Stmorpheus,

 Fallen Enchantress is Large Address aware and as such it will take full advantage of 4 GB of memory if you have a 64bit system with a 64bit OS

 

If one of the developers reads this I would like to know if it is set to only use a max of 4 GB or can it use 8 or 12 GB of ram if you have a lot of ram available to use. on my computer I have 16 GB of memory so it would be awesome if this game was capable of using more than 4 GB.

No. the game automatically checks this and runs with Large Address aware if you are running 64 bit. Don't believe me check to see if you have pedestrains when you zoom in close, this option is disabled for 32 bit systems.

But they haven't released a 64 bit .exe which I wouldn't mind seeing this with some extra content. Last I heard it was going to be an expansion type thing they may be planning.

A point that us 32-bit users are trying to have undone. Beta had the pedestrians and I never had a problem.

 

The game is essentially 64-bit already. It just dials things back for the 32-bit users.

The file is still 32 bit and so the game would be limited to 4GB on a 64 bit system.
