MODERATORS
Call me out if I’m wrong, but my Deck is noticeably snappier after this update. TF2 is also smoother, which is weird considering the game hasn’t changed visually at all. Not even an update notice of anything major.
TF2 was recently updated to 64bit actually! I'd consider that very major.
Can you explain what this statement means? I’m not a techy person.
32-bit programs can’t use as much memory as 64-bit programs. Being able to use more memory means less loading from the disk. 64-bit also tends to be more optimized these days as most systems have moved to it already. In this case, I had no idea TF2 was still 32-bit.
