nisen Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Hey im using the 1.5.24.0 version of Skyrim and have no idea if its set to use 4GB memory, Ive got 8GB installed but the game never uses more than 1.5GB and most of the time only about 900MB and thats with alotof high res textures but thought the game was now patched to be LAA ive even tried manually patching it with this 4GB patch discussed here where its suggested the game wasnt actually patched to be LAA and manually patching it corrects that, but not sure what version of the game they were talking about (latest as of April3) or what exactly they mean 'works', are you sapposed to see the TESV.exe in task manager using upto 4GB instead of less than 2?

fms1 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) It should still be (I'm on 1.4.21), I use this Elys MemInfo, works great. And the 4gb is in virtual memory, not actual physical memory. EDIT: The MemInfo will tell VM PF and FPS Edited April 27, 2012 by fms1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisen Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 hey fms1, soo, how dyou tell if its patched or not? and i dont understand the connection with virtual memory. Yea ive considered trying the MemInfo mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fms1 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If you use MemInfo it will tell how much virtual memory you are using for Skyrim. Virtual mem. is installed (or physical) ram + page file, meaning Skyrim will use a little more or less than 2gb of physical ram and the rest is in your page file.

nisen Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 ok i just tried Meminfo but nothing shows up, i run the game with skse, and also dont have a print screen key (or know what the equivlant is on this kb)... and not sure what to do to change it to number lock like it says you can. Atm im guessing the toggle key needs to be pressed for the onscreen readout to show up so just to get this straight, if its 4GB enabled, its just the virtual memory thatll be 4096 like in the screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fms1 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) To change to number lock change iKey=144 and make sure bUseScrollLock=1 in the ini., and yes the VM will show 4096 for 4gb LAA. Edited April 27, 2012 by fms1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisen Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) excellent, it works, so i checked both sets of exes the ones i apparently patched and the the normal ones (skse_loader.exe and TESV.exe) and both sets show 4096 virtual memory proving the 1.5.24.0 is officially LAA, nice one thanks for helping work it out :) Edited April 27, 2012 by nisen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
