bring in a workaround for GFF editor's poor memory management from Krayzie_3334's blog: http://social.bioware.com/11689/blog/707/

New page

The GFF editor is a tool for opening and editing [[GFF]] files, such as savegames. See [[GFF]] for information about the GFF file format.

== Out of memory error ==

The GFF editor that comes with the toolset is not very efficiently programmed, unfortunately. When opening GFF files as small as 7 megabytes or so (which savegames can easily reach) the editor's memory usage can skyrocket above 3 gigabytes and potentially cause the editor to crash.

While the memory usage itself can't be worked around presently (it's an inherent flaw in the editor), it is possible to make the editor less prone to crashing when it reaches such large memory sizes using a trick developed by Krayzie_3334.[http://social.bioware.com/11689/blog/707/]
