I tried it on my rig. No changes in fps. (intel dual core 6750; 4Gb RAM; AMD 6970, Win7-64)
-
I’ll run BMS with this change and the koreaobjects file from Red Flag, which I also changed out
I’ll update if I see some changes.

Thanks for the tip RPG. My laptop runs BMS very smooth but there are those times where I get stutters occasionally. I’ll give it a try.
Good day!

Okay, checked it out. No improvement where I need it; in the campaign. I have a somewhat old Hyperthreading P4. I also tested adding -cpucount=2 -exThreads=3 to fool BMS into thinking I have two cores. When in a TE, Dogfight, instant action, or as a client on someone else’s machine who is running a campaign, I get 25 to 30 frames. This is acceptable. When I run a campaign myself however Falcon only delivers about 12 frames throughout the flight. Doesn’t matter if I’m on the ground or flying. Any solutions for the slowness of the campaign engine would be nice. This didn’t do the trick. I’m afraid I have to resort to shutting down all the shaders to decently run a campaign. (I have already disabled heat blur, shadows and watermapping)

Just in any case I believe the Dev’s should enable this in the next Update by default to the executable… or whatever files that need this.

Even if you extend the header to use a larger memory space, wouldn’t the code still have to be optimized for it to be of any use?
BMS coders would have compiled using the “/largeaddressaware” if it was really any use to the executable, as Sthalik mentioned.
Another tool which does this type of mod to executables is ntcore : http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php but as mentioned, I’ve always taken these header hacks with a grain of salt.

It’s utterly pointless to do what this topic syas. For Visual Studio users, there’s editbin /largeaddressaware which caps to 3 GB. But BMS uses so little RAM (not VRAM), that it doesn’t matter, really.
The overall positive comment seems to be about smoothness. I wonder if there is less use of of virtual memory (hard drive) after this tool used.

My Computer has more RAM, etc… I hope it will run excellent.Excuse me my mother language is german
