Skyrim 1.4GB ram limits

[Shitgut]

Hi folks,

 

This may be a commonly asked question, but I find TESV.exe never really exceeds 1.4GB in RAM usage.

 

I know it's possible that's all it needs but my game is patched and modded up - I think it should be well over 2GB...is there some ini option I've not set correctly? Perhaps it's still stuck on only 2GB?

Have you tried to update your game properly? Or reverify your game cache via Steam? The game uses 3.2 GB of RAM (which is the real hard-coded limit) and I've tested mine to see if it's true, and I've found it to work just fine.

 

Try verify your game cache and resetting your ini files by deleting them first (make a backup of your ini files first, just in case).

maybe you run on a 32bit OS and;

- just have 2GB of memory total

- you have Vista! yippy... you need to look into the bcdedit command

bcdedit /set increaseuserva 3072

 

increaseuserva Megabytes

Specifies the amount of memory, in megabytes, for user-mode virtual address space. This variable can have any value between 2048 (2 GB) and 3072 (3 GB) megabytes in decimal notation. Windows uses the remaining address space (4 GB minus the specified amount) as its kernel-mode address space.

Or, you run on an old or cracked version of the game. In that case - update your game on steam, or if pirated: goodluck.
