Burgeoning Battle Gamma Clintone Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Any way I can reduce the graphics to play the game on a 32 bit computer? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 This is very unlikely without developer intervention -- even if the graphics are the only motivation for requiring a higher bit architecture, which is not a safe assumption. This has code-execution level impact. You might look into emulating a 64-bit environment instead. Not something I'd normally recommend, but the alternative is "your computer is older than you think" and as someone who tends to use the same machines forever, I know how frustrating it is to hear that.

Thanks. I actually have Windows 10...it's just that it's 32 bit, rather than 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The game will be out tomorrow so you can download and test out the Demo for free to see if it will run on your computer. From the game page's list of operating requirements it should run on your system since it works for older Windows versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had only checked the Steam download page, where it only mentions a 64 bit processor. The Spiderweb page recommends 64 bits, but says it can work with 32.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Sweet, that's good to know. I made the mistake of trusting the Steam requirements, too. 32-bit PCs mostly haven't shipped for a few years now, but Spiderweb usually manages to be further backward compatible than that. Glad to see that isn't changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt TriRodent Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Fwiw QW did not work on my (main computer) 32b machine. Thankfully my laptop is 64b and was able to test/play on there. After the initial 'why isn't this working' confusion, I never tried it again on my 32b machine so it 'might' have been downgraded in later beta builds/final product...but I wouldn't count on it. Grab the demo and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at the SW page and this is not what it says (now, anyway; not sure if it's changed). It recommends 64 MB of vram, with 32 MB required. And it requires 32-bit color depth. These are both different questions from processor bit architecture, which is not actually mentioned. Soooo.... who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo.... who knows. Here's where I looked just now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1058130/Queens_Wish_The_Conqueror/ Minimum: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Vista or Later Processor: 1.2 GHZ Memory: 250 MB RAM Graphics: 256 MB VRAM Storage: 400 MB available space Maybe I didn't look around on that website enough. That's where the steam link from the Spiderweb page sent me though. Nothing about 32 bit options there, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Yeah, that's the Steam page. The Spiderweb page doesn't say anything one way or the other, contrary to earlier reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I tried on a Windows 10 32-bit partition on my Mac and it wouldn't work, but some of the much older games don't work their either when I tried to install them and would install in 64-bit without compatibility needed.

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Clintone Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) it worked just fine on my windows 10 32 bit laptop, full graphics and all. Mine's an HP computer, by the way. Edited September 11, 2019 by Clintone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt TriRodent Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I just downloaded it to my W7pro32bit... no joy...sigh 64b laptop it stays apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
