Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm

Help removing the 2GB RAM cap by submitting a ticket about this.
well i really want the 2GB limmit gone. and i've submitted tickets about this, i belive if more people submitt they will hopefully change this.
I mean? who would try to cheat the game? its allready a mod game, everyone plays this for the mods and so on.

for those of you who dont know what this is about:^

the games .exe is locked at 2BG ram limmit, witch means that if you pass over 2GB ram(witch it can when u have huuuge armies crashing) the game will automatickly quit and send you a error report saying " temp out of memmory"

there is a way to fix this, but that goes against Steams rules.

Never going to happen

The 2GB limit is a Win32 executable/binary limit and the application would need to be recoded from scratch to become LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE (for a 3GB limit that under 1% of players will understand how to enable) or a x86_64 limitation which would require making all the pointers in the application 64-bit.

There is no easy way to 'fix' this as technically it's not broken, all Win32 executables are limited to 2GB of user address space memory. This isn't a game specific 'problem'... it's mostly MODs gone insane, etc.

You have a lot to learn about the way a Win32 environment works IMHO.

It'd be easier just to recreate the entire game as a x64 executable, with a ~256 GB RAM limitation instead... (which is also not going to happen).
