RAM Problem

[Xepper]

I had a PC with 16GB of RAM for quite a while but I have a huge private modpack and I thought about ungrading it to 32 GB.

At first I thought everything is fine but an issue came up.

In my computer settings is shows me that I have 32 GB of RAM and also it sais the same in the task manager but in the technic launcher I can only use a maximum of 16 GB of RAM to run my modpack and this way it is really laggy...

sidenotes:(I have a 64 bit Java 1.8.0_291 ; so the newest one) (I believe it is some king of Launcher bug...)

No. 16 GB is already far too much for java. You are already cutting into your performance with that. Literally, more RAM = Detrimental to your performance. Welcome to Java.

Intentional. The max amount of ram you can allocate with the launcher is 16gb. There's no good reason to be able to allocate more than this.

well then thx

I knew that java was shitty... but this much...

Where is the launcher options saved to? I'm trying to run Stratum 2048x which requires way more than 16gb of ram, So i need to manually change the ram allocation in the file.

I recommend getting OpenJDK Base. It plugs into Java and helps with resource consumption. Makes Java applications like Minecraft run smoother

I have a pack that is also hitting the 16Gb cap in the launcher. so are there any alternatives that can support this need?

Technic launcher has a maximum cap of 16  GB Ram. That means even if your PC is equipped with 100 GB Ram then also it will show 16 GB to Technic launcher. I think this much is more than enough.
