4GB enabler stopped working after patch

Post » Sun Jul 10, 2011 6:16 am

Hello!

As per title of this thread, since patch 1.4 I cannot use the 4GB enabler anymore.
When I start it, all I get is "Unable to get file information about FalloutNV.exe".
Now, I have the german no-gore version, but until after the patch I never had any problems.
I have since tried using a re-gorified patched exe (don't worry, it's not removing Steams DRM). This didn't help either, while NVSE works now, the 4GB enabler, even the NVSE-compatible version isn't.

I allready checked the AppID, which seems to be right (22380)

Anyone got an idea?

Based on a quick look at the source code, either FalloutNV.exe isn't in the path pointed to by the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV\Installed Path (with the usual modifications of you're running on a 64-bit OS) or you don't have permissions to modify it.

Hm, nothing has changed, except the (auto-)uptdate to 1.4 by Steam.
It's still in the same folder as since I have first installed it on this PC and I have not changed any permissions (it's not in the notorious \programs\ folder either).

It's working now!
I've changed 4GB enabler to "run as administrator" and this worked. No idea why it was necessary all of a sudden.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
