Windows Xp 64 EQ2 Crafter possible fix in the near future? : EverQuest 2 Premium Discussions - Page 2

Actually I am getting this same error on my Windows 2000 system. Overflow error 6

I think it was.

Windows 2k
1.4 mem
120 gig HD
SP4

I have 2 accounts and 2 computers. My crafters run on my old computer. I have not tried to repeat this problem on my newer XP system.

In addition, when the crafter runs, it does not use all 3 buttons every tick.

any update?

My only solution for this is to dual boot. I had it "almost" work on my dual opteron 252 workstation with the new xp64 beta. Tried to run a 32bit shell but i think its either win64 isn't quite finished, and/or the way the 32bit to 64bit registers are handled and not fully compatible with XUnleashed.

Trying to figure out a compatibility mode myself.

any update on this matter? been waiting over a month for a fix for x64 users

I'd suggest not using x64. The benefits right now are negligible unless your XU machine is doubling as a server, and there are plenty of negatives. There's pretty much no consumer software (including games) that are written to take advantage of it, and it provides absolutely no benefit for 32-bit apps.

I'd rather see more plug-ins and scripts than having the program support business OSes like this, windows2003 server, etc.

Yeah perhaps you are right...32bit is here to stay, I just wonder how everyones supposed to move over to 64bit if the benefits are negligible for anyone else except ppl running servers and using mass amounts of ram. I guess people will be forced into 64 bit when microsoft releases longhorn and there is no other choice of the matter?

Exactly. When the mass market has an OS that supports 64-bit applications (Longhorn), people will start making 64-bit applications. Right now, so few people have a 64-bit OS that it's a waste of time to make software for it except in a few specific cases.
