BTW to confirm whether you are playing 32bit or 64bit version
run game.
Press Alt + Tab
Right click on your taskbar
Select "Start Task Manager" from list
Click on the "Processes" Tab
Look for eurotrucks2.exe
If it says *32 after the eurotrucks2.exe then you are still running 32bit, if however there is nothing after the eurotrucks2.exe then congrats your firing on 64bit premium octaine awesomeness
example: (32bit)

If you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64 and then right click the eurotrucks2.exe and "Create Desktop Shortcut" then you will know you are always launching the 64bit version.

Thanks.
Now, can someone explain what the difference is between 32 & 64? I'm the curious type, I love info! TYIA.

The main thing is that 64bit gives the game access to much more memory. A 64bit CPU also has wider registers but the main draw is the memory.

Mine comes up with Unable to Launch Desired Executable when I try to launch the 64 bit version on Steam...
Re: Guide: How to launch 64 bit exe
Make sure your OS and CPU are 64bit

^^Isn't that obvious? Makes me wonder if steam would download the ETS2's 64bit folder for x86 OS platform? Doesn't make sense.

My system is x64, and it DID run the x64 bit version on 1.14, but not now I'm on 1.15
