Hi Frogus,

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. If it was, we'd keep supporting 32 bit.

There were a huge number of changes required to get AC3D into 64 bit and it would be very difficult to go back. It's not just the AC3D code and build processes (on three different platforms) but multiple support libraries that AC3D uses.

The decision was made to concentrate only on 64 bit since the vast majority of computers sold now, and for the last few years. benefit from having a 64 bit operating system and memory/hardware.

AC3D 8 will continue to work on your machine - it will not time out.
