UNOFFICIAL 32 BIT OS FIX
If you are unable to load the game with a 32 bit Computer, Here is an unofficial but working fix you can do manually.

DISCLAIMER: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN EDITING THESE FILES, DOING SO INCORRECTLY CAN CAUSE ISSUES TO YOUR COMPUTER. DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU AREN'T COMPLETELY SURE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO IT.

ENDNIGHT GAMES HOLDS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ISSUES CAUSED BY THIS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

So for a lot of 32bit systems with 4 gb of ram, the system might not be using the full 4gb required for the game. This can be resolved by manually changing the amount of ram your system uses.

Here are the steps:

1) Click Start and search 'regedit'

2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems\

3)Double click on Windows file in right pane. (Here is the image provided for step 3) http://puu.sh/9wR8W/97b42b5ebb.jpg)

4)In Value data field scroll left or right using the arrow keys until you find this:

SharedSection=1024,3072,512.

5)Change 3072 into 4096 so it reads: SharedSection=1024,4096,512
(If you have SharedSection=1024,12228,512. change it from 12228 to 24300)

6) Open Command Prompt and type "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 4096"

7) Restart PC

For some people, you'd be surprised :P Just making sure it's clear that it isn't our fault if they go and mess something up.

Don't change anything if you don't know. I use 64 bit and this was not my own find, so I will need to ask them.

The way it is said in the tutorial is how it is supposed to be done. Like I said I don't know anything more than that, I'm just the one posting this as a pinned topic as I was asked.

You need to use higher permissions on cmd.exe, Administrator.
