Hello. I'm working on a game Tiny Bunny, episodic horror VN. The other day we released the next - the 4th episode - and the players, among other things, began to complain that they can't run game on 32 bit OS. Previously, I did not pay attention to this and RenPy independently created exe-files for 64 and 32 bit OS.
Now he doesn't. I tried looking through the changelogs in the updates, but didn't find anything - most likely because I didn't search hard enough.
Can someone clarify the situation for me? RenPy no longer supports 32 bit OS, or am I missing some setting for this somewhere?

Re: Missing exe for 32 bit os
It depends on which version of Ren'Py you're using. Ren'Py 8 has dropped support for obsolete 32-bit operating systems. Ren'Py 7 still supports them, but you need it set:
I'd suggest recommending your players upgrade to a 64-bit OS.
Code: Select all
define build.include_i686 = True

We are using RenPy 8.
Thanks for clarifying.
Well, I need to deliver bad news for players...

Re: Missing exe for 32 bit os
If you don't use Python 3 features you could simply download the latest 7's sdk and unzip it into a separate folder and build with that version, so your game would be accessible for older systems again.
I did this myself and it worked flawlessly even with a Ren'py Version 8 installed.

That was my first thought when I learned about deprecated x32 support.Another_Tom wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 10:00 amIf you don't use Python 3 features you could simply download the latest 7's sdk and unzip it into a separate folder and build with that version, so your game would be accessible for older systems again.

We've got a features added in 8, so unless we remade sections of the episode we don't consider it as option.

It's time to tell players running a 32-bit os that they need to upgrade.

Question was answered; I added nothing of value.

Re: Missing exe for 32 bit os
I don't think the suggestion is because anybody dislikes 32bit systems, but rather because 32bit systems started being phased out of production over 2 decades ago.
Windows last operating system that offered 32bit is also about to be end of life and we're already 5 operating systems past the last most commonly used 32bit Windows which was Windows XP at this point with Windows 12 set to be released later this year.
I know not everyone uses Windows, but it's generally a good chunk of your user base and a good indicator of technology trends.

You're right. I apologise for all the trouble.
