I have lenovo y580 laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit, but for some reason I can't run 64 bit games.
I first discovered this problem while I was trying to play the new Everquest game: Landmark.
The download and install goes fine but when I press play the.exe opens for about a second and then closes.
I searched through the forums and everyone said that if the.exe is failing like that, it is because you have a 32 bit operating system, which I do not.
I contacted customer support and they could not find the problem so I was stuck. After many hours of trying different things I finally gave up.
I recently downloaded another game and when I open the launcher it has a check box to select if you wish to use a 64 bit client. The box was already selected so I closed the options and pressed play.
The.exe opens for a second then closed. Just like landmark did.
I opened the launcher again to see if it worked if I unchecked the box to use a 64 bit client and the.exe opened fine and I could play the game.
I'm confused why my 64 bit computer refuses to run 64 bit games? Anyone else ever have this problem?
