However, on the upside, most if not all graphics issues, especially crashes on Windows due to driver problems, should now be resolved.
- Steam Windows Binary 64bit ONLY: updated the requirement to run the game to 64bit (32bit Windows binary is gone). The reason for the change is that the new ANGLE drivers didn't properly work on 32bit. Based on the Steam hardware survey only 0.38% of players should be affected. If you can't run the game anymore, please use the official binaries provided on the website instead (there is still 32bit). Sorry for the inconvenience.
