MacOS started warning users earlier this year that 32-bit applications would soon become incompatible with the operating system. On top of that, they finally stopped using the pre-Yosemite window buttons and added the current versions. Yesterday they pushed out a big update with a new chat system they had been testing recently, and, after checking, all of Steam finally seems to run on 64 bit now! In addition to now being 64-bit, Steam for Mac includes a new chat system which it says more modern, more flexible, and features “group chats built for gaming.” All of the new features of the chat client can be found on Steam’s website.įor macOS users, another change comes in that Steam has stopped using the pre-Yosemite window buttons (finally) and has made the jump to the current design: Users report that the interface is more responsive and that it runs “significantly better” than past 32-bit versions of the app. This is incredibly important for Steam users as macOS Mojave will be the last version of macOS to support 32-bit applications….Īs noted in a thread on Reddit, with the jump to 64-bit come a handful of performance improvements. Where did you get this information from? I'd like to see.Ahead of the public release of macOS 10.14 Mojave this fall, Steam has finally updated its Mac application to be 64-bit. There is currently some major changes to steam going on in the background, so who knows maybe its coming, maybe its not. Ursprungligen skrivet av ModernPops:And why not in download speed? Why Apple is requiring 64bit only programs, I don't know, but that was the last I heard of it, that its was going to require 64bit programs only. That being said, they "might" move to a 64 bit client anyway, because from my understanding the MAC OS is going to require all programs that run on it to be 64 bit and unless Valve wants a version that they will have to take care of thats very different from the 32bit client, they might as well move every client (Windows, Linux and MAC) to 64 bit so that all the coding is similar and hunting and fixing bugs would be easier. Seriously it doesn't do anything better if it was 64 bit instead of 32 bit.
It won't use memory better as it uses under 4 gigs of memory, in fact it doesn't even come close to using 1 gig of memory. There are already examples of people with gigabit (1, 2 and 10) connections downloading steam games on a 32 bit client and they were getting their full speeds.Ī 64 bit steam client does nothing for you.
And why not in download speed?īecause you can only download as fast as your ISP will allow it. in terms of download speed yeah you're not gonna say any difference.
