✭✭✭✭✭based on this https://netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0 going to DirectX 12 may not be a good idea for them
The Steam Hardware survey is probably a better indication of the hardware capabilities of the average gamer.
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/
The one you found shows the entire market, which includes all those businesses that upgrade their hardware as little as possible for cost reasons. Most of those businesses are on Win7, and will remain there for the next few years until MS stops putting out security updates for them. Then they will be forced to go Win 10.
The Steam survey shows fully DX12 capable systems (GPU and OS) at around 47%. Still would be a terrible idea for ZoS to abandon DX11 at this point, but better then the industry wide 30% of the other pie chart you provided.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I logged in for a couple hours to see what is going on and was under the impression this was done to increase performance . I did not notice and FPS increases or really anything notable as a performance improvement . Would this only improve performance for people with older 64 bit machines and not newer ones ? Have all the performance improvements been released already ?0 -

Yes, the 32 bit client goes away in update 17. The performance improvements in this update mainly affected loading screen times and frame rate in populated areas.
For me the loading into a new zone is faster. Also, in heavily populated cities my frame rate does not drop as much as before. It does still drop though.
The update's impact might vary based on hardware. Some configurations might benefit more than others.0 -

✭I manually run the eso64.exe instead of using the launcher. Only time I fire up the launcher is to patch when I get the "invalid client version" error. My system memory thanks me. Not sure why the launcher doesn't auto-close once the game launches. It seems to have a memory leak. I can always tell when I forget to close it when I play. Game starts getting sluggish after an hour or so. If the launcher isn't running, I have no issues whatsoever playing the game.4 -

"Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge0 -

Read the first post, second paragraph in this topic. It tells you how to know what client you are running ( and if you can run the 64bit client ).

If you want to check to make sure you can successfully run the 64-bit client prior to this change being made, click the cog in the upper right-hand corner of the patcher, then check the box that reads “Run 64Bit Game Client.” If this doesn’t work, or if you know you’re running a 32-bit version of Windows, you’ll need to upgrade to Windows 64-bit Operating System to continue playing ESO after this change is made in Update 17. ...PC - NA - AD

Smaxx✭✭✭✭✭I am kind of surprised the 32bit client is still part of PTS.
It isn't. It's 100% identical to the 64 bit client. I could imagine "eso64.exe" disappearing at a later point since it no longer makes any sense. Personally, I would have replaced the original ESO.exe with a small program that checks whether the system is 64 bit (and then launch the actual game) or provide a popup message with more information in case it is not.0 -
TicklesWithTalonsSoul ShrivenThe majority of games (probably non-gamer's as well) use 64-bit operating systems.
This will definitely hurt a handful of players, but overall it will make it easier to push updates, fixes bug, and optimize performance since they will not have to deal with 2 clients nor with the limitations 32-bit programs come with.Tickles-With-Talons

Octopuss✭✭✭✭✭It's not that bad. The files are only about 200MB, so probably a lot less to download due to compression.0
