there is a large number of sources claiming that ut2004 is limited to using 1 gb and recommending to install the large address aware patch, in order to to raise it to 3 gb (32-bit OS w/ 3 gb switch) or 4 gb (64-bit OS): https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/la … s-aware.112556/

however, where is this supposed 1 gb limit that everybody talks about coming from? the normal limit for a 32-bit process is 2 gb. i've seen the game process use up to 1.3 gb with heavy mods and not crash. and surely if it somehow were to be coded to limit itself to 1 gb, the LAA flag wouldn't affect that anyway?

is this simply a piece of misinformation that got repeated by everyone? i'm also not sure if modding the .exe like that would play well with anticheat checks, although it seems to be common practice by now.
