Large memory address ???

Hello shipmates. i was just now installing some new, (new to me), mods i found on Wolfpack345's mod list.
(His current campaign in FOTRS in the S-Boat)
Anywho...
in DrJesters environmental overhaul V1.0 it is strongly recommended i enable or use a mod called LARGE MEMORY ADDRESS AWARE or LAA.exe but i do not know where this mod exists, or if im just dumb...
How to i enable or implement this?
Can someone post a link or give me some instructions?
:hmmm:

That, is because... Large Address Aware, or LAA as some call it... isn't a mod.

It's an app or program that tells your computer that... 'hey, dummy, this game is able o utilize more than 2 gb of ram, it is capable to handle up to 4, so assign the .exe 4 gb of ram.'

Can find a copy to d/l (can install generally any where, (after you unzip it... that is. :hmmm: almost forgot to mention that part... :oops:) where I installed it is in My C:\Games folder, so I know right where it is... an alternate locality, is desktop... as another place for that same reason) here:

Scroll down to the section marked, 'attachments' & grab the 1st 1 on the left hand side.

After you install it... LAA is a relatively easy 3 step process to do... just point it to where the sh4.exe is, check the box & click ok or accept & pretty much done.

Eazy peezy, mac & cheezy... So easy, a cave man could do it... :haha: :har: :D sorry, My weird sense of humor showing up.. :D

Hope this info helps... :shucks: :yep: :up:

Thank you both very much! And im happy to be back. I'm so rusty its like ive never done this. Can't wait to step back onto the conning tower of an S-Boat.

If you download FotRSU, all you will "need" is 7-Zip to extract the mod archive. LAA and MultiSH4 are included in the mod download, since LAA is necessary to run FotRSU. :salute:

Huh... I missed noticing that LAA, was indeed in there... :oops:

To be frank, have been overly more used to having to keep track of that through searching google for it... :shucks:

nice to see it was thought of, to be included in with the main mod... :up:
