Greetings.
I understand that future bot and hack developers will require you to run the 32-bit game client to be able to use their product. As the WildStar launcher does not have an option to choose the platform, the only way to select the correct platform is to patch the launcher or manually obtain the game client from the patch server. Neither of these are viable options for the average player.
This is a very lightweight program (8 KB) which will silently start the launcher, patch the process to use files for the correct platform, and exit.
Warning:
Supposedly, this program is causing bans (totally unwarranted in my opinion). As always, be careful.

Download:
Installation:
1. Download WildstarPlatformSelector.exe and place it in WildStar's main directory:
2. Right click WildstarPlatformSelector.exe -> Create shortcut:
3. Right click the new shortcut -> Properties. Add /x86 (for 32-bit) or /x64 (for 64-bit) to the end of the "Target" box. Additionally, you can use -dx9 or -dx11 to specify which DirectX version to use:
4. Click OK. You may rename the shortcut and change it's icon to look more suitable for WildStar:
5. Move the shortcut to your desktop, your quicklaunch bar, or any place where you would normally start WildStar from.
Opening WildStar by using this shortcut will now download and run the correct game files.
Congrats! You now have the ability to choose which platform you will run WildStar under!
