So I download Wolfquest: Anniversary Edition on Steam, I double-click, and I see this: "The game you are installing requires a 64bit version of Windows. If you don't have such a PC available click below to learn about requesting a refund."
...WHAT? So I can't get it because of my computer, or my version of windows? I don't know because I've never been unable to install a game because of my bit/pixel count (which is 32).
Sorry, but this is frustrating. I was SO excited to finally see the new Anniversary Edition, and now I can't. I feel so left out, and I don't know what to do.

Re: "Requires a 64bit version of Windows"
Hi there,
What operating system version of Windows are you running?
You can change from 32 bit to 64, but you'll need to follow the steps below-- and that's only if your computer is capable of making that change.

Hi,
I use Windows 7, with a 32-bit operating system.
Thank you for the link, I appreciate it! I think I actually have enough RAM, so I'll see what I can do.

Great. You might want to check and make sure your graphics card can run WolfQuest, too, before you make any changes. That way you don't run into more trouble after putting in all this effort to change to 64 bit.Snowflakesnow123 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 11:48 pmHi,
