64 bit option not displaying in Options.

64 bit option not displaying in Options.

Where are you looking ?? It is on the Options menu on the launcher - for me at least.

If you dont know where that is, click the little triangle next to the Language setting box at the top of the launcher.

If launching from desktop icon :-

Right click on icon and choose properties
Under shortcut tab

change target text make sure the .exe is LotroLauncher.exe mine was TurbineLauncher.exe which worked but without the 64 bit option
Apply this and relaunch

Option will be available now

Good tip! That worked.

[Axil]

Thank You - worked for me also

I have a different problem. I choose 64 bit option, enter PW, choose server, hit "play" and then nothing happens...

Anyone else have this? Are there some prerequisities to be met in order to run 64 bit client?

[Roland_Deschain]

I don't see the 64-bit option for the Mac wine version.

[Occum]

Seems to work OK for me, but I lost the ability to choose my 5.1 sound app, Rapture, when in 64-bit mode. Back to front speakers only....

Same for me...NOTHING happens and program just ends when I hit enter world.

After selecting the 64 bit option from the launcher and then logging in, the mouse pointer has vanished and so I'm unable to click the login button from the character selection screen.

Bump!

Can a blue name respond to this? It seems there are many people in game that have the same problem.

Game is not launching with 64bit client after hitting "play". Nothing happens.

Here are a couple of things that may help:

Firstly, please note that if you run into any issues running the 64 bit client, please try switching back to the 32 bit client for now and see if that works.

NOTE: The game client must be updated to Update 24 for the 64 bit client to be available in Settings, which can be located by pressing the drop-down arrow in the launcher.

This sounds like a DirectX issue. It may be worth running the DirectX End User Runtime Installer here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...s.aspx?id=8109

Hmm, unsure on this one, sorry.

I play the Mac version. Not only do I have no 64-bit option, but as the client loads, it quits with a message "You do not have the current version of the client." I patched all morning - what am I missing?

@Calback, you have to download the wine version to run U 24 on the Mac. Note, this is a 27.8 GB download.

Since when? Last night my Mac version worked fine. Did SS decide to say "screw Mac users?"

[Starberry]

Have done all that has been suggested, launcher still disappears after hitting play. No game ever loads. Windows 8.1 here, not Mac also using the correct launcher as well as having 64 bit checked in the drop down.

[Rielthiere]

for Windows users: make sure you're launching LotroLauncher.exe

i was running off the old TurbineLauncher, which ran the patch ok but wasn't showing the 64bit option for me - making sure i was using the correct launcher fixed it

they announced the new mac client at least a month ago, and said with it it would be the way forward rather than the native mac client, because they don't have a dedicated mac development team and the wine client allows them to port across windows fixes a bit more directly

somewhat off topic....

does the 64 bit client support current plug-ins, for example, ReShade?

This plug-in, and it's predecessor, really beautified the graphic experience of this game for me. Is it even necessary with the new client?

I was pleasantly surprised to see all my LoTRO plugins working (Palantir, Buffars etcc.) since last I heard they were not working. I don't have Reshade injected, but I see no reason it shouldn't work, after all no game actually supports Reshade, it's a foreign injector.

You would have to re-inject it into the 64-bit client though. Your current 32-bit injection won't work.

Thanks Cord, this helped and the 64 bit client launched The game is performing much better for me now. Looks much preetier and is awesome!

ok, cool


I had "heard" in world chat that plug-ins were not working. I take World Chat seriously, but I do not take World Chat as gospel. It's like picking weeds in a flower patch, some roots are intertwined.

Same here....and I did a full repair as well in case. Working fine now

The Direct X didn't change anything for me, launcher still disappears and no game loads.

Launcher doing nothing might be a firewall issue, especially after such a big updates and a new launcher. I would check to make sure your firewall isnt blocking it under the firewalls standard settings and its Heuristic settings.
