NTA Mod (English version)

[Flanker15]

 
I was right, fixed it!
Assuming you have 4Gb or more system ram and running 64bit OS
Turn off compatibility mode on Shell.exe and Starter.exe
Download this http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php
Run it on Shell.exe and Starter.exe
The game can now use 4GB of ram instead of the 32bit 2GB limit.

What this does is opens up 2GB of virtual memory on top of the 2GB of ram a x86 program gets,  it's called Large address aware if you want to read up on it.

Obviously NTA mod was starting to push the 2GB limit.

[frinik]

This is great stuff does this program apply across the board with all games/programs?

[Flanker15]

Depends, it can crash older programs that can't handle a 4GB address but people have used it for things like WoW or BF2 for ages.

You can make 32bit OS use it too but its harder since it's not just a flag in the exe like 64bit OS.

Obviously NTA mod was starting to push the 2GB limit.

Oo-o-ps. I didn't think abt so complicate things with NTA mod  I may sincerely announce, nobody force NTA mod to 2Gb limit.

Anyway, if we have solution how to get over "shader error" then let's make Q/A and I'll place it in the appropriate topic.
Flanker15 u're promoted to the Master-Sargent and we are waiting "A/Q" format of the problem resolving!

[Flanker15]

Problem:  Game crashes while loading giving a shader error or no error at all on some missions with certain mods or high graphics settings.
Cause:  Game is using more than its 2GB memory address, modern high res displays combined with a lot of extra content added in the mods can use more than 2Gb!
Solution:  Allow the games exe to be large address aware which gives it 2GB of virtual memory on top of its 2GB address.  Requires a 64bit OS and more than 3GB physical memory and the systems swap space not disabled.
Turn off compatibility mode on Shell.exe and Starter.exe (this is just a precaution, you can try turning it back on after but I needed to leave it off),
Download this program  http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php (or any large address aware patcher),  
Run the program on Shell.exe and Starter.exe,
Done!  Try the mission again to see if it still crashes.

Note: You should do this fix even if you don't have crashing since you'll never know when you'll run into it.

here is example for the topic A/Q. Does it suit?
Q. Sometimes I have code 006 shader error while loading or no error at all on some missions with certain mods or high graphics settings. How to get rid off this error?

One little bug which I may have found in the March Update which I forgot to report:
/Thompson gun
THOMPSON,%FL_AUTOLOAD%,%WEAP_HANDGUN%,17,10,1,0.25,0.5,1,30,0.15,4,1,1,0,shot_tompson2,,reload_mp38,drop1,5,txt_hgun_tommy,mgun_shot_pat,thompson,BUL_45ACP;
//M36_gun Jackson, M26 gun

Isn't Thompson is misspelt( shot_tompson2) which means that that weapon is mute in game!

Error fixed! Now the entry has:
//Thompson gun
THOMPSON,%FL_AUTOLOAD%,%WEAP_HANDGUN%,17,10,1,0.25,0.5,1,30,0.15,4,1,1,0,shot_thompson*,,reload_mp38,drop1,5,txt_hgun_tommy,mgun_shot_pat,thompson,BUL_45ACP;

Would be nice to get such tank in SF and then it'll be possible to recreate the battle El Alamein.

[Txema]

Crusader... Isn't it?

[frinik]

Yes it is.I fon't know why but the Crusader always reminds me of the M24 Chaffee which also would be nice to have on the US side as it was used quite a bit....

[lockie]

I think Crusader MKII with 40mm gun would be fine.

Would be nice to get such tank in SF and then it'll be possible to recreate the battle El Alamein.

I guess she was the star of the El Alamein.

[lockie]

I guess she was the star of the El Alamein.

You're right! It slipped out of my mind. Means, we've to wait when all necessary tanks will be ready for the El Alamein battle!

PS
AFAIK, there were two battles at El Alamein? I mean, we can use "Crusader" for the early battle.

PS
Meanwhile Western front is about to receive a new building. I suppose that this house will be good as a building for the railroad station as well. It looks quite OK. Though 16 meters length is not good for the techniks. Also I'm thinking to remove the second floor and make a new building as alternative station. Still hesitating. The main problem is how to destroy this house? There should be some interior inside. Means - to make destroyable model of such BIG building is not easy thing.

This operation had place in Austria, May 1945.
