Bug ID: 54924 Summary: Cannot allocate memory above 3 GB Product: Wine Version: 8.7 Hardware: x86-64 OS: FreeBSD Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ntdll Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: adrien_fernandes2@hotmail.com
Hello,
I don't know if I'll find any answer here but I'm a long time FreeBSD player and used all sorts of tricks to help me play my favourite games on Wine.
So, actually, I built Wine 32-bits myself with zero patch. It builds perfectly as-is and I use the NTCORE 4gb patch to enjoy more games (it's to apply the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE per .exe).
Most of the time, it runs really great but in some games which need more than 3 GB of RAM, the game will just crash saying that it cannot allocate more memory (it's understandable).
Is there a way to allocate more memory to Wine 32-bits ? Increasing the 3 GB to something like 3,5 GB by changing a line in the code?
Thank you very much for your help!

--- Comment #1 from Adrien Fernandes adrien_fernandes2@hotmail.com --- Games affected by this limitation : - The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim Legendary Edition - Hand of Fate 2
I'll add more games to it the more I test my library.

--- Comment #2 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this is a kernel limitation? It's about how the virtual memory is split, usually it's either 2/2 or 3/1. But I didn't hear about 3.5/0.5 yet. IMHO, this is a kernel thing, nothing Wine could change.
