Issues fixed

Low Memory Crash

The game executable has a hard coded memory limit of 1 GB, with large maps this can causes poor performance and crashes. As most systems have significantly more RAM in them, it is possible to expand that limit to utilize all available memory.

Download this executable and replace the RailRoads.exe file in the game directory. If you downloaded the game from Steam, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's railroads
