On the Launcher. Click the little down arrow up near the top right (next to the x and -) and select Options. Then you can switch between 64 and 32 bit on the screen that pops up.Quote:

Now my wine launcher is freezing on "Installing Microsoft Visual C++...." :(Quote:

Yep me too, seriously thinking of throwing the towel in with this game now, its painful playing on a mac, so sad.Quote:

ETA: Switching back to 32-bit, inasmuch as it's clear I'm doing that with the weird options GUI on the launcher, didn't fix it. It seems determined to download 64-bit C++ no matter what.
yeah,TY for response,I am not computer literate when it comes to all this stuff , ( in my 60's :) ) but got help from forum that worked, all fine now, just don't understand why everyone was saying they could log in on 32 bit not 64, and when reply came back to me on how to change from 64 to 32, I was defaulted to 32, had to change to 64 (new) then all worked smh, but all good now, tyvm allQuote:

Any one figure a way around this by chance?
Glad you got it sorted. I'm in my 60s too, so understand about the confusing stuff. I just keep my fingers crossed a lot. :)Quote:

Sorry I'm not a tech person , 32 bit is fine , its just 64
This (nor any of the other work arounds) have worked for me. 32 bit launches fine, 64 bit flashes "getting in line to connect" after hitting play, then the launcher resets to Username/password. I submitted a ticket a couple days ago.Quote:

I was able to log in via x32 without problems (besides performance) and I read all of these wonderful things about x64
I re-launched with the x64 box checked and it instantly dropped me out of the queue and back into the login screen.
Windows didn't even suggest that anything tried to launch.
I tracked down the lotroclient64.exe and ran it to figure out which .DLLs I was missing.
Downloaded the missing .dll and then instead I got a generic "0xc000007b" crash.
Reset settings, rebooted, ran as admin, compatability for win7, downloaded the MS redistributable packages, and every combination of such, nothing worked.
Screw it, I'll just grit my teeth with the frame drops and loading times, thought I.
Checked x32 box again, and it instantly dropped me out of the queue and back into the login screen.
At the time of typing this, I am reinstalling the game since otherwise LotrO is genuinely unplayable owing to my attempt to try out the x64.
Anyone else still having this problem, or just little ol' me?

Same thing has happened to me since the latest update adding the Treebeard & Shadowfax servers. I already have the latest version of C++, too.Quote:
