Hi all,

before explain my problem I have to say that my english is not good. So pleaze, excuse me for it.

 

I have a vista 64bit with a java7 64bit and 5.5Go RAM but when I try to give 2Go RAM to minecraft (Attack of the Bteam, of course), It just don't work.

 

I have all chooses untill 5Go, so I try to allow 2Go and I save settings. It work in the launcher, but when I'm in game, minecraft say me there is only 477Mo allowed.

 

I tryed many things like uninstall and reinstall java or try with a bat file but... nothing works...

 

I realy don't know what I can do...

 

So please, help me =/

 

Thank's you and have good day

I found the origin of the problem...

There was a windows global variable that set max memory of java to 512M.

 

If other people have same problem, just do it :

=> Windows Menu => right click on " computer " => property => Advanced system parameter => Environment variables

There, look for the _JAVA_OPTIONS and look the value.

 

My value was " -Xmx512M " and that set the maximum memory for java to 512M. I changed to 3G and it run perfectly now !

Sorry to post this thread and finaly resolve it myself quickly... I hope it will maybe help other people :)

Thanks for doing so, Aethias - I've actually seen a few of these (or things that could've been this).  Do you have any guess of what program set that variable?
