SFM and Ram Issues
« on: June 16, 2014, 04:21:32 am »

SFM crashes whenever it reaches 1GB of ram used. I don't know why it's limited to 1GB, but I wish to remove the limit.
Computer Specs before someone yells I don't have enough ram.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
8GB Ram
AND FX-4170 Quad-Core Processor 4.2 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 6670

regedit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Session Manager Memory Management -> PagedPoolSize -> ffffffff

afterwards create a new key, a dword value, name it PoolUsageMaximum, enter 00000028 as value

make a backup of the registry beforehand and don't shout at me if it breaks shit tia

That didn't seem to fix it.
Proof I followed directions correctly.
