I use the steam launcher and select "play in 64 bit" but it still shows 32 bit in task manager.

How can you use these instructions for windows 8?

[Centrino2]

It should work the same way, if you are on the desktop not the start screen.

So what are the pros of this process ?

[jarvik79]

Allows the game to access >3GB of RAM, which it might very well need if you've got a big graphics card and lots of mods.
If the game i needs more than this amount and can't access it due to 32-bit limitations, it will crash; 64-bit allows effectively unlimited memory access.

Yes yes, I know it's 8TB....

But when we breach 8TB i doubt ETS 2 will still be around and played.

Why are we whispering?

[jarvik79]

Because knowing the readership of this forum, I knew there would be some pedant who pointed out 8TB != ∞. Cadde stopped one step away from taking the bait, hehe
