how do allow more ram for borderlands 2 goty

I need to know, as right away

you can have as much RAM as possible, but it won't make much difference.
Borderlands 2 is a 32 bit game. which means it can only access 3.5 GB of RAM.

As Draekus said - the game is a 32 bit game (but that limits it to quit a bit less than 3.5 GB actually).

Anyways - giving a program more memory will not make it run faster or smoother soooo..... If you are thinking that helps with the "out of video memory" error then you are mistaken. That is part of the rendering-engine (an old version of Unreal) and was (partially intentionally) made worse with the HD texture pack.

Yeah, this game needs 64 bit update

You can try to "4gb_patch" utility than allows 32 bit executables to use more than 4 GB. I have tried this tool in "FF10 HD Remaster" and this fixed my memory problems. Link to the tool : https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/ . But as far as I know, you also need to change some lines in games "WillowEngine.ini" config to allow game allocate more memory. Find section with "[MemoryBudgets]" and increase all numbers (the exact numbers depends on your memory).

Bruh this is from 3 years ago , check the date first.

If anyone reading this is having issues with borderlands that you think ram would solve you should instead check out DXVK instead , Vulkan is a much better way of running older games on newer pc's rather than trying to get old direct X to work on new windows.
