Ok, first of all - I didn't figure this "tweak" out, so props goto the orginal forum, and guys who created it here - Vista games optimising - nV News Forums

Second of all - this "fix" alters the game EXE file, so backup your original .EXE file before doing this for future patching requirements

This example is done with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.


What this "fix" does is quite simple.

Vista uses 4gb of Virtual Memory and it changes Vista from using 2gb, and the application (game in this instance) using 2gb, to the application using 3gb and vista using 1 gb.

From what I've read in the afore mentioned thread, it's got a higher success rate in Vista64 then it does in Vista32.


Check it out, and have fun with new found performance in Vista

anyone found any thing like this for MOH:A?

Hi af01waco, welcome to the PCHF...sorry for the delay in response to this.

This method can be used for all games, STALKER is just the example.
If it doesn't work for you, just ensure all drivers and game patches are up to date...MoH:AA isn't a very resource hungry game...so if you're having trouble running it, there may be another problem somewhere.

I'm not a VISTA user, just bought a New Machine in XP

But I do believe there is a Compatability Mode which allows you to mimic XP, so the game starts

Is this only for 4gb of ram or less? I have 2gb, would it do anything for me?

EDIT: I just went through everything and the App can handle 2gb box was already checked.
