Patches

Utilities

Performance increase with the "4GB patch" on systems with at least 3GB RAM

It is a good idea to backup the executable before patching even though the 4GB Patch program makes a backup itself.
Make sure your game is fully patched before applying the 4GB Patch.
Avoid playing multiplayer with this patch enabled because it might get you banned if the server has anti-cheat protection.

Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/41700/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (41700) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
