How to check which version of Train Simulator I am running
To check which version, you are using you’ll need to open the Settings menu via the icon found on the main menu in the top right.
Once within the Settings menu on the left-hand side underneath all of the options, you’ll see the current version of the game you have installed and if you are using 64-bit or not.:
So if you have just the version number on its own with no (x64) this would indicate you are using the 32-Bit version of Train Simulator.
If you see (x64) this would indicate you are using the 64-Bit version of Train Simulator.
