Spring 64bit for windows?

[zmaster587]

will this ever happen?

questions 2:
is there a free win64 compiler?
if there is I'd like a link

Spring 32 bit works fine under 64 bit windows.
Spring doesnt use so much ram as to justify the work involved in making a 64 bit release.

The only compelling reasons at the moment I can think of are:

• Installing in program files rather than program files(x86)
• Compatibility with 64bit Java
• Possibly mapping, though I would have to appeal to someone with greater knowledge on the current state of the art (e.g. Beherith and Tobi)

As such, most of these are of no consequence to the playerbase at large and those developing for it.

Uh it does for certain maps :)

I have gotten lots of out of memory errors on the maps I like to play so I have stopped playing Spring RTS. I would start playing again if they had a 64-bit version that could address more memory and not error out!

Lol, what maps? I would like to hear this because as far as I know my map is the only one that craps out

SUP, 300+ fps.

I suspect it is a spring setting/your hardware problem. Please post the infolog.

haven't heard of RunningOutOfMemories since 91.0 with upped 3GB limit.

I actually played a 8v8 game on epic (40x40 iirc) a few months ago, and no one ran out of memory.

I guess eventually 32 bit apps will stop being well supported by OSs and everything will have to change, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Should you still disagree with the above posters, please research mingw64 cross compiling. See the lin Tobi posted further up
