I can't seem to get the 4GB patch to work or rather download to my SHIII directory. I am using a Steam version of the game, but it does not want to find the .exe of the game.

I am also using the GWX Mod as well.

Right-click on the SH3.exe file in Windows Explorer (Computer, My PC, etc), and choose "Properties" from that menu. Click on the "General" tab, if it isn't already open, and see if in the "Attributes" section toward the bottom of the tab has the "Read-only" box ticked. If it does, click on it to clear it. That should allow LAA to write to the executable file.

You want patch Exe with 4gb patch or LAA?
