Why is zero k only 32 bit?

1 @2plus2is5 I am generally wary of laymen suggesting highly technical improvements to performance. The players often assume that the benefits of something are greater than they are in reality and easier to implement. I have seen this in many uninformed discussions about multi-threading and apparently 32 bit is another example. I don't even claim to know that much about these areas, but I have done benchmarks over the years of what the engine implements. 1 @2plus2is5 I am generally wary of laymen suggesting highly technical improvements to performance.

3 There is ( or was) a mostly working windows 64 bit build for Spring. I think I made an old thread encouraging people to manually install and use it in general play. I stopped pursing it in recent months because I found bugs specific to the 64 bit windows builds and it was not the time to attempt to adopt a new build. The engine developers may take a closer look at the bugs if we express interest and do some further testing. 3 There is ( or was) a mostly working windows 64 bit build for Spring.
