64 bit ETS

[twix bar]

does ETS 2 64 bit version work on TMP? Also, is there any difference between 34 and 64 bit versions?

64 bit ETS2 and ATS are used as ATS is 64 bit only from release, so it made sense to convert TMP for ETS2 from 32 bit to 64 bit only, therefore eliminating some of the workload away from creating 3 different mods. This conversion was done in early February 2016 and there's an article somewhere in the news section explaining in a lot of depth

 

As for the 32/64 bit difference, there's not much that you will notice if you upgrade for the first time, but 64 bit makes use of more RAM if and when available, whereas 32 bit is limited to 4GB and no more (This I believe is due to legacy requirements from the likes of early Intel CPUs). For multiplayer, this extra RAM is useful for less lag within busy areas and roads, as more players can be displayed at a time, and just general improved performance when in game. Note that to run 64 bit applications, you require a 64 bit compatible CPU (This is extremely likely for most computers made after around 2008), and a 64 bit version of Windows

 

(That got very rambly, didn't it? )

Hi,

TMP launch Multiplayer only in 64 Bit not 32 Bit.

And I guess you mean 32 Bit instead 34 Bit

I don‘t know the diffrents between 64 Bit and 32 Bit

64 bit works with TMP too, there is not much of a difference between the 32 and the 64 version just the terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. (according to microsoft's side) But short story long you can find this too in the spoiler (https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/15056/windows-7-32-64-bit-faq)

A big difference between 32-bit processors and 64-bit processors is the number of calculations per second they can perform, which affects the speed at which they can complete tasks. 64-bit processors can come in dual core, quad core, six core, and eight core versions for home computing. Multiple cores allow for an increased number of calculations per second that can be performed, which can increase the processing power and help make a computer run faster. Software programs that require many calculations to function smoothly can operate faster and more efficiently on the multi-core 64-bit processors, for the most part.

 

Another big difference between 32-bit processors and 64-bit processors is the maximum amount of memory (RAM) that is supported. 32-bit computers support a maximum of 3-4GB of memory, whereas a 64-bit computer can support memory amounts over 4 GB. This feature is important for software programs used in graphic design, engineering, and video editing as these programs have to perform many calculations to render their images.

 

One thing to note is that 3D graphic programs and games do not benefit much, if at all, from switching to a 64-bit computer, unless the program is a 64-bit program. A 32-bit processor is adequate for any program written for a 32-bit processor. In the case of computer games, you'll get a lot more performance by upgrading the video card instead of getting a 64-bit processor.

 

In the end, 64-bit processors are becoming more and more commonplace in home computers. Most manufacturers build computers with 64-bit processors due to cheaper prices and because more users are now using 64-bit operating systems and programs. Computer parts retailers are offering fewer and fewer 32-bit processors and soon may not offer any at all.

Hey! TMP doesn't support 32 bit systems / Linux / Mac (?)!

YOU can play with 64
