Thanks for the replay. 4gb patches generally only apply to 32bit operating systems, since 64bit can natively address more than 4gb.

Like I said though the stock version runs fine, and so far so good with TMO as well. I've sunk two merchants in my first mission and then only problem i've had so far is that the task of "Patrol the designated area for 5 days" doesn't seem to want to end 10 days later :p

As I understand it, the 2GB limit applies to any 32-bit executable, even in a 64-bit OS environment. Check here for more information:

http://superuser.com/questions/42783...4bit-windows-7

If the exe hasn't been told that there is more than 2GB available, it apparently doesn't ask for it. And SH4 is too old to know about 64-bit OS. RFB changes the sim environment, and can add a lot of objects at times, so I'm told it can require more memory than the stock game. I had CTD problems entering/leaving base with RFB in an 8GB Windows 7 64-bit environment. Used the 4GB Fix and haven't had a recurrence. YMMV.
