Hi folks,

as Ubuntu will drop the 32bit libraries starting with 19.10 it could cause problems with the native old 64bit builds. Does this also affect the AppImage-builds provided? Do they use 32bit libraries to run?

Steam drops Ubuntu recommendation for that reason:

Our AppImage builds are native 64-bit builds so it shouldn't be a problem if they drop the 32-bit support. The old 32-bit builds will probably stop working but then people could still compile 64-bit builds manually...

I mean the 32bit libraries necessary to build and run 64bit:

There is no hard dependency on any 32-bit libraries in the 64-bit builds but the old nightly and release builds were 32-bit so those still required the 32-bit libraries. The current release and nightly builds should have absolutely no dependency on 32-bit libraries.

Ok, Thanks
