Hmmmm, thats well shitty. I was under the impression VAC2 worked on 64bit as
it was just loading VAC :(
I dont really feel like switching back to 32bit :/

VAC2 and AMD64 don't work together, you can run VAC "1", unless I missed
something.

They are still releasing updates for AMD64bit amxmodx. Also VAC2 seems to
work on my server?

Valve,
We have been running Opteron servers since September 2003, I do believe
we
were the first to have free to play ones in the world
(http://www.jolt.co.uk/index.php?articleid=329). I have seen support
for
64
bit reduce over the years to the state where I have been running them
in
32
bit for what seems like an eternity just so we can have VAC2 running. I
know
it's no replacement for a good admin team but it sure helps, the slots
we
can run are nowhere near the capabilities of the cpus.
Even amxmodx have stopped supporting it, to quote the amxx site:
"AMD64 Support - One of AMX Mod X's biggest contributions was a 64bit
port
of the Pawn/Small compiler and virtual machine. In fact, AMX Mod X was
the
first Metamod plugin to achieve AMD64 compatibility. AMX Mod does not
run in
64bit mode.
However, Valve has stopped maintaining their AMD64 support -- the
latest
AMD64 engine is missing client cvar querying and VAC2. Furthermore, the
JIT
is not available on AMD64, meaning a great deal of potential speed is
lost.
Running HLDS on AMD64 in 64bit mode is unadvised except for
debugging/developer purposes."
To say it will be ready when its ready is starting to sound old hat,
coming
up to 3 years and AMD64 support has disappeared.
The future is 64 bit, can we have a definitive answer on what is the
future
in Valves eyes without the fob off of "it will be ready when it's
ready"
Regards,
Knuts
