Reference bump. I had the same problem, same situation. So if I follow everything, it's a memory managent/ 4GB patch issue?

I'm running GWX3.0 w/o MFM and it runs great, but when it was loaded(mfm) the game would crash at the load screen.

I'm on win7 home. I guess I need to look up how much RAM I have when I get home.

I have a similar issue. Windows XP and only 2GB of RAM, but I was running the lite version, so the memory shouldn't be an issue.

Unfortunately, memory probably is the issue. It's unlikely that you would be able to run the full MFM with only 2 gigs of RAM total on your system.

The lite version adds far fewer ships and requires less RAM to load/run. The MFM requires a lot more memory, usually 3 gigs and up total for the system plus application of the 4GB patch to allow the game to access more of whatever the rest of the system isn't already using. That's on a 64-bit system where Windows doesn't automatically limit the amount of RAM set aside for non-system apps to 2 gigs anyway.

Hi everyone. I know this question was asked many times but could someone direct me to Merchant Fleet Mod light version working link? All previous seem to be dead.

Thanks Plisken04. Could you tell me yet, what the difference between MFM Interim Beta and that one of Beta 4.1 is?

I don't think the site likes me because I put in the password and it worked for 1 minute and then asked for it again every second even if I put the right one in.

Is there a working download in this thread somewhere that doesn't involve using this site?? But thanks anyway.
