If you suffer from crashes and you have a 64bit system, this may help.

Hello there chaps!

It's your friendly neighbourhood potatodude here with a public service announcement.

So you suffer from periodic crashing? Then read on!

RTW has been out for a number of years now and at the time it was only designed to be able to use a maximum of 2 gigs of ram as per the restrictions of windows XP and the 32 bit operating system therein.

With the highly modified and substantially more taxing use of custom scripts for EB, it uses a lot more ram. As a consequence, once we go over the 2 gig threshold... BAM. Crash.

The answer is to make EB "Large Address Aware".

This is what is required...

1. DL CFF Explorer from here http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php and install it.

2. Locate your EB executable.

3. Right click on your .exe file and select "Open with CFF Explorer" in the drop down box.

4. You should now be faced a screen with a selection of expandable headings down the left hand side and an info tab on the right.

5. From the left hand side of the expandable headings you need to select "File Header" under "Nt Headers"

6. You should now see a table with "Member, Machine, NumberOfSections" etc in the left hand column. What you want is "Characteristics"

7. On the very right hand side highlighted in blue will be a "click here"

8. Click it.

9. It will bring up a list of tick boxes. Look down the list until you find "App can handle >2gb address space"

10. Tick it. Press Okay and then go to File, save and exit.




Enjoy playing EB.

Like a BOSS.


Cheers.
