General Discussion - How to use 32-bit client after update? - Forum

When there was dx9, if dx9 is used, the client will be 32-bit. How do I open the 32-bit client when there is no dx9 in options. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/6t43r5/how_do_you_swap_back_to_the_32_bit_version_steam/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2065638/page/1#p15169522 These are what google tells me about this issue. They all say that dx9 can force the client to be 32-bit.

By not having to maintain support for two versions of DirectX, we will be able to simplify a lot of code, making it faster. from Jan 27, 2019 So they still support the use of the 32 bit client, but not DX9 Original post by Chris ~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.
