ASF is AnyCPU binary which means it'll run fine on both 32-bit as well as 64-bit OSes. Up to today 32-bit runtime was preferred for ASF, as it uses less memory and can be faster than 64-bit equivalent. However, in very busy environments it's easily possible for ASF to require even more than 2 GB of memory, and in addition to that extending our userspace to 64-bit can bring benefits on more modern setups. Therefore, keep being compatible on both 32-bit and 64-bit OSes, but on 64-bit ones use actual 64-bit runtime instead of preferred 32-bit one. In addition to that, optimize some unused references and other things while we're at it.
ArchiSteamFarm
ASF is a C# application that allows you to farm steam cards using multiple steam accounts simultaneously. Unlike Idle Master which works only for one account at given time, requires steam client running in background, and launches additional processes imitiating "game playing" status, ASF doesn't require any steam client running in the background, doesn't launch any additional processes and is made to handle unlimited steam accounts at once. In addition to that, it's meant to be run on servers or other desktop-less machines, and features full Mono support, which makes it possible to launch on any Mono-supported operating system, such as Windows, Linux or OS X. ASF is based on, and possible, thanks to SteamKit2.
ASF doesn't require and doesn't interfere in any way with Steam client. In addition to that, it no longer requires exclusive access to given account, which means that you can use your main account in Steam client, and use ASF for farming the same account at the same time. If you decide to launch a game, ASF will get disconnected, and resume farming once you finish playing your game, being as transparent as possible.
