I don't believe it's possible for anyone to be using a 32-bit OS X and have played the game. o-o That would be a ten year old Mac.
You'd be surprised what people try to play on. Lol.Quote:

We don't plan on eliminating support as this poll is just an informal method to gauge our community.Quote:

ok Silvonis. thats reassuring thanks :) i was afraid for a moment there
Windows 8.1, after this last patch:
I log in and I can hear the fire in Fainors kitchen/Tavern. But the game shuts down before I can materialize in game.
Do you not have access to this info based on how Players login to PG?
I voted Linux even though I'm currently (temporarily) running Windows
Linux Mint 18.x 64bits Xfce
Intel Core i5 4590 (4 x 3,3 GHz)
MSI GeForce GTX 960 @ 2 Go
Drivers NVIDIA 375
8 Go DIMM DDR3 PC12800
Screen LED 1920x1080
French system with a bépo keyboard
I'm honestly surprised how close Mac and Linux are, I expected Linux to be higher up.
Linux is a ton more work than Mac, it rarely shows up higher except in headless launch-and-forget situations.Quote:

I have four laptops ...
Gentoo Linux + Windows 7 (4 hard drives).
Gentoo Linux + Windows 7 (2 hard drives).
Fedora Core 26 (x2)
My laptops vary in power. Three of my laptops are 5+ years old, one is about nine months old.
I run linux unless I want to play a windows-specfic game that doesn't run under Wine. More and more I'm just forgoing playing games that won't run (one way or another) on Linux.
I came to PG in part because I heard there were early unofficial Linux builds.

I hate mac the only thing apple makes that works good is iphones and ipods
Also fun fact of the day Steve jobs stole the name iPhone from Cisco and only paid a fine and still is using it also the macs entire programming is taken from a bunch of freeware and was combined together to make the macs core programming which in turn was stolen from other programmers who didn't copyright it but made their works free for public use to be nice and contribute to societies learning and help teach people about programming or just make things easier for people all together but got screwed over I never will respect a company who does that nor support them
Ps: Sorry for the rant I hate apple nobody does enough research on the darker kinds of crap that happens under the table that makes these kinds of people successfull and rich of others work
I use Linux 64, game runs better than on Win 7 64.
