Clarity on how to install LAA

Yes Bubblehead1980 - "Drive:\YourGameFolder\SH4.exe", not the ico file... if you can't see the file extensions in your version of Windows, choose the first one listed - or change the Windows Folder Options.

I thought I had that in the pdf file in the Support folder... ?? If not, we'll try to update the file for the next release, or maybe do a separate little "Using MultiSH4" pdf or something...

you misunderstand me. i meant that you should add those comments on the Downloads page in Subsim.

this way first time users can read your pearls of wisdom BEFORE they download.

If I've learned anything in my time modding, it's that people don't read.

Just FYI:

The installation of the alternative 4GB Patch is done with a few clicks only, put the '4gb_patch.exe' in your game directory, double-click on it, chose sh4.exe in the same directory, done.


The program will make a backup of your sh4.exe. And needless to say that it does the same thing as LAA.

it says its for SH3, can do any executable (exe) file - let me re-phrase that - any executable file that was written to be LAA (Large Address Aware), which does include SH3 and SH4 exe files... There is also NTCore 4GB Patch. All of them do the same thing, and just flip a couple of bits in the executable file's "header"...

Thanks. I am hoping this will help with ctd issues with vickers officers quarters mod. Mod runs fine without it, will run but had a couple ctd and slow downs on patrol. Such a great addition for immersion, hate to patrol without it.

4g patch won't install to c:/ubisoft/Silent Hunter 4

Tried the NTcore it gives some weird format when it downloads. sigh

There is a lot of documentation in FOTRS and I did read on the LAA. However, it was not exactly clear which .exe you include. I learn quickly and will figure it out but typically the community is helpful, so I asked to save time so can get on patrol. I read it, but I understand some do not.
