Utilities
Performance increase with the "4GB patch" on systems with at least 3GB RAM
- It is a good idea to backup the executable before patching even though the 4GB Patch program makes a backup itself.
- Make sure your game is fully patched before applying the 4GB Patch.
- Avoid playing multiplayer with this patch enabled because it might get you banned if the server has anti-cheat protection.
Increase User Memory for use on 32-bit operating systems[2] |
