Windows 7 32-bit - is there a way to play?

[Zaitsev_V]

Unfortunately, I bought this game without checking the system requirements carefully. And as a result, I can't play (game starts, but crashes nearly every turn). OK, I realize my mistake, but still:
- is there some way to play this game (without re-installation to 64-bit version, I mean)?
- does Paradox Interactive have a plan to add Win7 32-bit support?

Thank you.

Try to install both vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe in the game folder(C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Warlock 2\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2012).

If i remember right, world size:XL isn't available in the 32-bit version game.

Yes, of course I tried to perform the default recommendations at first, but vcredit_x64.exe is not running on the Win7 32-bit.

Thank you anyway.

P.S. You say "32-bit version"? But system requirements assigns only 64-bit Win7.

Because my OS is win7 64bit, i can't experiment the method.

But i heard that many win7-32bit players using the method said they didn't see the world size:XL option in game.

It can be playable on 32-bit systems, we just can not guarantee that it runs well because of the way 32-bit systems handle RAM. It will probably run, but you will not have access to the XL-map options as skycrow says.

Great news! I found hope! OK, I tried start a company, so it isn't XL-map anyway, but I have this trouble. I found that saving doesn't performed: I put name of file, it's written in the notification, that saving is success. But there is no any new files in the C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\MyIdHere\203630\local\default\saves: only two autosaves plus a lot of files from the "Warlock - Master of the Arcane". Maybe it is a root case. So, what files (logs, etc.)should I demonstrate?
It is an Error Event:

Sorry, it's in Russian, but I can translate if it's needed.
Of course, I tried to switch Antivirus and Firewall off, but it didn't help.


So, what can I do? Or what should I do?

Thanks.
