Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system. Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Firebird 2.5.9 (64-bit).

What's new in this version:

- Two new context variables LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP that are synonyms for CURRENT_TIME and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, respectively. They can be used in this sub-release and in Firebird 3.0.4 and later, for forward-compatibility with Firebird 4. See Context Variables LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP for details
- A read-only transaction will no longer force write the Header\TIP page content to disk immediately after a change. This improvement gives a significant performance gain where there are numerous light read-only transactions. At this stage, it affects only Superserver. For Classic and Superclassic it is more complex to implement and should appear in Firebird 4.0
- The IP address of the remote host is now appended to error messages in firebird.log for TCP connections
