Wrapper for NTCore's 4GB patching tool. Aimed to automatically patch Tiberium Wars, Kane's Wrath, and Red Alert 3.
Description:
This is a wrapper for NTCore's 4GB patching tool. Since a lot of people don't know how to properly apply the 4GB patch to Tiberium Wars, Kane's Wrath, and Red Alert 3, I decided to make a wrapper for it that automatically patches these games upon selection. Should work for Disk, Steam, and Origin copies.
Original 4GB patching tool made by NTCore (aka Daniel Pistelli). This tool makes 32bit applications use more of their 32bit memory address space. Normally, they are restricted to using 2GB of the total 4GB of memory space that they reserve for themselves--this fixes that. The 4GB patch is also a necessity when trying to load large, memory-intensive mods for a 32bit game (kinda like the Large Address Aware tool).
Banner graphics on the left side of the patcher was made by Discord user Hartzheim#3896 's girlfriend. Many thanks for the custom artwork :)
All rights reserved.
Games that this works with:
- Tiberium Wars (v1.09)
- Kane's Wrath (v1.02)
- Red Alert 3 (v1.12)
Where to install it ?
Nowhere; it's just a wrapper for NTCore's 4GB patch tool (as stated at the beginning of the description). It doesn't install anything.
It checks if you have TW, KW, and/or RA3 installed, asks you to pick which of the three games you would like to patch, then uses the 4GB patch tool that it has inside of itself to patch your games automatically.
Run, tell it what to patch, done.
Thank you !
No prob :D

Dose it also solve the (exception in exception handler error) for CNC:3,Kanes Wrath downloaded via torrent
I am unsure; I believe that error is due to either outdated graphics drivers, wrong compatibility settings when running on a newer OS, or the lack of the proper DirectX 9.0c files needed by the game.
However, it could also be due to your game being torrented--there's no telling what repackers/crackers do to the game's files while in their possession. I highly suggest you get a legit copy of the game--either from Origin (preferably The Ultimate Collection to get all of the games cheaply) or Steam.
Not saying all of this to judge you for pirating the game--that's all on you; and this is just my take on it all. And due to EA's TOS, as well as me being affiliated with C&C:Online's support staff, I can't help you any further due to me knowing that you have a pirated copy of the game.
Thanks bro you helped a lot stay cool
Thanks homeboy for the help and not judging a guy
Try to keep up the good work
salve io ho scaricato origin e d ho comprato i due command e conquer 3 ho windows 10 e ho scaricato directx9 ecc ma nulla non mi avvia il gioco mi arriva sempre lo stesso messaggio riguardo directx e di controllare il pannelo di controllo per abilitare l'accelerazione hardware nel caso fosse disabilitata. datemi una mano please
Ah, this tool doesn't address the DirectX issue; but you can try one of two things:
1) Download and install the DirectX 9.0c Runtime that the game uses; you can get that from me here: Mega.nz
2) Setting your game to run in windowed mode using the -win parameter
If you'd like a visual representation of step 2, shoot me a message on Discord: Medstar#1550

Hi, can I run on MAC OS?
I do not believe so, as I think I compiled this installer as 32bit; and its accompanying tool that NTCore created I believe was also compiled as 32bit.
Latest version of MAC OS does not support 32bit applications sadly, unless you're using Bootcamp or a virtual machine running Mojave.
cool this will be useful for my pc that have 16 gb ram but doesn't use it lmao

It always showes cant enter executable what doe that mean?
If you can, send me a screenshot of what you're seeing on Discord: Medstar#1550
The patch is not running , I don't know what is the problem,, It shows me a message couldn't open executable!
The installer doesn't see RA3 as installed, very likely because I'm running it in Linux under Proton, is there any alternative way to do this?
You can grab NTCore's 4GB patcher, which is what this tool uses in the background of things. You can grab it here: Ntcore.com
To use it, launch it, then use the File Explorer window that pops up to select your ra3_1.12.game file within your game's installation directory.

did you solve this issue i have it too
Send me a screenshot to my Discord
hi i insteal the phatcher cant understand how on the genrals mod?
Hey there, by "Generals Mod", I'm assuming GenEvo? If so, it should work the same, as it simply patches your game's ra3_1.12.game file to use more memory. Just launch it normally, then go through the steps it details :)
why its erroring
Erroring in what way?
couldn't open executable
That's strange; what OS are you using, and what antivirus are you using?
did you solve this issue i have it too

i have the same issue.
You need to use 7zip or an equivalent unpacker to extract the file and get the installer executable.
Question Why am I downloading a notepad file instead of a Zip file? Pls help thank you
i'm getting the same issue and sad the author hasn't replied yet.
It's a 7zip file. You need to use either 7zip or I believe WinRAR to extract the exe from the .7z file archive.
I keep getting an error, saying there's no app for it and it's like uhhh what?
Did you get the download link or is it permanently gone?
It downloaded like it was a notepad and every time i try to open it, it just says no app for this download

What you need to do is install winrar, and then right click the download and extract it. The patcher can then be run by loading it as you would any other software.

wear folder go i install it
Anywhere. It's just uncompressing an installer that you run afterwards. The installer you uncompress should pick up what games you have installed
