I suppose this is unsupported, because the game req'ts are for "XP" which probably means "x86" XP. However, 64-bit XP is supposed to run 32-bit apps transparently.

Has anyone tried running UCAWA or UCG on a 64-bit XP box? Is there any reason to believe this would result in problems? Or would UCAWA and/or UCG not even notice the difference?

I'd try this myself on a 64-bit box, if I had a 64-bit box...that I wouldn't be in trouble for trying it on (work).

Wasn't there a topic about this already? I'm sure there was.

I tried searching for it and couldn't find it, because I kind of thought so too. I could try again.

OK, I broadened the search. I found this link (UC AWA and future game 64 bit support?) and this link (Computer Upgrade, Finally). The second is less of what I was wondering about, but the implications of the discussion going on in the thread may help answer the question.

My original search was for "64-bit". Stupid me, I should have thought to also try "64 bit". So now we have two top-level topics in this category, one with each variation of 64 bit (64-bit). The next guy who searches is sure to stumble across one of them...
