What is the purpose of a 4GB patch pack?

[语淮君]

I saw this patch package and its usage instructions in the game directory, but when I followed the instructions, the game started with an error.
Can anyone tell me why this is, and what is the purpose of a 4GB patch pack? please.

If you mean the 4gb patch mod, that allows Tiberium Wars / Kane's Wrath / Red Alert 3 to take full advantage of its 32bit memory limit (so a full 4gb of your memory); this can help the game run more demanding mods and run somewhat smoother.

Its not strictly necessary if you're not running said mods though, though it can make the game run smoother with more units onscreen.

pretty sure if you are trying to run Generals Evolution mod (or is ti Generals 2 mod?) you definitely need this patch. hope you manage to make it work, I couldn't, and moved on.
