    Hi,

    Is there a specific reason to keep the 32bit binaries in the client?
    I am pretty sure that SotA will never run on a 32bit machine? Taken its big memory usage?

    Whenever I try the 32bit binary it always crashes with memory problem log entries

    32bit binaries cause a warning popup on the current version of macOS. The next release will not allow them to run at all.

    The limit of addressable memory for a 32-bit system is 4GB's. That's below the minimum required to even run the game. Not to mention the fact that if you have a 1GB video card in your system you would only be left with 3GB's of addressable system RAM.

    It's worse than that because some amount of space must be reserved for the system. This is typically 1 or 2 GB, leaving you with only 3 or 2 GB of usable address space.
