The sync client does not recognize "64 bit wow" running.

Hi Genttech and sorry for the late reply on that one. While generally speaking, 64bits support seems like an easy task, it is actually a daunting one... 64 Bits support is planned but not for an immediate future as there are many things we need to finish before we can tackle this challenge.

I would like to mention that from a technical point of view, wow 64bits is really bringing nothing on the table (for now), and from our understanding of the code, it has never been designed with 64bits in mind and WoW does not use that much memory to begin with...

I believe Blizzard released a 64bits more to validate they can deliver it for their future titles and used WoW as a test bench.

TY for the reply. FYI the primary benefit is framerate. Went from a 69 avg to a steady >100 except major boss fights! Average play non-issue anyway. But big help in HD for Raid Boss Fights. I now can keep everything at max resolution and "Ultra" setting, etc. With a newer machine, W7 Ultimate, it's a big boon for me. I'll keep up my 32bit launching for dailies, etc. to keep Magelo up to date. TY.

Hi Genttech,

Thanks for the feedback, interesting to read that it actually brings something to you... It's weird because the frame rate shouldnt be that affected by a 32 or 64 bits application since it's all hardware accelerated, meaning your cpu does not do much at all anyhow...

64bit deffenately improves both FPS and loading time..

And we need 64bit support for magelo, as we can't update our sigs..

You can still update your character even if we don't support yet the 64bits wow client.

Please check out the Technical support forum of the Battle net website regarding 64bits wow client.
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3988300405

In the introduction, there is the procedure that will allow you to switch between 64bits to 32bits client really easily, and you can follow it to sync your characters.

To switch back to the 32-bit client, go into Options -> Game Preferences, and check the Launch 32-bit client setting. The game will display which version you are using at the bottom left hand corner of the login screen."

Easy is NOT a label, I case to put on switching 32/64 bit:
  • Exit game
  • Start Magelo
  • Start Launcher
  • Switch to 32bit
  • Start game
  • Change screen-resolution up from 800x600 and change refresh-rate
  • Log into every toon I need to update, but wait up to 5 (but usually 1-2 is enough) minutes for Magelo to notice a new toon have been logged, before I log next.
  • Exit game
  • Close Magelo
  • Start Launcher
  • Switch to 64bit
  • Start game
  • Change resolution and refresh once more
  • Exit game


And yes, changing 32/64 resets resolution and refresh EVERY TIME, and if you log in, with 800x600, any UI objects placed outside this area gets moved, which means even more headache, next time you want to play.

If THIS is your definition of EASY, then I don't want to know what you call HARD...

This is the only solution available at the moment if you want to use Magelo Sync and I thought it will be helpful to indicate it.

Thanks for your detailed guide hierophant, I am sure it will be helpful to others players.

The 64-bits client is currently in testing by Blizzard. We will do our best to come up with a solution for it when it will be fully supported.

You still have the option to switch from a 64bits client to a 32bits client as explained above or you can use the update from the Armory instead of Magelo Sync to keep your character up to date.

The 64-bit client is still in testing for Blizzard so the situation is still the same hierophant.

64bit is no longer "in testing".. It's default now..

When will Magelo support it?

Hello hierophant.
The first step for us is to support the patch 5.0.4 and then we will work on supporting the 64-bit client.
I will keep you posted.

No worries, it will be back when Magelo Sync will be ready for MOP. Still working on it!
