The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Googolplex]

2GB is the default for 32 bit apps, but if the Large Address Aware flag is enabled on the executable, it can use whatever the OS isn't using (when on a 32 bit OS, probably around 3GB) or 4GB (when on a 64 bit OS).

That's correct. I already showed how to flag the Amnesia.exe to address the full 4GB instead of 2. This is very easy and can be applied to every exe. But that only makes sense for really big games that require a lot of RAM to cache resources. But to switch to 64-bit is of course, the best method. Today, nobody should use a 32-bit OS, because all CPUs since Pentium 4 HT from 2003 supports 64-bit. And every 64-bit Windows is also 32-bit compatible (no longer 16-bit so you need an installer to setup old games).

I have a question on topic: It is really nice to give us a DRM-free copy on GOG, but what about Humble Store? And is the Steam version also DRM-free? That means can I play SOMA without login at Steam just by applying the Launcher?
