Support for 64 Bit Wow

[Cochise]

Hello,

Do you guys know when you are going to support 64 Bit?


Thanks

we have no plans about it

Will the new Battle.net client be required to run WoW once it's pushed into a live version? I've seen people say that it defaults to 64-bit if your OS supports it. If there is no option to run a 32-bit client, would this require people to purchase a second computer to run 32-bit WoW and utilize HB? If so, will we be required to run VMware or something similar?

Of course, if there is an option to run the 32-bit client, this concern is nil.

Thoughts?

u can launch the game by starting wow.exe instead of using the Battle.net desktop app

Crisis averted then.

Note: this is in this forum until I (or we) can flesh this post out to be more useful to people asking the same questions over and over again.

All of our bots require .NET 4.0 and the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.

They all support either DirectX 9, or DirectX 11. (If a game only runs on OpenGL or similar, we will support that, however, DirectX will only be supported if a game provides it)

They also require an open internet connection at all times (this is obvious, as we really only create bots for always-online games anyway).

We will not create an x86 (32 bit) and x64 (64 bit) bot for any game. We will only choose one and continue with it. (That means; don't ask us to create an x64 supported bot for any game. If it supports x86, we will create the bot for that architecture, and that architecture only.) This is simply due to maintenance concerns and the fact that any x64 OS can run an x86 program, but not vice versa. (Nobody loses) The minor gains in performance and the like from an x64 game client is negligible at best, and has no impact on botting in general.

Coming straight from a dev as to why it will never happen.
