Skyrim 4GB
==========
by MonochromeWench (the.wench@wenchy.net)

Skyrim4GB is a tool to load SKyrin with the Large Address Aware
executable flag set so the entire 4GB Virtual Memory Address Space can be used
by the game.

This is my 'official' port of my tool that did the same to Fallout NV.

Skyrim4GB is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License
version 2.1. Read the included lgpl-2.1.txt for the terms. Source code is included
with the package. Original binaries compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.


Update History
--------------
1.3

The loader now prints out details of what it is doing.

It also now attempts to check if TESV.exe has been modified. If the exe is
detected as modified it will tell you, instructing you to get Steam to validate
the cache.

The loader will no longer wait for TESV.exe.4gb to exit before it exits itself.

The helper dll will now attempt to hook GetModuleFileNameA, if possible, to
disguise what exe is actually loaded. If that hook fails it will fallback to
the older CreateFileA hook.

1.2

Skyrim4GB will attempt to load the SKSE loader (skse_steam_loader.dll).

Skyrim4GB no longer hooks GetTickCount().

1.1

Made some code changes that 'may' improve things for some people. Now checks
the Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim and Valve\Steam paths for the installation
directory.

Also will now write out a log file to ~\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim4GB.log
that outputs some debugging information that may help track down why it doesn't
work for some people.

If you are getting Steam Application load error 3:0000065432 messages then
please post the log contents to the discussion thread so I can see whats going
on.

Also compiled the new version with Visual Studio 2010. This may or may not make
any difference.


Running
-------
First, make sure Steam is running. Then run Skyrim4GB.exe to launch the game!
You don't even need it in the games directory, just make sure skyrim4gb.exe and
skyrim4gb_helper.dll are together.

If your version of Skyrim is not the standard version with the
SteamAppID of 72850 you need to run Skyrim4gb.exe and specify the actual
SteamAppID on the command line. Example: Skyrim4gb.exe 72850


Technical Details
-----------------

Skyrim4gb.exe performs the following actions

1) Gets the Install Path for the game from the registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim\Installed Path
2) Changes to the games Directory
3) Copies TESV.exe to TESV.exe.4GB if needed
4) Sets the LARGEADDRESSAWARE bit on TESV.exe.4GB if needed
5) Sets the environment variable SteamAPPId to 72850 (or whatever value was
specified on the command line) which tells Steam to run the game (not
restart and load the launcher)
6) Creates a new process for TESV.exe.4GB with the main thread suspended
7) Injects skyrim4gb_helper.dll into the TESV.exe.4GB process
8) skyrim4gb_helper unsets the LARGEADDRESSAWARE bit in the loaded headers so
when steam verifies the loaded executable in memory it passes
9) skyrim4gb_helper hooks the GetTickCount function to attempt to reduce
stuttering
10) skyrim4gb_helper hooks the CreateFileA function so when steam attempts to
verify the disk executable file against the loaded memory it loaes that Large Addresses are enabeles in the
TESV.4gb.exe
12) Skyrim4GB loader unsuspends the main thread so the game can runds the
untouched TESV.exe instead of the modified TESV.exe.4gb
11) The Skyrim4GB loader verifi
