SC4Terraformer: Not Enough RAM?

I am working on a huuuuge map with a config size of 128 x 96 small cities, so evidently I run into a couple of errors depending on how I try to load it:

  • If I open the region on startup, I easily reach the window asking me what cities not to terraform but then it just closes, (actually not really, it just runs in the background with no window)
  • If I open the region after I have loaded an existing region (e.g. if berlin is already open) I get an error message saying I don't have enough ram.

It may be understandable that my ram size might not be enough to run it, but my PC build consists of 64 GB on an 8-core processor. Maybe the program is too old and it hasn't figured out how to run on more than a max limit of 16gb? (I dont know how much it takes, that's just my guess). Is there anyway to try to change its settings such that it can use all the ram needed to load such a region?

I would try with the 4Gb patch included with the NAM, as IIRC, SC4Terraformer is a 32-bit executable.

    Lol that was easy, I was having a lot of trouble using the 4gb patch just yesterday running into errors, but apparently it works now! Thanks!
