    I don’t play TF2, but I thought basically all hl2 -family games were updated to 64bit ages ago… apparently this wasn’t the case :o

    Any of the other games running the same engine still in 32bit land?

      Portal and Portal 2 are still 32 bit. Newer mods based on Strata are 64 bit.

      pretty sure anything other than gmod (and strata games) is still 32bit, even with the vulkan renderer support

      It came out in 2007… And iirc the steam client is still 32bit? Games were slow to adopt 64 bit.

        Guild Wars 2 came out in 2012 as 32 bit and kind of sucked with big groups and felt like a completely new game when they released 64 bit client in 2016.

    Doesn’t look like they bothered to update their macOS client to 64bit. Currently the game is unplayable on new versions of macOS.

      For me it is actually huge. I went from 90-120 FPS to nearly 300. I must be some outlier though. I also haven’t played a while so old numbers are based on memory and likely on different kernel, drivers and more. I also don’t recall if I was using Vulkan before while the new build asked me if I wanted to use Vulkan (and I switched).

        Well, if you’re running 32 bit, is gaming your priority here?

          Maybe?

          Lots of older games never get updated to 64-bit.

          Besides the only operating system to not support 32bit code anymore is macOS, which even Valve treats as not worth bothering with anymore.

      Valve still makes money off TF2 through passive financialization in the game’s cosmetic/sidegrade microtransactions. Having a snappy feel to an old game is important. I would rightfully expect a game from 2007 to have perfect performance even if I have other stuff open.

      It wouldn’t launch at all on rolling distros, bundled OpenGL translator was much weaker than DXVK

        It is one of the most played games on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed (make sure to sort by daily players, TF2’s regional/timezone distribution is different from other games)

    Aw fuck, time for youtube to force that shitty game into my sub feed again. For fuck sake just die already.

    EDIT: Come on you all know that’s true, the gameplay sucks and the skin economy is basically just NFTs. You cannot in good faith say you genuinely enjoy the game so much as trapped within it because the community is a fucking cult, one which is forced onto you by every platform at every moment after your escape.

      Uhhm… then don’t watch them? Surely these are not the only kind of videos that youtube recommends that you don’t want to see.

      Lastly, you seem angry, is everything OK?
