So mine is win 7 x32. And on it I can't run GTA V, neither WWE 2K15. So what can I do with it? I have to re-install my OS? Cause I have heard that there are some kind of fix patches that can help to run, for example GTA V, on x32 OS. Or it's just scam, to injure my PC? What about this situation, your suggestions? Thanks.

well, the 32 bit windows effectively limits your ram to... 3 or 3.5 GB and I guess even if you got them to work the big games would find that a bit lacking...

well yes, but still if it's possible, I want to try)

What are your current specs looking like? To be honest, I think the issue is with your setup rather than your windows.

No, it crashes and shows that my OS is incompatible with the game. Only x64 is.

A lot of recent games refuse to even install on an x32 OS. I remember buying a game for my dad last year and it just instantly said something like "yo, this PC is 32 bit, fuck that, I'm out.". What's your GPU/CPU?

Edit: The store page itself actually says MINIMUM specs required are a x64 OS, so no, I don't think there's going to be a way around it

I don't remember exactly, but it's shity, GT 200 series. Maybe it will ran on minimum, but the problem is it's not launching, saying OS is incompatible.

I know, that's why I'm asking. Heard about fix patches, but don't trust them. So only way out now, I suppose, to install x64 OS.

64 bit software won't run on a 32 bit operating system, no amount of patching will change that. These "patches" you see online are likely nothing but malware.

Yep, I think so. But worth to ask, who knows.

Software engineer here: if the executable was compiled to be 64-bit code, there is no way to run it on 32-bit OS. It is not just about memory, but the operating mode of the CPU.
I do not know anything specific about GTA V, this is just a general thing.

My suggestion would be to get a new OS.

Yep, I think now it's the only way, cause nobody knows other, so do I.

I know of a few games that don't support older operating systems mostly just because of lazy devs and that can be successfully patched. But I'm fairly certain that GTA V really does need a 64 bit OS - because of the memory requirements if nothing else.

And what about WWE? And if it can be patched, is there some trustful source to download it?

I don't know anything about WWE so I'm less certain. But again I think a major problem is that the minimum RAM requirements appear to be more than what can be supported by a 32 bit OS. That kind of problem is a bit beyond a patch.

How many gigs of RAM do you have ? If => 4GB then install 64-bit Windows :D

go to 64bit. i know, it means time and money, but there is no fix for it (that won't do more harm than good)

Most of you saying this, so I think that's the option.

You could always install Windows 7 64-bit. The serial keys work for either version, so it's not like you have to go out and buy a new OS.

I don't really see any reason not to run 64-bit anymore, unless you have only 2GB of RAM or a really old CPU that isn't 64-bit. The few 64-bit apps there are run faster than their 32-bit equivalents, you get some of your RAM back on 4GB systems that normally have to share the address space with video memory, and pretty much everything has 64-bit drivers now (if it doesn't then it's likely it doesn't support Vista/7 to begin with).

"The few 64-bit apps there are run faster than their 32-bit equivalents".
False.

Most apps don't benefit from 64-bits and most of them even run slower in x64 due to larger overhead.

Thank you all guys and girls for answers. Most of you suggesting to change on x64. So will make some money, a little bit upgrade my PC, and will move on x64 version. Thanks again.
