Just Cause 2 RAM limit ?

Thread Starter 
hello guys...

as I was playing JC2, it just occurred to me to check out how much does this game benefit from more RAM, as I have added extra 4 GB or RAM, to have a total of 8GB, so I just ran the built-in Dark Tower bench mark test, and when the test finished, to my surprise, as the game displayed my system info, it just showed up 4095 eek.gif so does this mean that it REALLY didn't detect the total RAM ?? eek.gifthinking.gifeek.gif .

32 bit process will be capped at 2 GB by default, and 4 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE set. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

8GBs isn't going to help at all in JC2 anyway.

opps click a little fast without reading yeah this could explain why, but does it show 8gb in taskmanager? like so566


If not then something isnt right, and if it does then apparently that program has a max it can read ram size wise? which would be werid.
