The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

Actually it does! The game worked for 32 bit for the longest time, and then suddenly we started having weird crashes, which was because the RAM address space ran out. Some maps are quite big, and we just had to go 64 bit in the end.

Ah I see, I stand corrected then.

Thing is, there is a Windows restriction as well on how much memory can be allocated per application at maximum. For x86 applications it's 2GB. So, I suppose SOMA's executable is x64 only and cannot be run on x86 machines in order to avoid such crashes.
