0 YouDRUNKEN Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 You should switch to 64bit because 32bit cannot use 16G of RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Cheap Shot Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 32 bit systems CANNOT make use of that much ram. You need to upgrade to a 64 bit OS or you will never ever get the full potential of your RAM. You are sabotaging yourself, this has nothing to do with the launcher. Also as an added note, minecraft runs worse with more ram allocated. It's actually better to keep it at 1gig or under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 agelian Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 You need BOTH 64bit OS AND 64bit Java to go over 1.8gb heap memory for java. having 16gb on a 32bit system is pretty useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sionwolf Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Problem that is my normal version of minecraft is allocated over a GB of ram but no matter what i do cannot get over 247MB of allocation using the launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gooseer Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It doesn't matter, currently something has went wrong with the Technic pack. Trying to set an allocation spot closes the launcher. Log also show md5 mismatches as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may just be confused. The allocation of ram sets the MAX amount of ram. You should never actually have to use that much. If it's running correctly it should be saying that you are using around that number 247MB and it should be a percent of 1GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log also show md5 mismatches as well. The problem is, if you try to allocate more RAM than the system has available to allocate it defaults to 256M.
