piddu Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi all I'm going to switch my pincab from win7 x64 to win 10 x64. Is it better to install 32 or 64 bits version of PinballX? I have an i5 with 8GB RAM and a GTX970 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outhere Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 PinballX 3.29 Make sure install LAV Filters https://www.pinballx.com/ See notes on 64 bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piddu Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for the reply. I've made this question because I've read this: - The install now defaults to a 32 bit install, for both new installs and anyone upgrading from a release prior to this one. If you are not using the 32 bit version select the option on install. It caused numerous support issues previously and it just wasn't a good idea to default to 64 bit in hindsight.

tthurman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Your best bet if you use any third party add-ons is to stick with the 32-bit version of PinballX as there are known compatibility issues with many of the community developed add-ons that are not 64 bit. At some point, this will likely change, but for the foreseeable future, I'd recommend you stick with 32-bit based on what I"ve read in the support forums.

piddu Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 I don't use any plugin, but if there's no advantage (I thought 64 bits build was faster than the 32) I'll stay on the 32 bits build. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 64-bit leverages greater access to system resources, such as RAM. If you are running B2S, then there will be a compatibility issue as B2S is only compatible with the 32-bit version of PinballX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piddu Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 I want to use videos fot Backbox (hd ready) and playfiled (Full HD, so no 4K). If there is no speed improvement I'll stay with 32 bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
