Unable to run any map larger than 55000x55000

Hi all, you can see my problem in the title lol, im trying to create a large map for my own game, basically a map that is large enough that i can cut out a section of the map for each race and then allow them to chash at the borders / invasions ect.

The problem i get is after 55000x55000 the maps refuse to launch in instant action, however in the map editor i can increase the size to around 500000x500000 before the editor becomes unstable.

The error i get is "Access violation at address 00426FFE in module 'Armada2.exe'. Read address 00160000."

I have read that this could be an issue with the maps save location however it seems to persists where ever the map is.

I had read in some topics people have had games up to 1million x 1million so there should be a solution for this, if anyone knows i would apreceate it.

when i ran at the same problem a couple of months ago i found somewhere that it was a known problem but didn't investigate further and kept my maps below 50k*50k.
So if you find a solution without help from this thread could you still post the solution since i would be interested.

50k x 50k is currently the limit before instability afaik.

i've never seen a map of million x million size before.

i never saw a map at 1mill+ but i saw one of the FLEETOPS Team replying to a topic mentioning it.
