Help With Ram...

[Mysterious_S]

I do not want help with a sever i just want Hexxit to use more ram. In the launcher settings, i can allocate more ram but that only works for the max amount of ram, i can't change the least amount of ram so it still lags, i have an Alienware MX14R2 from 2012 with 16 gb of ram and windows 7. Please help, thank you in advence if you help.

If I'm understanding your problem correctly, your solution would be to just make sure you have no other programs running so the launcher is free to take however much you tell it too. Keep in mind that too little RAM can cause lag, but too much can as well.

How should i put it... XMX- 8gb XMS - 256 mb xmx is the max of ram xms is the minimum i want to change the minimum because minecraft uses the minimum and maybe a little bit over, for some reason, it tries even with max fps on, it still just uses about 600 mb of ram, i dont want that because it still lags, i want to play it very smooth but with good graphics,the only way to make that work is by changing the minimum amount of ram and i have no way of doing that... i would create a .bat file, but i cant open hexxit.exe without the technic launcher, at least i don't think i can...

as i said, i have 16gb of ram on my computer, and i usually use just 2gb when it runs, when i play games, i close any access programs, in which i still don't have to do.

Did you check the increase permgen size box?

Stop rubbing in your 16 GB of RAM! I only have 4. :P

Your problem probably has nothing to do with RAM. Java will take as much as it needs (and then some), until the max is reached.

You were provided with the answer to your question.

Java uses as much memory as you give it. You don't want to force minecraft to use a lot due to minecraft lagging when you give it a lot of memory. It runs best with 2G of RAM as stated multiple times.
