The clients as well.
Daybreak Game Company announced yesterday that EverQuest’s 64-bit servers and clients are right around the corner. Next week in fact. Players can get their hands on updated clients as of February 15, following about nine hours of downtime. Plus any unforeseen technical issues.
64-bit servers and clients are going live next week on February 15, 2022! We’re planning on starting the update at 6:00 a.m. PST*. Downtime is expected to last approximately 8 hours. Please be sure to check out the article for the details and then prepare your systems if they need it.
The immediate benefit of 64-bit clients will be a decrease in instances of game crashing due to low memory as well as improved performance overall as the game can have more active data loaded in. Unfortunately for players on older systems, the introduction of 64-bit clients does mean that 32-bit clients will no longer be supported.
