- - The 4-gig patch (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=207054)

Will this patch work if I've already got a mod (RFB 2.0) installed?

Yes, I don't see why not.

This (on 64bit computers) allows the use of the 4th gig RAM, its got nothing to do with game mods in that respect.

See it as a 4 lane data highway but the 4th lane has not bein opend for traffic yet, with this patch it is and a lot more data can run through it.

I have used it on my system which is win 7 64 bit for about 1-1/12 years.

I have not noticed much of a difference, but most systems have no trouble running the game at max settings.

I had been running SH4 with various MODS on my Win7 (64) system for at least two years with never a problem. Suddenly for no apparent reason (other than removing MODS) the game went stupid. Would load and play everything (U-boat missions, Quick missions, Single Patrols) but would CTD every time I tried to start a new American Career.

UN-installed/RE-Installed twice- no luck. Even running a fresh install of 1.5 and no mods at all I had the same issue.

Saw this thread and figured "What the heck. I have 4 gigs of RAM, why not give it a shot?" - This little fix solved the problem.

I was quite surprised, but I was even more pleased. :up:
