oc3 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Does anyone have a good idea what the optimal number would be to enter into the memory variable in the ini file? Running Vista 64 bit. I'm thinking that around 5GB would be the most I should set it at, but will it even use it all or is there a max that the engine can access? I may not need that much, but I want to make sure it never uses the swap file.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmeniusLOD Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Oblivion is a 32-bit program. Even with the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag enabled it will never use more than 4GB of memory. Edited May 18, 2011 by ArmeniusLOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just download, start the .exe, and that's it. You'll probably notice a fantastic difference afterwards; I sure did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmeniusLOD Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 If you have any form of Visual Studio (including express editions) you can do it simply yourself. Run the VS command prompt as an administrator, navigate to the folder the executable you're editing is in, and enter "editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE Oblivion.exe" or whatever other executable you want to enable this flag on. For me the command prompt is located in All Programs->Microsoft Visual Studio 2005->Visual Stuido Tools->Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt. You have to make a backup because editbin directly modifies the executable without making one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
