Maintenance for the week of September 22:
· [COMPLETE] NA megaservers for maintenance – September 22, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 10:00AM EDT (14:00 UTC)
· [COMPLETE] EU megaservers for maintenance – September 22, 8:00 UTC (4:00AM EDT) - 14:00 UTC (10:00AM EDT)
The PTS is now offline for the patch 11.2.1 maintenance and is currently unavailable.

How do we download the 64-bit client instead of the 32-bit?

The PTS server isn't up yet, but I don't see how to specify I want the 64-bit client to download when it does come back up.
Been there, got the Molag Bal polymorph.

    If they are sticking with what they said last week, they are not installing the Update/DLC today during maintenance. They are supposed to be doing back-end maintenance this time.

    Edit: When the time comes, they will let us know the answer to your larger question.

    Gina said, among other things, that the PTS will be available to test later this week.

    The client will stay the same for the most part, it will just contain an additional binary/executable file (plus corresponding libraries), which has to be chosen at launch (through a yet unannounced mechanism, most likely a Launcher option).

    Oh, so I should probably go reinstall the PTS that I uninstalled? LOL, silly Bolo.

    Will 64 bit client become available on pts in same day with tg dlc or it will be few days delayed?
    Will 64 bit client be downloaded automatically or you have to download it separately?

    Assume it would be included. It's 300mb
    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.

    Yep, the 64-bit client will automatically download with the patch, and is fairly small in size. One thing to note is only the 64-bit version for Mac will be available for the first update; the 64-bit client for PC will be available in a future incremental patch on PTS.

    Is this because most people play it on Mac?

    No, it was simply because the PC client wasn't 100% ready. Boring answer. :)

    @ZOS_GinaBruno
    Just curious..Since the LAUNCHER runs the client, wont the 64-bit client change the LIVE version of the launcher when we download the PTS?

    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    Good point. A 32-bit process can't launch a 64-bit one, so either the launcher is already a 64-bit program or it will be updated along with eso.exe (and all the other relevant files).

    It's just a shellexec, it can run anything. there is no hidden call. only arg is CVar Language.2 all other stuff is in xml conf file.
    We could rewrite entirely the launcher without any problem.
