[BUG] Multiplayer Access Violation

[sastrei]

Odd that they made the remaster 32 bit.

Re-building the entire game from the ground up as 64 bit would have been prohibitively difficult.

No reason to not do it right the first time

Oh yes, those Relic programmers in 2003 were certainly fools for not making their game 64 bit. I mean goodness, they would have only been a year ahead of the consumer debut of the 64-bit Pentium 4!

Considering I’m not even sure it’s on the same old engine and they likely already did rebuild it from ground zero

the hwrm engine IS the hw2 engine with modifications. I’d really like to know from where your assumptions that it’s rebuild from scratch come from.

[Dwarfinator (Snake_B5)]

I didn’t miss it. But your “I’m not even sure” and “they likely did rebuild from ground zero” where a little bit contradictory in the formulation.

Hwrm is only a remaster, not a new game. They wouldn’t have so much problems and complains with the “hw1 behavior is bad” side of it in the beginning if they had started it from scratch.

Hwrm is not perfect, but it was a risky move for Gbx to work on a game that hadn’t see any sign of life for 12 years. That was more or less the deal, work on the old engine and do what they can with it, or do nothing at all.

If we ever see a HW3 one day, I suppose/hope that it will be 64bits. Here it would have been overwhelming, already considering the mess that the old engine was.

And again, the issue is memory leaks, not ourpersonal opinions on how justifiable it is to recreate an old game using a 32 bit engine and if this is a 32 bit engine at all. Regardless of thefacts i will be continually surprised by the fact (if it is) of a 32 bitengine and you will be continually attempting to focus on it.

Game has memory leaks. My goal is to provide feedback and as much clientside information as is necessary and in my spare time postulate on possible causes

I think you’re reading to much in what we are saying. Your feedbacks are important. Memory leaks should not happen.
We were just explaining to you why it is a 32bits engine (due to it being a remaster and not a new game).

as a thought experiment that I can never prove nor disprove because I don’t care enough to cite any sources or read any sources others cite on the subject

and that’s a little bit sad that you don’t want to enlighten yourself on the subject. You’re surprised that it’s a 32bits engine (that I can perfectly understand, it’s normal considering the year we are in), but don’t want to know why and reject our explanations or the fact that the devs have explained it several times already. That’s a… strange train of thought to say the least.
