Oh wow I looked up AGi32 and that thing seems like a mess. I feel sorry for you.

I get that it might be hard to migrate some really nastily written software, but... In the year of our lord 2025, it should not be acceptable for any sort of simulation software that requires an expensive paid license, to be 32-bit only.

Agreed but the alternatives are not much better for me. I also use Dialux Evo which is much, much better at rendering but it's extremely Euro centric and you can't easily make a template for Australian standards. There's Relux which I tried using but I didn't want to pay for yet another license just to practice and get better at using it.

Unfortunately, for us Australian lighting designers, there's not a lot of options. It's a gag in the industry where if you hear someone yelling "FUCK!!" out of nowhere, AGI has crashed.
