You dont need to patch SH5.exe with a 4gb patch. Yes the program is already large address aware.

But if you use a 32bit operating system. You will need to tell your operating system to use more than 2gb.


From the readme file of SH5.

5.2 Enabling 3GB switch on Windows XP or Windows Vista

Advanced users may know that the virtual address space of processes and applications is still limited to 2 GB unless the /3GB switch is used. Activating this option in Windows greatly enhance Silent Hunter 5 performance.
WARNING.

I take no responsibility for loss of data or damage to your pc.

Read the whole thread before trying this as a simple typo can mean your pc will no longer boot. And only do this if you feel confident and understand what you are doing.
