How to Allocate More RAM to Steam Games
If your computer doesn’t have enough RAM to run a game on Steam properly, you can allocate more RAM to the game. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open Steam
Start by opening Steam and going to your library. Right-click on the game that you want to allocate more RAM to and select “Properties”.
Step 2: Navigate to the “General” Tab
Once you’re in the “Properties” window, click on the “General” tab. Here, you’ll see a checkbox that says “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”.
Select the checkbox and then select the “Install a tool for this game” option.
Step 3: Install the Tool
Once you select the option, you’ll be taken to a page where you can download the tool. Follow the instructions on the page to install the tool. The tool will allow you to allocate more RAM to the game.
Step 4: Allocate the RAM
Once the tool is installed, open it and select the “Settings” tab. Here, you’ll see options to allocate more RAM to the game. Select the option that best suits your needs and then save your changes.
Step 5: Launch the Game
Finally, launch the game. The game should now run smoothly with the extra RAM allocated to it.
- Make sure you have enough RAM to run the game with the extra RAM allocated to it.
- If the game is still lagging, try allocating more RAM.
- Try reducing the game’s graphics settings if you’re still having performance issues.
Allocating more RAM to your Steam games can help your computer run the games smoothly. Follow the steps above to allocate more RAM to Steam games for better performance.
