Running out of memory in Windows 8.1 Pro

[kensclark15]

This has NEVER happened in Windows 7. I have 8GB of RAM, Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit, and Java JDK 8 64 bit. I gave Attack of the B Team 4 GB of RAM and the Task Manager shows that it uses about 4GB. The game runs fine for a few seconds then Windows 8 says I am running low on memory and closes java. The thing is, I did not even once use over 80% of my RAM so I don't know how I could be running low on memory. I had nothing else running except for Spotify which uses onlt 98MB of RAM. Is this a Windows 8.1 issue? It never happened on Windows 7.

There are some oddities both with Win8 and with Java 1.8 (java 1.8 still isn't the recommended version yet).  First I'd try removing all the versions of Java you have, then get the latest 64-bit version of 1.7 - start with that.

 

After that if you've still got issues please post your client log up on the tracker, there's links to help with that in my sig.

That behavior is meant to be for modern apps and unless java 1.8 is modern then something else happened

I tried Java 7. It uses a lot less RAM but the problem still happens if I am near a bunch of entities. This is just weird. I might have to go back to Windows 7

It is not a W8 issue (I am using W8 atm)

disconsented, it's not an issue with every win8 install (and I have a machine running it without problems), but there are a few things that I've seen with some win8 installations.  You're right that it's not technically windows 8 that's the problem (just default settings and overrides for some people).

 

kensclark, I can't offer any more suggestions without logs I'm afraid - could be just about anything.  Please put logs up on the tracker if you want better help.
