i mean /3GB and /USERVA

interesting, eso.exe compilated with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE or not?

I used /3GB when I still used windows. AFAIK /LARGEADDRESSAWARE is just a flag, so if the .exe was compiled without it, you can edit its PE header, set the flag, and it will work.
http://www.heaventools.com/PE-file-header_viewer.htm -> Characteristics -> 0x0020
edit: I checked eso.exe and it does have the flag
Characteristics 0x122
executable
large address aware
32 bit words
edit 2: oh and btw, I'm playing on linux and eso.exe happily consumes 3.5GB of memory, at which point it freezes. So yes, it definitely knows how to use 3GB
