TBH, I find recent 32 bit builds perform on a rough par with the discontinued 64 bit builds from yester-year. YMMV. > On top of that, 64bit technology is one of the key feature in our game > server rental solutions. > So, downgrading to 32bit is not an option... :-( Tell your customers they have two options: an extremely out of date 64bit service, or an up to date 32 bit. Point out that the background services on your box are all running 64 bit builds which helps with performance overall, but that valve have higher priorities than 64 bit binaries for their games. You can't force them to release binaries that they don't want to, or don't have the time to. Although I do find it curious as to why the unmodified straight rebuilds for 64bit platform, which they initially reported having such amazing results, can't be released simultaneously. > Why did Valve give up support/maintenance to 64bit version? Too-hard basket? Better things to devote dev time to? They enjoy raging GSPs and the hlds_linux list once or twice a month when this topic comes up? Bribery from Intel to stay 32bit? :-) Who knows? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
