[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[TheDarkWraith]

Have you tried enabling the 3GB switch (since you run XP 32 bit)? MO takes a HUGE amount of memory from all the new scripts added (and all the files it loads from those scripts).

You mean to make the system see 4 GB instead of 3?
If so - no I didn't do this. Some utility needed?

Made a video of my problem - occurs only when I'm in the bunker


Added: stoainm also recommended me to enable switch and gave some links. Will write later if helps

I must throw in a question about the RAM too. I have win7 64 bit with 6 gb ram. when I installed the game, it gave a notice in yellow that I had only 2 gb ram.I hope it s just a bug.

I can't garantee but probably yes!

This tool gave me warnings about outdated video drivers.
Plus it displayed wrong verisonnumbers for them everytime I installed SH5 and the graphic drivers wheren't outdate a single time.

For this reason, don't belive this tool and would call it a bug!

But you should controll if all of your RAM is shown (control panel -> System and Security -> System, or better CPU-Z ) and apply the 4GB patch to your SH5.exe.

Thx .I have cpu-z (end others) and only place ive seen i ve git 2 gb is in sh5 install....BUT...I read a bit on the program linked and it seem from what I see there that x86 apps in x 64 systems only have to gb virtual memory (out of 4gb ..mine is 6 so maybe thers a 6 gb patch too?) it s getting somewhat technical and I ned to find a place to read more about it.I don t understand the hole picture

It only patches the exe to use more of your RAM, so it doesn't matter if you got 4, 6, 8, or more RAM.
Normaly a 32bit exe can only use 2GB, rest is reserved for the system.

4GB Patch was just a suggestion and not a musthave.

There is no need to patch the sh5.exe with the 4gb patch, the SH5.exe is already compiled by default to use >2gb address space



The patch does nothing else other than set this flag in the fileheader of an exe.
