I was working on my current scripting project, which uses the Alien LUA Extension, when all of a sudden I get the following output:

Make sure you are running the 32-bit exe of cheatengine.

And only this binary will work with ce http://cheatengine.org/temp/celua_alien.rar

I only use the 32-bit version, and yes I am using that very same binary.
Also, today I loaded up my project again and this time it worked (as did a simple "require [[alien]]" statement).
But once again, I reloaded CE and then the same issue started to reoccur.
It just doesn't make any sense, but something's proving to be incredibly unstable here...

Perhaps I should just skip all this mess and make a plugin instead.
Does the engine expose any D3D interfaces/mechanisms to plugin devs?

EDIT:
Okay so apparently, I have two shortcuts which both say "Cheat Engine 6.2 (32-bit)". One of them is on my desktop, and another in my start menu.
Just to be sure I wasn't crazy, I checked the properties of both shortcuts...
Lo and behold, the one on my desktop actually points to the 64-bit version.
Except, I never renamed this shortcut and AFAIK I'm the only one who touches my laptop... So as strange as it may be, at least the problem is solved.
