Twinson Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Hi technical guys, since the "new" version is no longer running under 32-bit systems, some or at least those whichout a more recent hardware, cannot play the game any longer. I have still the same hardware setup since I have played Battleforge last time, but why is it now no longer compatible? I there any work-around or plan to make it 32-bit compatible again?

MephistoRoss Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 32bit doesnt work because the Skylords Reborn Updater/launcher requires 64bit. There is no work-around and I am not sure if there are plans to release a 32bit version, it is definitely not a priority atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinson Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Do you know how many people are using a 32-bit system, e.g. based on Forum stats? I am currently downloading the full rare package and hope that only the updater is 64-bit and not the exe of the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MephistoRoss Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 No, we dont know about many people exactly are using 32-bit systems, but I personally doubt it are many. Just got word from a developer that it should be possible to make a 32-bit launcher though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinson Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Good to read about it, thanks for following up on this! I would love to read this item in the dev post on the open items list ;-) I believe (and hope) this is a kind of low hanging fruit for fixing. Furthermore, this seems to be a simple way to get some (even not knowing how many) further people on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinson Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 I have meanwhile tried to launch the game after full download (instead of updater only), but without success with a 32-bit system :-/ Would it help if I manipulate the 32-bit system in such a way? "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072 " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072 " Not really. 32 bit systems have been outdated and deprecated for a really long time now and even the most low-end budget CPUs are 64 bit. There's no getting around it and you can't really "manipulate" anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinson Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ok thanks for your input. Than I keep my fingeres crossed that DEVs will allow me in future to continue playing and supporting this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilian Dermoth Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Which hardware do you have? Maybe its just the operating system which is 32 bit while your hardware is already 64 bit, because 64 bit cpus are way older than battleforge. But theoretically it would be possible to run 64 bit software on a 32 bit system => emulation, but believe me you dont want to take this path.
