    I was gonna come here and ask the question which that article is the answer to (any other advantages to 64bit or just the memory thing?)
    It is all good news though, I guess it is no quick task to make the switch so it is one more bug hurdle out of the way before they can start improving and adding new features and generally improving the user experience. I am very curious about changes to the matchmaker, bringing it closer to functionality of rF1 would be very nice.

    I think that's the reason also why I interpreted his reply to yours in a different way. It is funny how we all misunderstood the others :)

    It's like unclogging a drain pipe on the system as a whole. It seriously could only take a Windows background program waking up while you're right at the limits of your RAM usage to tip you over the edge. It also gives us many more internal CPU registers and additional CPU instructions for more efficient code. It's very win-win-win. I'm just hoping the 32bit gains don't get overlooked as well.

    dont understand the logic in saying dont release the 64 bit exe till its been tried and tested, its not as if its going to be burnt onto a dvd boxed and sold, its going to be released online to us, so please forgive my ignorance, but i think being tested by thousands of hard core players must be more of an advantage than a handful of ISI staff or am i missing something, because if i am, how come the 32bit fr2 was released in the state it was

    Hello
    Well according to Jeremy's tweets.
    If everything goes right I repeat if everything goes right. There will be a unstable release next week for anyone to try and test on there own.
    Unstable builds come with no guarantee from isi .

    in this modern day of build testing i think its the fastest way to progress, as for a guarantee, we already have our 32 bit exe to fall back on

    Here's the thing - we are not ISI beta testers, we are the end customers. How many people have rF2 and don't know about this forum? Some people may be willing to gamble on a non-proper version of the game but I for one don't wish to have something non-functional.

    If it's not working properly or been tested properly they should not release it IMO. We had some sketchy online netcode problems for awhile and now look at how many people are still saying "rFactor2 netcode sux". Simracers love to hate ISI, no need to give them more fuel for their hate filled fire.

    In other words, just let ISI do their thing. :)

    well yes we all have opinions, and i suppose in one way your right, but what does tested properly mean, a perfect game, or just a game that doesn`t crash, something as complex as rf2 does need thousands and thousands of testing hours, game makers have been using punters to test games for a while now, it is in my opinion the most complete way, but again just my opinion

    It's not just ISI guy! I see hatred towards all of the racing sims! Sometimes makes me wonder what percentage of sim racers just have bad attitudes. lol

    It is the way they work.... internal testing, then they move a build to unstable testing (which you are free to test and give feedback), then a stable release for the rest who prefer a build that is stable.

    Software development is a complex thing... which is why I don't do it :D
