Adibas.6982 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I need to install 32 bit version. The way to do it before was to download 32bit installer. But now if you download it from official page after a system check it still installs 64. Since build 61.800 the 32-bit client will now automatically switch to the 64-bit client if the conditions appear favorable. Its not offering any options. Is there still a way to do this?

Nokomis.5076 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Question: why would you do this? 32-Bit can handle only so much of memory and considering the amount of people you see in the game and the textures of the world itself, you will most probably needs more than 3.2 GB of RAM for GW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulvar.1239 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Unlikely. 32 bits is considered a relic of the past now. 32 bits only allow 4 Gib of RAM for the whole computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkTinkPOOF.9201 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 As above, why? If it is swapping to 64bit, that means you have a 64bit CPU and a 64bit OS, so why would you want to install the older 32bit version of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 To prevent the 32-bit version of Gw2.exe from automatically switching to the 64-bit version, you have to use the -32 option. If you just want the 32-bit version of Gw2.exe, you can simply rename Gw2Setup.exe to Gw2.exe. To install the 32-bit version, rename Gw2Setup.exe to Gw2.exe and launch with the options: -allowinstall -32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
