RE: Linux 64bit (Yes I will be Making One)

well, actually.. a 32bit OS can access > 4GBs of ram.. Just not your "desktop" versions of windows. the only REAL reason for 64bit applications is so the application itself can access > 4GBs of ram. otherwise there is no benefit. (yeah you can state on the linux installs that you can have less stuff installed by not having to install the 32bit libraries, but with 1 TB drives is that really that bad?).

Anyways.. I've been testing the 64bit build of the game for a few weeks now, and it's running well. So fear not, there will be 32bit and 64bit linux binaries in the installer.
