Does Graal Support 64bit OS?

[Ethereal]

tried installing graal on my new pc the other day, about 10 seconds after it started installing its crashed, now whenever i click the installer you can see it flash up but instantly closes again..

They question is more if 64bit OS' support Graal. What kind of OS, XP 64, Vista 64 or Linux 64bit ?

XP 64bit, sorry for not mentioning that

[Ethereal]

nobody knows?

Graal works alright in Vista x64 RC1 aside from a few issues (no sound, issues with PMs/history causing freezing, runtime errors when exiting). I haven't tested it with the RTM build yet, but I probably will in the next few weeks.

I haven't heard about anything testing Graal with XP x64. I know that version has tons of driver issues though; it isn't supported well.

yeah thats what people have been saying but i haven't had any problems so far except with graal. my friends used it ever since it came out and the only problem he has had is graal aswell..

[Ethereal]

think it will work if i copy my graal folder from my old computer onto this one?

[Ethereal]

alright i gave it a try, i logged in and started up UN, i was running around for around 3 seconds before it crashed..
sorry about the triple post, but the game runs fine with in v3, tried the offline test but the v4 exe doesnt really work at all..

After seeing that forum post I wonder about this.

Does Graal 4 have some type of memory checker? The Windows Emulator Microsoft built is indeed designed to run 32 bit applications, but in its own way. That would mean utilizing abnormally high amounts of memory from the 64 bit processor.

I can launch Graal 4 on XP 64, yea, but only after a fresh install. If it updates it wont run graal 4 anymore, and it would have to be completely redownloaded and installed. The EXE is somehow changing so it will not launch but I am attempting to look into this some.

So far the XP 64 wouldnt relaunch the game, but when I went back to XP 32 bit editions it would again run the exe.

Well so far I managed to atleast launch the game after clicking on it several.. hundred times. But its running for now, guess I probably could figure out why its running now, and not earlier.

**Seems that Graal 4 actually runs now, it might be possible something in the windows 64 has to configure the EXE or something to correctly run it, this might also be why Stefan says it works for some and not others. I have a feeling it might take windows several tries to properly run the application.

At this time it looks like a standard installation of XP x64 works fine after some time of retrying.

ok, i'll go back and click the exe a hundred tims, brb.

[Ethereal]

tried it, came up for a few seconds sometimes but usually crashed soon after.. didn't have any successes though..

Yes, there are memory checkers in Graal. Also it might help to turn off the code-execution protection.

[Ethereal]

how do you do that?

I actually have to launch Media player 11, Internet Explorer 7, My computer, and another folder, and one Teamspeak program before I have enough memory in use that graal doesnt find so much as it actually has, but it likes to crash until I click start.

Basically I believe that Graal is just finding too much memory and thinks something is wrong and closes to prevent "something" from getting broken or hacked. Even though I don't have any memory editing programs, I think this is the problem with the 64 bit windows XP.

The real simple reason is with XP x64, it has a ton of memory from the 64 bit processor to utilize.
