    Hi, whenever I launch my my game, I always get a notification saying "Warning: 64 bit version of game recommended: running in x86 compatibly mode right now" I can still play the game, but how do I fix this?

    Please upload the beamng-launcher.log file in Documents\BeamNG.drive
    It will help us help you.

    You're probably just running a 32bit version of windows.

    Not necessarily. There can be other reasons the launcher chose the 32-bit version.
    If he uploads the beamng-launcher.log, we can see that reason.

    Lavasoft web companion is installed. Prevents the game launching in 64 bit mode.

    Deinstall all Lavasoft software, its the cause of the problem.

    I can't find it in "Revo Uninstaller" or just the Uninstall a program in control panel

    Hmm... It could be a false detection.

    However... When I open control panel while playing the game, it says 32-bit

    You can try running the 64-bit version by opening "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\Bin64\BeamNG.drive.x64.exe".
    You'd have to do that every time though. Or, you could create a shortcut to it and just use that to run the game.

    It worked! And I could probably deal with making a shortcut, but how big of an effect is there between the 2?

    Some maps hit the 2gb RAM limit of the 32 bit build (which is not large address aware)

    Notice this thread is from last year.
    Anyhow, the game will use 64-bit mode if:
    - Your PC has a 64-bit OS
    - Your PC has more than 4GB of RAM available
    - No incompatible programs are found ( https://wiki.beamng.com/Incompatible_Third_Party_Software | Especially the 'Lavasoft' one )

    If you want help to figure that out, provide a Support ID: https://wiki.beamng.com/BeamNG_FAQ#..._a_.27Support_Request.27._How_do_I_do_that.3F
