    Steam SDK for 64-bit linux is available since long ago already, yet the steam linux executable is still 32-bit only. The 64-bit executable is not attached to the steam api (read: no achievements, cards, clouds and stuff).

    Do you think that maybe it's time already?

    Code:
    # We only have Steamworks SDK for x86 at the moment, so if we were launched
#  from the Steam Client, force 32-bit for now. We'll remove this when there's
#  a 64-bit SDK available.
if [ "$SteamGameId" != "" ]; then
  DREDMOR_ARCH="x86"
fi

    I will check if we actually have a 64-bit Steam SDK. Man, I totally forgot about this one...

    (We do, and it's broken the Linux build machine. I'm getting Ryan to look into it at some point but right now he is finishing CE audio and networking code.)

    Any news? Plans? Is this going to happen anytime soon?

    Two years to recompile an executable. This should be a record.
