Hi there,
can someone tell me if the mac os x version of grimrock 2 is a 32 bit or 64 bit application? Then does it have the same memory restriction than the windows version?
mac os log2 version
Re: mac os log2 version
32-bit OSX gives all applications 3 GiB of address space. 64-bit OSX gives all 32-bit applications 4 GiB of address space.
Windows gives all 32-bit applications 2 GiB of address space, unless they have the large address aware flag enabled, in which case they get 4 GiB of address space. grimrock2.exe doesn't have the large address aware flag enabled, but I have enabled it myself and not encountered any problems; you might want to do that. (Recent 32-bit applications are almost always large address clean, since nobody does things like storing data in the uppermost bit of a pointer anymore.)
Of course, since this involves changing the executable (even if it's just a single bit), it might not work for the Steam version, and might stop future patches from working. So please keep a backup of the original executable if you do this.
