Need Help, Cannot Run ACT in 64 Bit
i am new in using ACT on XIV, i installed by following this guide https://github.com/FFXIV-ACT/setup-guide
i run the "Advanced Combat Tracker.exe" (not the ACTx86.exe) in administrator mode, i have bypassed the firewall, but when i am testing game connection i got this error
i found something weird that task manager shows this app as this (32bit)
clearly my system wont launch this in 64bit
anyway i am using windows 10 home 64bit
kindly need everyone help

ACT is compiled in such a way that the OS will pick 32/64 and prefer 64-bit where available. I've never seen it prefer 32-bit instead. ACTx86 is a wrapper that requires 32-bit and loads normal ACT in that context.
I attached the reverse of this idea... ACTx64 will refuse to run as 32-bit and load the normal ACT that way. This is just a test and won't work long term through updates.
wow that solves the problem, thanks!
do you have any idea why my system preferred 32-bit for ACT? is there anything i could change in my system to make it prefer 64-bit instead?
I've never heard of this happening before. A 64-bit system should prefer to run ACT as x64 already. There are very few ways to force it one way or the other.
