The BitTorrent network is impressive mostly for the speed and reliability with which you get files that have been recently released. As long as a .torrent file has enough people sharing then you can be assured that it will start quickly and maintain a good download speed. Always remember to leave your BitTorrent client open to help distribute the files!

Okay, here's the deal.

Because of some changes in the registry on 64-bit systems, AutoPatcher 5.1 will not be able to detect installed hotfixes. This is because 32-bit programs (such as the autopatcher executable) are locked into a specific area of the registry. So when AutoPatcher queries for, let's say

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB123456

Windows redirects it to

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB123456

...which doesn't exist.

As most of you know, I don't have a 64-bit system, so I found out when Gandolas was making an x64 release based on... AutoPatcher 6. Oh, and yes, AutoPatcher 6, although still a 32-bit executable, is aware of the x64 differences and will have no trouble getting around that registry issue...

/Raptor

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB123456

Windows redirects it to

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB123456

...which doesn't exist.

I know about this limitation. But there are still more. On x64 based windows versions the information witch hotfix is installed isn't stored in the registry. So ap have to create a new reg key to detect the hotfixes in the future.

That are all reasons for me to create a ctp version auf ap x64. So we can test if ap 5.1 is able to update a x64 system. Maybe itcan help with the development of ap 6.0.

Beep. Wrong answer. 64-bit Windows versions still store that info in the registry... They even store it in two parts... The one is the good old HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix and the new one is the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Update (if i'm not mistaken)

I'm sorry but that isn't so!!

Just look at this litte video (xvid needed!): Download

Windows x64 store *some* hofix information in "C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$"!

good job. Some issues though. WMP 10 is included in x64 versions of Windows.

You could also add some of the following:

-MSN Messenger 7.5

-Flash 8.

These have been confirmed working for when I made my x64 version (now scrapped as of seeing this)

the_guy

Will that version install on x64?

1 other thing, 896727 is replaced by 905915.

Yes!

No!

- KB896727 replaces KB883939 & KB903235

- KB905915 replaces KB896688

Thank you for making an x64 autopatcher

No probelm, but remember that's no official version. It's only for testing!

well im upgrading to x64 windows and downloading your file as a backup for later update

cant wait to play hl2 64 bit, wohoo?!!!

Playing @ x64 isn't really amazing. Often Win32 is much faster.:(( I have a dual boot system for working and gaming.

If you wish to test it, heres a dowload location:

Windows XP Pro x64: http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1...1830_PX6_EN.iso

As raptor said, i've been workin AutoPatcher XP x64 based on the brand new version 6. There are some big differences between the "old" 5.1 and 6.x...

Edit:

And there are some problems with your settings.

1st. - You are using the old 5.1.31 (the newest is 5.1.36);

2nd. - You have "TargetOS=ANY_OS" and it should be "ANY_XP_X64" (and i think "ANY_2K3_X64"), but even with the ANY_OS string, i can't see any module but tweaks because of:

3rd. - Lot's of fields have errors. Example:

Default=Wahr

Expand=Wahr

...

NeedsRestart=Wahr

about x64 environment tags:

Tags are constructed using the following:

1. Operating System Family (i.e. XP)

2. Operating System Suite (i.e. X64)

3. Operating System Service Pack (i.e. SP1)

With that information, AutoPatcher creates the tag FAMILY_SUITE_SERVICEPACK

The running environment is also considered to be a 'member' of:

ANY_FAMILY_VERSION

ANY_FAMILY_SUITE

ANY_FAMILY_SERVICEPACK

And of course a member of:

ANY_OS

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is XP_X64_SP1 so it would be a member of ANY_XP_VERSION, ANY_XP_X64 and ANY_XP_SP1

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
