Incremental patch tends to mean that it will be added to this update before it goes live - at a later stage of testing.

ZOS_GinaBruno

The 64-bit client for PC will be available in the next PTS incremental patch, not the next DLC.

Xendyn

Incremental PTS patch.
C'mon people, we have enough flailing about going on around here. No need to freak people out by pulling stuff off pts with no context.

Thank God or ?

Paulington

Thank you Gina, hopefully this will help address the huge amount of crashes and FPS issues people are having on the PTS at the moment.

The obvious follow-up question is... when is the next incremental patch and will it be before the EU character swap?

We tentatively have the next PTS patch scheduled for tomorrow (yes, already!) and won't be doing a character copy with it. EU character copies are looking like they'll be in the next week or two.

Can you provide us time?

That's awesome Gina !!!
Next follow-up question... will I be able to carry on with the Thieves' Guild main quest ? I got stuck at the pillar puzzle and assumed that's where you announced it was bugged, so I gave up...

Yep! That'll be fixed in the next patch.

Did that 64bit client version will use more then 2-3GB of RAM?

"The PTS is now offline for the 2.3.1 patch maintenance and is currently unavailable."

Gina posted that quoted comment yesterday, saying tomorrow, which means today.

Drama much? Your reading skills need some work.

What is going on with NPC no longer having facial animations with dialogues on the PC Client on PTS? This is driving me insane ! Am I missing an option or something?

Might be in 2.3.1, but was a known problem with 2.3.0

This is only some NPCs and mainly in Hew's Bane area, basically the final animations haven't been added yet but will be done before live.

Some icons, voiceover, or localization text is missing, and will be added during the next few incremental patches.

So we will have the 64 bit client when Thieves Guild launches?

That's the plan

ZOS_GinaBruno

The current plan is to release the 64-bit client during the first incremental patch once Thieves Guild goes live (which will likely be a week or two after), rather than the day it goes live in order to minimize potential risks since this is a pretty big change.

nine9six

That would be wise.

Paulington

So @ZOS_GinaBruno which is it?

The 64-bit client for PC will be available in the next PTS incremental patch, not the next DLC.

The current plan is to release the 64-bit client during the first incremental patch once Thieves Guild goes live.

I know it may be both so we can test it and then you release it later, but it is a little confusing. .

sirinsidiator

Sounds like you plan to drop it directly on live.
Am I the only one who is getting goosebumps just thinking about it?
Can you please, please upload it to PTS first, even if you release it after the TG update goes live?
As you said it is going to be a pretty big change and I don't want to get stuck with a crashing client after the first incremental.

At the end can PC users test it on the PTS or not?

No they didnt include it in the first version they put up on PTS, they will fix that tomorrow on PTS. Then you have to wait till 7th of march before it goes live...

Sorry, let's try again:

The 64-bit client for PC will be available to test on the PTS with today's patch (2.3.1).

When we're ready to publish the update to the Live megaservers, the 64-bit client won't be available to use until the first incremental patch, which is likely to be a week or two after the update is published on 3/7.
