Running the CryENGINE(R) 2 Sandbox(TM) 2

Editor.exe application found in the Bin32 directory for usage on
a 32bit PC or in the Bin64 Bin64 directory for usage on a 64bit PC.
Warning: Running the Sandbox Editor under a 32bit OS can lead to
instabilities with production size levels due to the low amount of

this configuration to learn the feature set its use on a 32bit OS
is not supported.
