Thanks for the advice, but my force-field has no charges and hence no coulomb potential, so I want the atoms to interact with itself via the Van der Waals functions. I'm using 3.2.1 at the moment and there is no option to use any of the Ewald summation techniques. Is this something that has been added in the most recent version?

Use Ewald, or preferably particle-mesh Ewald (PME) for crystalline
systems. That was what they were invented for.
