>The Steam client is now 64-bit on Windows 10 & 11.Why?Just bigger number better? Just a large volume of work for no reason, as Steam would never need to access more memory in that way?When was the last time Steam added a new feature that improved it and you liked?I don't use animated stickers, or badges in chat, or broadcasting, or any of that. Last feature Steam added that I use is Mods Collections.

>>728945472>When was the last time Steam added a new feature that improved it and you liked? Probably game recording like a year or 2 back.
64 bit is just straight up better than 32 bit except people with 32bit OS can't run it. But 32 bit os isn't that common these days so fuck em. It's like helldivers bloating their game by 400% because 15% of players still dont have an ssd.
>>728945472The only features I actually like and use in Steam are being able to purchase, download and update games. I honestly don't understand why I must have all the rest of the social features and everything too.
>>728947568Because Valve doesn't cater to you at the expense of the majority.
>>728945472>Just bigger number better?64bit consumer CPUs exist since 2003.
>>728950484>PC just copies Nintendo 64 7 years laterPathetic.
>>728945472>Why?Because Windows has dropped 32-bit support itself, tech illiterate-kun.
Steam's interface is a compact Chrome distribution and they're just following suit with what google pushesmorons
>>728950693The 32-bit client still hooked the 64-bit CEF, but MS APIs are starting to dump 32-bit application support as new features get added or fixes get implemented.
>>728945472does 32bit win10 even exist? 64bit application uses like 2 megabytes more memory than 32bit without other changes btw, i swear tech illiterate zoomers just have to cry about everything like apparently just now discovering that you are buying a license when you buy from steam. a lost generation
>>728950576The N64 didn't even really use 64 bit processing, it was mostly a waste of money and a gimmick on Nintendo's part. The next Nintendo console to even have a 64 bit CPU was the Switch
>>728945472Fuck off Tim
>>728945472because maintaining 32 bit compatibility gets increasingly more difficult as time goes on.
>>728946837No it isn't. The only reason to make it 64-bit is because they know it's so bloated it will take up more than 4GB of memory going forward.
>>728945472Why do you feel the need to cry and shit your pants anytime Steam does anything? Do you really think you're going to convince anyone to stop using it by doing this?
>>728946837>It's like helldivers bloating their game by 400% because 15% of players still dont have an ssd.Important distinction: because they *assumed* bloating their game by 400% would have an impact for the 15% of players who still didn't have an SSD. It's even worse because there wasn't even a real effect in practice.
no wonder the steam client felt smooth today
>>728951018Yeah. 11 is the first one that doesn't have a 32-bit version.
>>728945472>the anti-Steam brigade is getting so autistic they're now whining about an objective improvement
>>728945472I'm certain OP is the same person behind >>728797486.This is the most amount of thread spam I've seen against Steam ever since Tim made EGS and paid people to shit on Steam.
>>728951026>6th gen>PS2 is the only 64-bit console of that generation>it's the weakest
>>72895120364-bit updates aren't just for increasing RAM usage capability, 64-bit programs on 64-bit machines run faster than 32-bit programsTF2's 64-bit update improved performance by up to 30%
Do I have to move my Steam folder from Program Files x86 to Program Files? Or will Steam do it automatically with the update?
>>728952208It's not by nature of "64-bit is faster." It's the fact that 64-bit allows the engine to stretch its legs on more powerful machines.>>728952349>folderYou must be over 50 to post here.
>>728952349the folder doesn't actually mean anything, like most windows smoke and mirrorsyou can now act superior against fresh installs in the "new" location
