I would recommend getting the latest java as well as maby manually setting the ram, now i'm on a mac, so i can't help you much there. But i can say this, go into the windows icon thing and type: %appdata% now note the folder might be hidden, so you might need to un-hide the folder. After that go into the "Techniclauncher" folder and open the "launcher.properties" and set the "memory" field to the desired amount. That should over-ride everything and force it to load with more, but if you are still having problems then go ahead and get the latest java version for your computer.

I had a similar issue a while back (with vanilla MC no less) and it turned out that I was using 32 bit java to run the game on my 64 bit processor. I'd double check that first thing.

[fyremakyr]

Upgrading java did nothing only succeeding in crashing server meaning i had to downgrade again

[pieiscool32]

Here is the dilemma i am having, did you get the proper java for your computer?!?! ??? Because that could just be your problem.

[fyremakyr]

Yeah vista 32bit and got java 7 32bit

[pieiscool32]

Ok... well, I'm not sure then, because I'm on a mac and the only version of windows i will use is 7 and 8. Sorry, I can no longer help much. Hopefully someone can help you.

No worries kinda annoying that i can run demanding games fine and not minecraft cos it only will use like 250mb

[pieiscool32]

well, thats what notch has to fix...

[fyremakyr]

Meant tekkit rather than MC, MC runs fine

[pieiscool32]

well, the mods do use lots of RAM to work, so there is that...

[fyremakyr]

yeah but the allocated memory on the F3 screen says 247MB when i have 4GB

[pieiscool32]

Well, minecraft can't take all of the ram from the pc or it'll stall and just sit there. And try to do what i said and allocate the RAM manually.

yeah but the allocated memory on the F3 screen says 247MB when i have 4GB

the f3 screen shows real memory usage at the time. what you are setting to 4GB is the maximum amount of memory it can use. that does not mean that it WILL use it, just that it CAN.

also, if you're on a 32-bit machine, setting the max memory to anything over 1.5GB is gonna cause you some serious problems.

32bit OS, Tekkit, 250mb memory issue

FIXED-NO DOWNLOADS OR PATCHING REQUIRED!

QUESTION

"why cant i get more memory allocated for tekkit?"

ANSWER

"not sure but heres how i fixed the issue"

hello there,

So i had this issue also, even when i choose the options to run on 1gb (knowing the 1.5gb option is unstable from other forum threads when running 32bit OS) it was only allowing 250mb.

Ater days of searching the net i found no good answer to our issue.

So i went into %appdata% and in technic folder to see what i could do from the files there and i did the following.

1. open "techniclauncher" folder

2. open "launcher" properties file (in notepad)

3. when you open this you will see the following: (depending on you last option memory selection)

#

latestLWJGL: falsememory: 1024retryLogins: falseworldbackup: falserecupdate: truedevupdate: falsemodpack: tekkitcustombuild: '6'

(above is edited to see where you need to change memory input)

(do not copy and paste, don't be a noob)

change the memory to one of the following you desire:

1 GB: 1024 (recommended for 32 bit OS) and works if you been on 250mb

2 GB: 2048

3 GB: 3072

4 GB: 4096

CAUTION!! if you try and be a nutter and allocate more memory then you actually have, then someone should shoot you. as feck all happens.

4. now open the tekkit folder in the techniclaucher folder in %appdata%

5. copy this procedure above for the tekkit "launcher" properties file.

p.s both launcher properties (technic & tekkit) should be identical. in terms of memory allocation

i waised 4 days of trawling on the net when all you need to do is not be a noob. do a little tinkering here and there don't be a sheep explore these files and fix your issue.

hope this works if not keep trying the method.
