"Bad Memory allocation"

[LeHam]

I'm trying to run the Giant Earth Mod's 1860 scenario, but the game says it doesn't have enough memory, or has bad memory allocation. Is there any way to allow CivIV to utilize more memory that I have available. I think I have 3 or 4 gigabytes, but I heard that it only uses 2GB unless you tell it otherwise.

If you have 32bit OS try the following:

If you only have 3GB you will not gain much by this, and it might even be dangerous (The OS needs about half a Gig for itself, and some Video drivers also need some space).. You can of course try, but i'd proceed with caution (to it in such a way that you have a fallback entry in the boot.ini without the switch).

With 4GB / 32bit OS go ahead, afaik the /3GB config change is definitely recommended in that case.

64 bit is the way to go ... as you get 4 GB with BTS
