Quick update! I forced myself to do the first instance of LWs4 episode 2 on my 64bit client. And well... It was a nightmare.First things first, I consider myself to be amongst the lucky ones who don't need to wait for the map to load. Though I did notice a fps drop once I was out on the new map. I wouldn't know how the game would react to an hyperpopulated area though since I did not try that, so I cannot speak about that yet.But the camera... Gosh, I ended up with a headache. Just the simple act of moving around was horrible. Always turning in the opposite direction I wanted to go to. Easy to say I completely failed the stealthy part. But combat was even worse. In a situation where you need to be fast and rely on your reflexes, fighting them AND enemies at the same time is almost impossible. I could not see where the ennemies were, since I was involuntarly turning my back to them most of the time. And regarding the AOE we're supposed to avoid, I was jumping right into them 80% of the time. I was downed over and over again, I did not understand half of what was happening because I was focusing so hard on my camera. I ended up hating the final fight, when I know I would have had a lot of fun with the strat in normal circumstances. I also feel like I missed out on many secundary parts of the story as I had that huge disadvantage that did not let me explore the area at my will.We're supposed to have a good time when we play a game. Especially a game we love. I understand that my issue is a minor one, especially compared to the people who simply can't load any background. Yet it's still annoying as hell.

I would like to raise an issue that completly stops me from using the 64-bit client.I mean, I don't have any loading problem, it's even faster than the 32-bit client. I don't spend up to half an hour trying to open the client since it doesn't crash over and over again from the start. But I wouldn't know how it would last in time though, since I've never been able to use it more than ten minutes in row before quitting in frustration and reverting back to the 32-bit client.The issue is so simple that it's laughable, yet it turns my experience to hell. I cannot control the camera, therefor I cannot go anywhere. Even running in a straight line is not managable. The settings are reversed compared to the 32-bit client, which makes the camera move to the opposite direction I'm actually trying to reach.I play with the trackpad, , I always have (I know, hiss at me and call me a heretic if you want). I'm used to that to the point I don't see myself using a mouse at all, even on the 32-bit client where I can move perfectly well. I don't even own one to begin with, so I cannot even test it to see if it is still an issue with one.But somehow between the 32-bit client launch and now, Apple decided that moving to the right with your fingers to go to the right was not so logical after all and they reversed that. So now, these are default settings on every mac computer BUT we can change those settings, and somehow, Anet did not consider that. And since on mac we cannot move the camera indepedantly from the direction the character is going to (at least not with the trackpad), moving from point A to B is a freaking hell. I cannot go anywhere. Let even fight. The camera moving in the opposite direction I actually want it to is ruining two years worth of learnt reflexes. I tried many times to play, I swear. But I need to focus permanently on the simple task that going forward is. And even then, I can't make it. Imagine someone forces you to write a four pages long essay with the hand you cannot write with ? Same feeling. It's just not manageable and it's extremely frustating at that because you know that you don't even have to think about it in normal circumstances.On top of that, the 64bit client doesn't recognize the AZERTY keyboard, which changes all the shortcuts on my keyboard to other keys. Now that's something I can deal with, and I just have to spend 15 minutes changing all of them, which is fine. I even have more keys options than with my AZERTY one, which is great! I could even deal with the mystery that QWERTY keyboard is to me while using it in chat and making typos because of it. But since it doesn't solve the camera issue, I just end up going back to the 32-bit client and spend 15 minutes I could use to play to change back my shortcuts all over again. That's another reason why I cannot play with that client. Changing to QWERTY messes with my directional keys as well, and I'm not willing to change those when I know I will go back to the other client in anycase. I can deal with the 32bit client crashes. I'm more than desapointed by the knowledge I cannot download it again in an attempt to repair it to stop it crashing when I launch it but I can deal with that issue. Even if I sometimes have to try for half an hour until it works. Even if I know the 64-bit client would work in a heartbeat. That's how much I resent playing on it. But today, I was forced to write this post, because the first instence of LWs4 WON'T CHARGE ON 32BIT CLIENT when it perfectly does on the 64bit client. Please Anet, add an option in the settings to reverse the right and left camera mouvement. There's already one for up and down, so why not right and left ? (And please, make the AZERTY keyboard recognized by the client too, that would be a huge step up!)
