FAF and 64 bit machines

[Tenshi07]

Can it be done? Make the game support 64 bit machines. By exploiting the capabilities that are provided by having a 64 bit machine, it is very much possible that the slow-down in simulation speeds as the game progresses, will be improved. Would probably require the source of the game to compile for 64 bit.

Unless you go to GPG, steal the code and kill everybody to cover your tracks, no.

Sorry, 64 bits wont make the slowdowns magically go away even if we had the source and all the licenses to build it. It's a simple, mundane bug in the engine.

But here is a sure fire solution to fix it: Play versus people, not against AIs.

We don't have a method of remedying that problem in the engine, do we?

I heard time travel can solve a lot of problems. Just go back and tell Jon Mavor about the bug before he could write it.

Tell them that multithreading will be a big thing too !
