This week we have added a new 64 bit version of Stormworks, so players with 64 bit processors can play the game in the most native form possible. This has been an overwhelmingly popular request, and we have continued to listen carefully to the communities vision for what is next with Stormworks. Steam will automatically decide which version to launch - 32bit or 64bit - depending on which version of Windows you are running. You will see text in the bottom left showing which version is in use. Note that the MacOS version of Stormworks has always been 64bit. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//28842908/6fd0af223abc5342f13345a38e39a79efbdc708a.jpg[/img] What Does This Mean? If you have 64bit Windows, Stormworks will now run as a 64bit application. This means Windows no longer has to convert the 32bit game code to 64bit code, which has a small overhead. The game may run 1% to 3% faster. The game also has access to the new instruction sets available on 64bit processors. Stormworks doesn't really have any use for these extra instructions so this will have limited impact.

This typically won't have an effect as Stormworks rarely uses above 2gb of memory. However, in some rare cases, perhaps when there is a lot of complex vehicles and structures in the scene (especially custom environment mods), this could potentially help. Because some values are now stored with 64bits of data, memory usage may increase around 10%.

The game will of course, be running in a more native form of your operating system, which many players consider more elegant and a cleaner way of doing things. Some players have also expressed concern that Microsoft could decide to withdraw support for 32bit software in the future, and we hope this new update addresses these concerns. Stormworks is around to stay! Much love <3, The Stormworks Developers Patch Notes v0.10.18 Feature - Added Windows 64bit version Fix - F11 vehicle editor now correctly exports wheels
