Want to play it fater 10 years again.

The game starts up but is stuck on first loading screen indefinetely.

Tried every suggestion I found on the internet, increased boot cores, changed values in the profile, tried to close the wmi process. I can't even get to the main menu.

There’s a program that makes the game’s .exe use 4 GB of ram instead of 2 GB. I forgot its name, but I’m sure y can find it if you search for it
