to test I just installed it on win7 64bit and it run as well as it does on xp32bit, the large addressaware flag is to use more ram to prevent the game from crashing due to ram space limits ie 2gb ram data space per process. yes it one of the games that I run when I am tired of sins, so I think it is fun, and moderratly challenging, but I do not know about the multiplayer side, so I am not going to state anything about it harpo

just some further info the utility is designed and restricted to updating the ENTITY files with the changes from an earlier version to a later version WITHIN the same expansion eg sins 1.15 > sins 1.16 > sins 1.17 XOR entrenchment 1.00 > entrenchment 1.01 > entrenchment 1.02 > entrenchment 1.03, and can NOT update mods from BEFORE sins 1.15 because there is no practical way for the program to know which set of instructions would be needed to update a mod from sins 1.01-
