KartRider PC Game Upgrades to 64-bit Client, Ending 32-bit Windows Support
The classic PC game KartRider will transition to a 64-bit client on October 29, 2026, discontinuing support for 32-bit Windows operating systems.
Game developer IT Home announced that the popular PC online game KartRider is scheduled to upgrade to a 64-bit client on October 29, 2026. Following this update, the game will no longer support 32-bit Windows operating systems, requiring players to ensure they are using a 64-bit system to continue playing.
The upgrade is intended to enhance the game's performance on modern computer hardware. Developers stated the transition aims to reduce issues such as stuttering and crashes commonly associated with the older client. Players are advised to download and install necessary software components, including Visual C++ 2015-2022 (x64) and DirectX End-User Runtime, to ensure a smooth experience after the update.
The patch size for this upgrade will be substantial, comparable to a full client reinstallation. Players are therefore recommended to allocate sufficient disk space and ensure a stable internet connection for the download. This architectural shift is part of IT Home's effort to adapt the game for current computing environments and improve overall stability.
