beast computer and terrible lag after 3 player?

Ok, what the fuck is this. I paid my computer for 8GB RAM, 600 gb (920 overall! Almost a tb.) i got a really good internet connection (Look at my speedtest!) nothing is running in the background (except maybe a couple of programs that doesn't cause any lag normally. Now, i thought, maybe i should try allocating some more memory?

So that is my bat right now.

Code:

@echo off
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xmx1612M -jar bukkit.jar
pause

Ok so here i couldn't allocate more than 1612. Why? no fucking idea i just get a random error telling me it can't create the virtual box or w/e.

My pc run windows 7 OS and is 64bit. (x86)

I seriously need clarification on this.

 

Okay. I had the EXACT same problem untill recently. You have to
1. Uninstall ALL java versions on your CPU
2. Download the java 64bit from here (make sure you use windows explorer)
3. Get the new launcher code from here (java is saved under ProgramFiles and not ProgramFiles(x86)
4. Change minecraft.exe to minecraft.jar
5. Set the xmx1G to xmx3G or whatever you want.

If you need clarification on anything just ask

Hope this works for you too!

 

I wouldnt say thats a beast of a computer however. thats a average higher end gaming computer. i have 4 gb ram (32 bit windows is why) 6 core processor 3.2 ghz (per core) 600 GB HD and sli Nvidia 460 and a decent internet speed. i can only run 5 people my limitations is my ram and internet speed. if you want to run over 10 people its best to get a host. save you a lot of time and money even with your 8 gb you're only looking at 10 people at most before you lag

 

beast computer
lists HDD space and ram
lolwut

 

You seem mad bro?

he did..

You use the x86 version of Java. The x86 version of Java can't use more than ~1600 MB RAM as heap. It's a technical limitiation that has nothing to do with bukkit. The 64bit version of Java can support an almost infinite amount (by todays standards) of RAM. Therefore you should use that.

 

I think your hard drive is too small.

 

Uh thanks for the help. I'll try that. Also i'm hosting only for some friend at my school so we're about 5 or 6
Anyway i'll try to reinstall java with the better version or w/e

Edit: Still not working. 1612 or 1G is still the max i can put after reinstalling java in every possible way. O.O

also here my speedtest which i forgot to add..



Seriously idk whats up

Maybe you are missing another wy of insalling java, so you don't have 64bit one
try typing "java -version" in a commandline window.

 

OOHH nvm for some reasons i just reinstalled it with windows explorer and for SOME reasons i can allocate like 3000 now

 

thats cause you ONLY have 64bit. Windows explorer is a 64bit browser so Java detected it. If you were using Chrome or Firefox thats why it didn't work in the first place

 

You can download 64bit java in chrome or firefox too, you just have to read the web page properly to get to it.

 

Why have you all missed something seriously wrong with his .bat start up.

Why do you have two Xmx values it should be

Also might as well forget about java6 and just use the latest build of Java 7 its just as easy to get hold of.

Just the same you were using a 32bit version of java limiting your ram but what I dont understand is if you have 8gig of ram why you are even using the low values you are.

You should be using these values

And you have not stated your CPU specs!

Also what is with this

Are you asking us or telling us? Is it 64bit or 32bit make your mind up please its difficult to advise you when we can't understand what OS your running.


If it is 32bit(X86) Windows your 8gig is pointless it will only use just under 3gig no matter how much you throw at it. Ontop of this you will be limited to the ram you give java even if u do use 64bit java.

I might be able to advise other details to help optimize java generally the garbage collection to minimize pause times if your provide more and clearer information.

Also who downlods java from windows explorer or firefox in the method I think your all talking about .

Is it hard to type www.google.com and search Java 7 or Java 64bit now days?

 

You'd have a blast on the 'official' Minecraft forum, literally every other thread can be solved with a google search.

 

Haha don't get me started on the official MC forum the is a reason I don't hang around there anymore for long periods of time.

I usually get sent there only from my servers staff team to look at something to LOL at or they found something interesting yet important. Other then that I only go there now to see what mods are going around and update client mods.
