Mabinogi 64-bit Client Update
Hello Milletians!
In an upcoming maintenance, we will be implementing our 64-bit Client Update. We highly recommend that you update your Mabinogi game clients, but this does not require a full re-install of the game when upgrading to the 64-bit Client.
With the February update, Mabinogi's game client will be upgraded to 64-bit, enabling improved performance on modern systems and to help us support Mabinogi long into the future. As part of this update, Mabinogi will no longer be playable on 32-bit (x86) operating systems.
[h2]Why Upgrade to a 64-bit Game Client?[/h2]
Mabinogi on 32-bit was limited in its memory usage, depending on the needs of the operating system. With the change to 64-bit, it will allow the Mabinogi client to use more memory and improve client performance in various memory-intensive situations. It has been a recurring issue that any Mabinogi client exceeding more than 4GB of memory during normal gameplay would result in memory allocation failure, ultimately resulting in client crashes. In order to avoid such problems, the transition to 64-bit client may improve overall service quality.
While the 64-bit client will improve some client performance issues, please keep in mind that it will not resolve every issue you may have encountered previously.
[h2]How can I learn what Operating System I have?[/h2]
If you are unsure of what sort of operating system you have running on your PC, you can find out in the "About Your PC" System Setting page:
- Use the Windows key to bring up the Start Menu, and click on the Gear icon to open up the settings.
- Under "System" menu, select "About" at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Look under "System type", which will tell you which type of operating system and processor you have.
It should show one of three possible options:
- 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor: No changes required, your computer is already set-up and good to go!
- 32-bit operating system, x64-based processor: Your computer's operating system is still 32-bit, however your system's processor is able to support a 64-bit operating system. In order to play Mabinogi after the update, you will need to upgrade your operating system to a 64-bit version.
- 32-bit operating system, x86-based processor: Unfortunately, your computer is not able to support a 64-bit operating system, and will not be able to run Mabinogi after this update.
Finally, with the future update, Mabinogi's sound library will also be updated. The sound library (MSS) used in the existing 32-bit client will be replaced with FMOD. When it came to the previous sound library, it was difficult to provide a stable environment when loading high-quality sound sources or loading sound sources of multiple instruments at once. As a result, the addition of an updated sound library will further reinforce "sound", one of the indispensable facets of Mabinogi. We will continue to strive to provide audio content that will satisfy all Milletians in the future.
Thank you for your continued support and patience!
