Title: Freespace 64 bit
Post by: rubixcube on December 10, 2010, 12:32:44 am

I may be getting a new computer soon, and since it is windows 7, it will be 64 bit.
Just for clarification, are there are 64 bit builds? If so, where can I find them? Do I just use an SSE2 build?

There are no 64-bit builds for Windows (and no urgent need to create them), so just use SSE2 builds.

32-bit builds work fine on my 64-bit system.

I never had a problem with a 32 bit app/game on 64 bit windows. FS2 related projects included.

I'm running the same thing and haven't run into any issues either.

The question "Why?" comes to mind.

Well, the question has been answered, and several people reported they haven't had any problem with 32-bit builds on 64-bit system.

Of course, we can also let this thread die "naturally".

Threads around here only get locked if they've degraded into messy derailments and ad hominems.
