in making wild guesses and speculations without having proper information on what the actual problem is.

You game does not crash simply because you put more RAM into your PC.
It might crash if the accessible RAM is full though.

Yeah, 16bit ones ...

If you have old (32bit) games which do not run on your modern PC, it has nothing to do with them being 32bit, but rather them using instructions (be it OS, Graphics API or Interpreter ones) that are deprecated now.

Correlation vs. causation.

Holy Crap who makes a game 32bit thse days? I did not know it was 32

All operating systems run programs in virtual machines. When it encounters a 32 bit game, it simply creates a 32 bit virtual machine and it just works. The only proviso is that it needs the correct 32 bit libraries to support that 32 bit virtual machine. Open up the add-remove programs thingy in control panel. About half way down there will be a list of libraries, For each compatability level (2008, 2010, 2014, etc...) there should be two libraries, a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version, For each year, make sure you have only the latest library installed. Many older games will install older versions of these libraries, so if you notice a game installing an old runtime library, go in and prune out all the old versions.

The game pretty much crashes has the used ram by the game reaches 4gb in resource manager.

Also, 32 bits is seriously out of date, that's like early 2000's. Kerbal Space Program had the same issue a long while ago. Kept crashing because it reached ram limit.

What are you trying to do ? The game barely reaches the limit during normal playthrough.

So if you have some large save file, lots of vehicles spawned, etc. is important to denote.

The only "PC" that cannot handle 32bit app is actually a Mac, specifically MacOS Catalina.

If you have troubles launching 32bit apps on your PC then that's down to problems on your end of settings more so than missing compatibility between modern OS and older apps.
Also the userspace limit without LAA flag is 2GB.

The simple point is that 32 bits is very primitive for a game these days.

[Jake4159]

Windows xp was discontinued a long time ago and windows 7 has also been discontinued. No operating system is by nature 32 bits anymore.

[Arc]

The point is that you do not have a point. Win10 still has 32bit edition on top of that 64bit windows still do support 32bit apps.

Beyond that, what exactly is your issue with the game to warrant it being rewritten ?

Obviously this guy is trying to load a file that is far too big, or multiple large vehicles that then blows up the game memory. I have a 64 bit computer. It runs 32 bit games no problem. Stormworks has never crashed out on me.

Also, the naivete of someone saying "Windows xp was discontinued a long time ago and windows 7 has also been discontinued. No operating system is by nature 32 bits anymore." Is just absolutely hilarious to me.

[Jake4159]

Go to any game convention and try selling that a game runs in 32 bits. Imagine the answers and responses. None of the devs check these anyways.
