Posted October 28, 2019 I was in the middle of playing a game and then realized my ping was higher than usual. I then opened task manager to see what programs were taking up my bandwidth and noticed that a lot of my programs were running in 32 bit. I am 100% certain I installed the 64 bit version of all my programs, and I am running Windows 10 64 bit. So what's the dealio? How can I change it back?

Posted October 28, 2019 Define "all my programs". Discord is a 32-bit only application. Steam is running 64-bit, Chrome is running 64-bit. What's the issue?

Posted October 28, 2019 This is perfectly normal and nothing has changed. Many programs are designed to be 32-bit because 64-bit simply isn't necessary and it allows for greater compatibility for anyone that may still need it. This is completely unrelated to why you might have high ping, and task manager won't help you figure that out either. Your ping will fluctuate depending on countless different factors. Unless your ping is consistently awful across all of your games, it is probably also normal. Desktop - CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x | COOLER: be quiet!

Oh nvm then. It's just that I've never noticed that it has always been like that 50 minutes ago, Shadow6767 said: This is perfectly normal and nothing has changed.

Unless your ping is consistently awful across all of your games, it is probably also normal. I'm not saying this was related to my ping. The only reason why I checked task manager was to see if one of my programs were updating in the background. This then led to me figuring out that some of my programs are running in 32 bit. Thanks for the help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
