I have only 2GB of memory with XP Nvidia 2x 8800GT with about 20 other mods running and i don't seem to have any problems with CTD

So i am not sure why other people are having this problem

Dave

Thanks for the offer of further help. This is what I did.

1. Changed my boot.ini so it looked like this

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn /3GB /USERVA=2990

2. Loaded the mods in the correct order (as set out in Magic1111's previous post).

3. Unpacked EditBin.7z to a temp directory.

4. Moved my sh3.exe file to that directory and ran the batch file.

5. Moved my sh3.exe back.

Dave, as I understand it, the 3 Gb patch fixes a problem with virtual address space that is unconnected with the amount of physical or virtual memory you have. I read somewhere that PCs with large amounts of video memory can suffer worse than those with less. I found an post that helped me understand the problem a bit better here (different game forum, but same problem). I have at least learned something from having this problem, I'd never even heard of it before I tried to get this mod working.

Add to that the plethora of hardware and software combos.........I have seen people with much better systems than mine struggling with things my computer runs easily

Hi mate,

Very curious, you seem to have done everything correctly. Just one thought you are running the GWX version and not the WAC version of the mod?.

Otherwise I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. If I have any thoughts I'll gladly post them here. Thanks for trying the mod and good luck.

Best Regards

I really appreciate the time you've given this, Aces. Yes I am running the GWX version. Bit of a mystery, but never mind, I'm off for a career in the Med next. Perhaps we can get a later version working if you do one.
