BigRed0427 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I currently use a 64 bit Windows 7 OS and want to start playing these games again. I know the games themselves run on 64 bit by themselves but the ERM program does not. I have every intention of paying for these games but I am wondering if it is possible to run GDS games on a 64 bit OS. Either by changing settings on the game or on the system itself.

I have 64-bit Windows 7 and I'm playing TEW 2010 right now. You can run most 32-bit programs on a 64-bit system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't suppose you'd be able to say if there's a significant boost in speed as opposed to 32bit, regarding TEW on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I upgraded my computer as well as my operating system recently and it doesn't seem like either has made days advance any quicker. Perhaps I'm just unable to perceive a change. If anything, when looking at workers and some other screens, occasionally there's a small delay when opening and closing menus that I didn't have on 32-bit. It's barely noticeable, but it's worth mentioning. As long as you run the game in administrator mode, it works just fine. WMMA3 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweej Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi, i'm wanting to purchase WMMA3 after enjoying WMMA2 but i now run Win7 64 bit and had heard of issues with e-license... Is this an issue still or has it been solved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If fine if it's a machine that was 64 bit to begin with, but there can be issues in some cases if you've upgraded an older machine to become 64 bit. There's no real way to know without trying in the latter case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Vibert Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 There were earlier reports of issues, but I haven't had any reports that we couldn't resolve in quite some time, lately with these symptoms it usually turns out to be a firewall or anti-virus program that is blocking the game from launching.

BlueBomberDude Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 FWIW I'm running WMMA3 on a 64bit Windows7 machine with absolutely no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCK604 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Well, I upgraded my computer as well as my operating system recently and it doesn't seem like either has made days advance any quicker.

It's barely noticeable, but it's worth mentioning. As long as you run the game in administrator mode, it works just fine. WMMA3 as well. Well then there must be a problem with my computer because running 64 bit Windows 7 I get a 7 second delay just opening the roster screen (even in admin mode) and a 4 second delay going to the control room. Just about every screen and window has a 4-8 second delay for me. This is really strange since I never had this problem on a 32 bit Windows XP, but now my new quadcore computer with 4gb of DDR3 can't manage to get through this text based simulator. I seriously want to buy TEW2010, but these annoying lags are forcing me to reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
