Hi everyone,

First thanks to the Anet team for this 64 native client, just came back from a long summer vacation away and discovered that the client was available. I have been waiting for this for 4 years!!!

I only played a couple of hours since but here is a first feedback:

Run smoother than the 32bit version, it is also much more stable. I was able to fight against several World bosses with huge crowd without crashing. With the 32bit version i was usually unable to finish Tequatl for example(usually 3 to 4 crashes!!!).
I didn’t had the keyboard bug reported by other players so I don’t know if it has been fixed or if I just don’t get it (or haven’t played enough).
Also I was able to push settings to high for everything, I have about 30fps usually but sometimes for no reason it fall to 10fps for few seconds…but it is still far more playable than the 32 version (I’m aware that I’m playing on the Intel iris pro and not Nvidia card so it is probably making a big difference).
Loading time of the game is ok(it seems even slightly faster than with the 32b)

Things to improve:
When I edit the world map in full screen, zooming, de-zooming and moving the map (like you do on google map:-)) is very “jerky”. That was smoother on the 32b version it seems.
Also I noticed a strange light “halo” around my character when in game sometimes but that is not critical to play.

Also for info I run the game on
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
2,2 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
MacOS Sierra 10.12.6

Keep up the good work and thanks again
