🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you run the patcher as administrator, or it might not apply correctly.
After patching, verify the Large Address Aware flag is set by checking the game's executable properties or using a tool like CFF Explorer.
If you use a mod manager like FOMM or Vortex, apply the patch after installing mods to ensure it sticks.
