Error codes 12 and 13 along with crashing.
ChilltownNJ:
I am positive he is talking about the original game executable, either ts3.exe (Base Game), Ts3ep01.exe (WA) or TS3SP01.exe (HELS). Depending on what executable you are trying to modify, you need to back it up prior to editing it, because when the time comes to update, you may (will?) not be able to update because the file is not the original file, that the patcher looks for, to continue the update.

Actually, I believe it was in direct response to this:

Tizerist, If your referring to the what the Civ board says to type into CP, he left out something that needs to be typed in also.
On the Civ board it says this
- Now we need to make Windows Vista (32-Bit) ready to support more than 2 GByte.
- Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find it under "Programs->Accessories->Command prompt" click right and select "run as administrator".
- Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" (without quotes) in the command window and press enter.
After that restart windows
- For Windows XP there is a similar setting for the boot.ini, but I am not sure what it is, should be found be google.
He says to type this.... "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" minus the quotes
But he omitted a word which should be typed exactly this way... "bcdedit.exe /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" minus the quotes
At least it's what worked for me.
The .exe refered to is bcdedit. It isn't enough to tell the game to allow the use of more than 2 gigs if the operating system doesn't allow more. Vista 64 apparently allows more RAM to be utilized (once checked with the CFF Explorer), but Vista 32 and XP systems need additional authorization. Reading through the link shows that "/maxmem 3072" allows 3GB to be utilized, but sometimes "/3GB" needs to added as well for XP systems. Note the forum includes a disclaimer NOT to copy and paste over the original line but to just add the change to the end of the line.
ChilltownNJ:
Call me crazy, but why would it refer to bcdedit.exe when that program isn't being patched or edited in any way, shape or form, which wouldn't require it to be backed up? Bcdedit.exe is a cmdline program that modifies the boot information, %systemdrive%\boot\bcd file for Vista and Win 7 systems, it doesn't get modified. The only file being modified by CFF Explorer is the Game Executable, which would need to be modified in order to allow it to process more than 2GB. Also, the switches /Maxmem 3072 and /3GB, in XP, are added to the boot.ini file.
I believe it was more in response to this:

Noenmity, I'm glad you found that thread useful! However, you only need to do the bcdedit command prompt stuff if you're using 32-bit Windows. As you discovered, CFF Explorer by itself didn't have any effect on 32-bit Windows. The bcdedit command prompt stuff is what configures Windows to take advantage of the change you made with CFF Explorer. 64-bit Windows already supports >2GB for programs out of the box so you only need to do the CFF Explorer part.
Also, be sure to backup the original .exe file. If you patch, it will need to find the original file.
I'm confident this is the E12/E13 fix as I never get them anymore and that was the only step I took to try to eliminate them.
But, then again, I could be wrong.

GnatGoSplat, what exe. file are you referring to?
Sorry, I was referring to bcdedit.exe here. Whether you type bcdedit by itself or bcdedit.exe from the command line doesn't matter, as the .exe extension is implied.

I was referring to the TS3.exe (or TS3EP01.exe or TS3SP01.exe) that needs to be backed up, not bcdedit.exe. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry, Chilltown. I read the question as a direct response to the post immediately before it. The linked forum had stressed that one shouldn't copy and paste data over the existing lines, just to add the modifications to the end. So I was thinking of backing up before making a change.
