Large Address Aware (4gb patch). Patch your medieval2.exe and kingdoms.exe, and only do it once. It will make all heavy mods work and be more stable. Without the patch you may experience a lot of crashes.
This small program will solve the problem of crashes from the game due to lack of RAM (mainly crashes on the AI move but sometimes it happenes in battle).
This is true for mods on M2TW, in exe-files of which there is a limitation on the use of more than 2 GB of RAM.
This program may not work on exe files of very old games (pre-2000).
IMPORTANT :
• If you downloaded the Game + mod assembly, then you do not need to do anything with this program.
• If you downloaded the mod separately and you have a pirate version of the game, it is best for you to download and install the patched executable from the link: Disk.yandex.ru
• If you have a Steam version, then you need to copy medieval2.exe and rename it to kingdoms.exe and patch these two executables (see installation instructions)
Operating instructions:
1) Open the folder with the installed M2TW Kingdoms game and make a backup copy of the medieval2.exe and kingdoms.exe files.
2) Launch the Large Address Aware program and in the first line 'Select an Executable' open the kingdoms.exe file in the game folder.
3) Set the checkbox in the activated second line to remove the memory limit.
4) Click the Save button to commit the changes.
5) If everything went well, the message `` The update has been performed successfully '' will appear.
* Do the same with medieval2.exe.
Launch the mod and enjoy the game without crashes.
IMPORTANT :
• It is not recommended to use this utility if your system has less than 3 GB of RAM.
• You must have .NET Framework 3.5 or higher in your OS.

Run the program find the exe in the folder you installed click mark the 4GB Thing and submit close you be done. It pretty straight forward.
