BFBC2 not 64 bit process??

[Rambo]

Call me slow lol,but i only just noticed BC2 is only a 32 bit process.:hmm:

Arent consoles 64 bit?I wonder if one can force BC2 to be 64 bit?.

there may be a very small performance gain?

I suppose they did it becuase 64 bit players cant mix with 32 bit players online?

No, because you cant put a 64 bit program on a 32 bit OS. It has to have a 32bit mode or it wont install.

But mine is a 64bit OS and i never got a option on install.nor can i change it now.

so PC runs 32 bit and consoles run what? 64 or 32?

I would imagine BF3 would benafit from 64?

64 bit is not mainstream enough to put games on these days. I'd say in 2 or 3 more years it will become the norm. Too many people these days are still playing on win XP just because it's solid.... either that or they can't afford to upgrade their system to run Win 7 smoothly enough.... Who knows.

Not many games have native 64-bit executables.

I don't think XP is still being used because people are poor or because really that many people think XP is a better OS, especially for gaming.
They're lazy and scared to migrate to a new OS. So they create justification, however silly, to stay with an old 32-bit OS that has become mostly obsolete.

In anything but OpenGL games, my frames in XP and 7 for most games are about the same. Sometimes DX10 mode offers BETTER performance. There aren't too many real reasons to stick with XP over 7 these days...

Re: BFBC2 not 64 bit process??

I think you better plan on games starting now to be focusing on 64bit os.

Re: BFBC2 not 64 bit process??

Well maybe BF3 will be a 64bit program.

I know UT2k4 and Chronicles of Riddick both had 64-bit executables. I think Half-life 2 and Far Cry did, as well.

I know when you start up Crysis you can choose whether you want to run the 32 or 64 bit version. I dont understand why they cant do that and make everyone happy?

Re: BFBC2 not 64 bit process??

I run on 64 bit.

My old PC is 32 bit, it'll take another few years to get people off 32 bit.

I know some of my friends are still using Windows 2000 Pro.

You miss judge the reason for people staying with XP. There are many reason why people don't want to "upgrade" to windows 7. Many reasons range from not having the money to buy Windows 7 or a new computer for it, to not seeing a need to install a new OS when the one you have works perfectly fine for your needs.

I personally use XP as my main OS because every game right now runs faster on XP for me than Vista/7 32 and 64bit in DX9. Games that feature DX10 run even slower with barely a noticeable improvement in graphics quality and features to make it worth using. On my PC I play online games most, so high FPS beats out graphics quality every time. If I am playing a fast paced multiplayer game, I have no need for beastly graphics that bog down the system. For Single player games I will use Windows 7 if the DX10 features give me a significantly noticeable increase in graphics quality over DX9 on XP plus FPS is not as high a priority for me to enjoy the game. These are just some of my reason for not using Windows 7 as my main OS, and even though I use XP on a daily basis, I do have Windows 7 installed on my second OS only hard drive on my gaming computer. I also use Windows 7 on my HTPC because Windows 7 Media Center is so far the best DVR software I have used and has a pretty decent TV Guide that doesn't require any mucking around.
