Would you recommend this tool? (4GB Patcher)
On a game I want to play i saw a guide and some forums for it talking about this to help performance of the game, has anyone tried this and would you recommend it also is it safe? https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371

well, i personally wouldn't download that. IF you want 32 bit program to use more than the 2gb ram, its likely easy to find "do it yourself" solution, than let someone else's program tweak your computer settngs.

I've used that before a long time ago for some older games to run with more ram. Just run your virus scanner on it first to be sure it's okay.

I've used something similar with Fallout New Vegas, but it was a patcher specifically for that game, and it was safe. Not sure about whatever this one is.

Are you still using a 32-bit Operating System... or game/app (without a 64-bit version available)?

Check under: Start > Run/Search > Type "msconfig.exe" (without the quotes) and select from the list. Then under that Windows configuration tool, check the "Boot" tab for your Operating System. Select it and go under "Advanced Options". Is maximum memory ticked there? If so, is it lower than the RAM you have? If so, untick it and then ok back out, reboot. Done.

You shouldn't need any third party app tool to 'patch' over an original EXE just to adjust it's memory. That's really old and probably not required, just high risk of injecting whatever code they want to run on top of it (like a virus or possible breaking copyright protection on some games for thinking it's a crack/modified EXE, etc).

How would one go about doing this? I'm playing a Mount and Blade mod where a runtime error is casing the mod to consume way more RAM than the core game can incorporate. The only fix on modmd is this patch. It doesn't help that i dont know a lot about computers.

i use it a lot on old games. i think it shines if you use mods to avoid it hit the limits. you can trust it. it's usually called large address aware and it's from techpowerup (i think so based on google search)
