This will allow you to set a new maximum RAM usage. The default is capped around 750 MB. Note: 2 GB is the max, so don't bother allocating anything beyond that because the client won't use it.

This setting will not make much difference for un-modified clients. BUT if you have mods, you will want to use that extra RAM.

Right-click the "My Computer" icon (Computer in Vista/Win7)
Choose "Properties" from the context menu
Click the "Advanced" tab ("Advanced system settings" link in Vista/Win7)
Click the "Environment Variables" button
Under the "System variables" section, click new
Enter SWGCLIENT_MEMORY_SIZE_MB in the "Variable name" field and amount of memory to use (1024 for 1 gig) in the "Variable value" field
Click OK

Then in game, open the debug window with CTRL+SHIFT+G, the new value should be displayed properly in megabytes.

Essentially, the most ideal method would be to update the source to match standardized hardware.

Code:Select All static void SetDefaultMemoryManagerTargetSize() { int megabytes = 0; MEMORYSTATUS memoryStatus; GlobalMemoryStatus (&memoryStatus); megabytes = ((memoryStatus.dwTotalPhys / 4) * 3) / (1024 * 1024);

// clamp it between 250 and 2000 MB in production, 750 in dev environments
if (megabytes < 250)
    megabytes = 250;

#if PRODUCTION == 0 if (megabytes > 750) megabytes = 750; #else if (megabytes > 2000) megabytes = 2000; #endif

MemoryManager::setLimit(megabytes, false, false);
