Where is the 32 Bit release?
« on: January 03, 2018, 09:27:26 pm »
The only dl link i can find for the latest version is the 64 bit version

http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=5315

I thought there was a 32 bit version as well?

Go to http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ as a start, obviously. A little less than half way down the page, dated at "06/28/2016" is a post titled "We've posted the new development page with artifacts and myths." This has the link for a 32-bit test download. If you STILL can't find the download after these instructions, then the link is right here:
 http://bay12games.com/dwarves/redist/df_sdl_32_wintest.zip

NOTE: This is the base Dwarf Fortress game, and not Masterwork DF. MDF has NOT been updated to 32-bit or 64-bit as far as I can tell since the recent return of Meph. Since the game is not needed to be in these formats, I doubt that Meph will waste time formatting his own mods to match since more people use the 16-bit version.

Is there any actual diffirence between 32 and 64 bit "versions"? I not tested much, but " 64bit versions" appear to work just fine. Something to do with DFhack? If yes, what exactly?

The helicopter is rent apart by the collision, its steel unable to resist its inevitable reunion with the ground, and the meat within is smashed by the crumpling cockpit beyond any practical hope of recovery. What comes up, must come down again. Ore and ape, returned to mother planet's embrace.

My bad. When i put that note i was at work and failed to see the updates for 64-bit. Plus the only difference is graphical, better graphics for the same game. Only low end cpus will see a difference since it's 2x and 4x the pixels to keep up with than normal.

I actually meant, why it's impossible to just put 64 bit mod on 32 bit DF?

The graphical difference is accidental to the real benefit: More memory, ergo larger embarks (anything above a certain area crashes in 32 bit,) older worlds, etc...

Yea but lower end cpus will crash on larger embarks as well. Like I can't embark higher that a 5x5 are with a serious drop of FPS.
