Hello everyone,
Albion Online is planning to discontinue the support of 32-bit Windows versions later this year.
32-bit Windows versions allow for a maximum of 2.7GB of RAM to be used. This has already led to technical issues, like crashes because of insufficient available RAM, in the past. With the growing complexity of Albion, this will become a bigger issue in the future.
As 32-bit Windows versions have phased out of the market for quite a while now, only a small fraction of our total userbase will be affected by this change. Anyone who has more than 4GB RAM in their PC will likely be running a 64-bit version of the Operating system anyways - everyone else should upgrade their OS to a 64-bit version.
FAQ

32-bit OS are limiting in terms of RAM. Ceasing to support these versions will allow for more complex echnical constructs.

How does this affect me if I already have a 64-bit Windows version?
This change will not affect you at all.
What should I do if I still have a 32-bit version of Windows?
Upgrade to a 64-bit version of your operating system.
