Re: Re: Update Failed! you basically just have to tell it to use the right java.exe. in the case of java6, the default install path should be C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe I typed out a bunch of stuff explaining what you should put in the batch file, but in the end it will be way simpler if I just give you some lines to copy/paste mkdir %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\rtemp "C:\program files\java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1G -jar %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher.jar there you go. google batch files to find out how you make them, it's very very simple and needs no programing knowledge.

it's impossible for me to divine what the correct amount for you is. I don't even know if you're crashing due to memory issues to begin with. everything depends on what else is running on your machine, which varies wildly from person to person. try taking it down a notch and see if it works. if so, sweet! if not, well it's not a lack of memory issue.

it appears to be graphics card/driver related. what kind of card do you have? also, are you running it on a laptop?

when you connect to your server, are you using 127.0.0.1 or localhost as your IP? if so, try switching it to your external IP and try that. if you have no idea what we're talking about when we say "external IP", buy a copy of networking for dummies or something. that would also explain your friend's problems as well.

Re: lag attack after 10 minutes holes apear I don't need to look at the logs to know what your issue most likely is. you're not going to believe me, but you are allocating too much ram to the game. drop it down to 512. I'm not kidding, I actually had this same problem on an old PC of mine. here is the reason for this: java memory management. the amount of ram you set is like slack for the virtual machine, it lets data and things that are no longer in use by a program sit around until it runs out of "slack", meaning it hits the cap you set. once that happens, ideally it would perform garbage collection (cleaning up the unused data and freeing that space for future use) but the virtual machine itself does not release its hold on that ram. when you have a limited amount, like you have, often other processes will use 1G+ of ram, leading to the memory that java is trying to use either not existing, or being stuck into virtual memory. if it goes into virtual memory, it will slow down like you wouldn't believe, taking forever to load data into and out of that space (missing chunks) and eventually just giving up and crashing. so yeah, don't you just LOVE java? fuck yeah, platform independence! seriously though, drop your allocated RAM. it will run fine still and not crash. this will solve vanilla's issue too.

Re: lag attack after 10 minutes holes apear I'll take "leaving out the most important bit of info" for 600, Alex. what is, "the amount of RAM you have allocated in the launcher?" also, how much RAM do you have in total in your PC?

shit guys, forget about stickies and common problems, this guy posted his thread title in ALL CAPS. this is clearly a super important life or death issue! lives are at stake, let's get on this STAT!

fun fact: I'm actually well aware of what a RAM drive is, thanks. that doesn't make the OP any less dumb or my post any less funny. clearly, the OP isn't using a RAM drive and if he was, the technic team couldn't make it any larger for him. also, before you try to get all know-it-all on someone, make sure that they don't actually know what they're saying because you just look like a dick if you're wrong.

yes, potentially.

sounds like you've got your work cut out for you. this should help edit: as an aside, you should really stop using linux if you are complaining about how hard it is to get things to work with it. linux is great for many things, but being the primary OS for users unwilling to bust out a text editor or read some howtos when they want to get things done is not one of them. additionally, if simple directory structures and file locations confound you then you should probably not go anywhere near a tool like MCedit. ever.

no matter what you do, you're gonna end up taking the server down for at least a short time to apply whatever fix. I don't know how long it takes to boot your server, but I hope it's not more than a minute or two. if people can't handle having to log off for a couple minutes so a lag issue can be investigated and maybe sorted out, then I don't know what to tell you. your other option is to take the map file into MCedit and remove all chunk loader blocks. this will also require server downtime though. so far all you know is that there's lag and you THINK it's too many force loaded chunks. you are not even 100% on that as it stands. you will never solve this issue if you can't do what is needed to narrow in on the problem. I will tell you though, if you're stance is that the server cannot be restarted at any time for any reason, then you will have a high up time, super laggy server for the foreseeable future.

well the first step is to verify the quantum spin on your CPU BIOS thing. you know, the one that has the data stuff. that one. anyway, once you verify the spin (which should be "up" btw) you need to then make sure that you've configured your hyperflux dynalink with the proper bandwidth so that your computermabob and your memory thing can ascertain the same wavelength. after that you need to get the other stuff and plug that into that one thing. log on as whatever it should be and make sure that those config files have the settings you need (you know the ones). after that, light your computer on fire and throw it out the window. once you get to this point there's no going back. the next step is to stop being so damn vague.

take a look at your server console/logs when it starts up. one of the last things it does is list the number of force loaded chunks. that should give you an idea if this is the problem or not.

I'm pretty sure it's not. IIRC it is the one that always gets confused with the backdoor riddled mod. I think the one you're thinking of is called "MCadmin"? maybe? I can never remember.

I like how the OP is trying to spin all the mocking into something positive. "keep on bumping my thread guys, because that matters! if it stays at the top, maybe the admins that already posted in it making fun of me for being stupid will use their coding wizard spells to increase my RAM drive!" awesome.

that's very odd. I can't find anything anywhere that mentions a problem like this (admittedly, I only googled for around 30 minutes). try reinstalling java I guess? meaning uninstall it completely, then reinstall java 7 of the correct type (32 or 64 bit, whichever CPU type you have). you could also try deleting and redownloading the technic launcher and tekkit after the java thing too. if that fails, I'm pretty much out of ideas. I will keep an eye out if I happen across anything that might be related. if I find anything or think of a possible solution, I'll let you know.

there isn't supposed to be anything in rtemp. the launcher checks to see if it exists in order to decide if it should relaunch itself with the memory options it thinks it should have instead of the ones provided. try placing the bat file in the .techniclauncher folder and see if it goes

so is labeling things to be "fail" or "win". just saying. I can't say I've ever come across different types of copper or iron ores that did not stack in my inventory. my guess would be that it will be a non-issue.

you're not very bright, are you? :(

Re: Problems starting 6.1.0 and joining server. > way to ruin my fun, man. jeez.

who wants to bet this guy just installed 32-bit java into program files on his 64-bit machine? anyone?

oh my, well that is certainly fascinating. could you post the command or batch file you're using to launch the game? edit: also, does it matter if you run the exe vs the jar directly? I've been doing some googling, but I cannot find anything on java using less memory than it's told to. edit 2: had a thought, but it's a shot in the dark. go into control panel -> java -> java tab -> click view. look at the parameters field here. is it blank for all entries? if not, what is in there? if it's blank, then this is not the problem. edit 3: try using the batch file linked here http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php/topic,3480.msg22026.html#msg22026 to run the launcher, changing the -Xmx800m bit to be whatever you want. i.e. -Xmx1G or what have you. see if that sticks.

I know nothing of group manager, but try adding the names (with the []) to your ops.txt

I believe that these mods create phantom users with names like [buildcraft] or [redpower] and you may be able to fix these issues by making these users OP. worth a shot at least.
