Tribble ticket 4,754,324 (submitted on 09/11/2018)
After the Tribble patch on September 5, 2018, the value of SystemSpecs.virtualAddressSpace in my gameprefs.pref file decreased from 17574457245718 to 8796092891136; the new number is roughly half the old number. No other entries related to disk space or the amount of memory have changed, except for SystemSpecs.diskFree and SystemSpecs.physicalMemoryAvailable, which, of course, will be different every time I run the program. I'm still running the 64-bit version of the game client.
