Soulstorm 500MB Memory Optimization Mod - Performance Boost Guide

Welcome to the optimized 500MB version of my Soulstorm mod! This mod has been reworked for smoother gameplay, improved stability, and reduced memory fragmentation, allowing you to enjoy Dawn of War: Soulstorm like never before.

Key Features:
Custom Memory Pool: Replaces default memory allocations with a custom 500MB pool, reducing memory fragmentation and providing better control over allocations in the game’s 32-bit environment.
Reduced Stuttering: Faster memory allocation and deallocation result in smoother gameplay and less stuttering during intense moments.
Extended Stability: Custom memory management minimizes memory leaks, reducing the risk of crashes during extended play sessions.
Why 500MB?
The 500MB memory pool provides an extra reserve within Soulstorm’s 2GB limit, specifically optimized for the game’s data. This additional buffer reduces the load on the game’s main memory allocation, leading to a smoother experience, especially for larger battles.

Installation Instructions:
Download the modded executable from [ModDB link] (insert link here).
Backup your original Soulstorm.exe.
Replace the existing Soulstorm.exe with the modded version.
Launch the game as usual.
Enjoy a smoother, more stable experience in Soulstorm, especially during extended battles. Let me know in the comments how it’s performing for you!

Happy gaming!

Here's why your modified .exe may have been flagged:

Heuristic Detection: Heuristic analysis is used to identify unusual behavior, such as allocating custom memory pools or modifying specific low-level calls. Since these actions are also common in some malware, the AV might misinterpret them as suspicious.

File Size and Structure Changes: Adding a custom memory pool and modifying calls to allocate/deallocate memory can change the file size and binary structure. The changes can make your .exe appear "unfamiliar" to antivirus databases, sometimes triggering the generic flags like "Trojan.Heur!" or "Malware.SwollenFile!".

No Cloud Verification: Since your file doesn’t undergo cloud verification, AVs can only rely on local definitions and heuristics, which are less accurate than cloud-based assessments that reference more comprehensive databases.
