Heya,

  Have any of you here whom installed off the DVD's (instead of the early release download) that can let us know if the client is any different, having 64bit/dx10 support?

Leave me alone.

They never said it would have an optimized 64 bit client, they just said that it would work with a 64 bit processor.

Actually.. the back of the CE box says, very specifically:

 

Enhanced for Directx10 and multi-core

 

Woops, not 64 bit, my mistake.. but dx10/multi-core support.. anyone confirm that?

not yet, DX10 and multicore has not been enabled as of this moment. Probably for official launch day they will patch it in

Perfect.  I know a lot of people are wondering about this, if we should reinstall from the DVD's or not

How can you soar with eagles, when you work with turkeys.

The beta client had separate executables for 64 bit and Directx10.  Neither of which are currently being active.  So it wouldn't surprise me if you found them on the DVD's.  However, whether they're active or not come launch is a different matter.

Ah see, thats a lot more information right there than I've seen anywhere else about that.. thanks. (I assume you mean closed beta, as the open beta, as well as the EA client,  have no such thing)

In the interest of completeness, I checked with the developer from the video and he said.

"We have 64-bit support using 32-bit binaries, but no native 64-bit binaries."

Apologies for any confusion or if I misspoke.
