The development of DayZ continues to make progress. One of the most troublesome problems, the 32-bit limitation, could soon be a thing of the past. New game files indicate progress on a 64-bit version. But what does this mean for the players?
DayZ_x64.exe
This is the name of the new file that is dived in the Steam database for DayZ. The name alone reveals that this is the launch of a 64-bit version for DayZ, which is currently in the experimental stage.
But what does 64-bit bring the player? The biggest difference between the two versions is that a maximum working memory of 4 GB can be used with 32-bit. Thus, the game runs on significantly fewer resources than the current hardware can offer. With a 64-bit client, the entire working memory of your PC can be exploited and the game performance of the client side can be improved a lot.
Currently the 64-bit Launcher can be used for test purposes. However, the development seems to be proceeding, so we cannot wait to play DayZ with the full-featured processor. As always, you can help by reporting bugs under feedback.dayz.com.
