I've seen other posts about changing the RAM assigned to the Java process needed to run Bukkit servers, but for some reason, none of them seem to work with my current run.bat. I've tried simply removing my server, and changing my .bat to include 2048 as the max and min, but that doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm just using the wrong code? My current run.bat is Maybe I'm just a complete idiot? Edit: Also, I'm only trying to increase the ram because I get massive lag spikes after a few minutes, and now I get the "Can't keep up!" after a few seconds of the server being up.
The can't keep up message is not always about RAM. As far as i know the CPU can be the problem, or the internet connection (i'm not sure about this last one). Anyway, if you want to increase the RAM. you have to write this: Anothe thing, a server can run with no lagspikes with 1GB with 3 o 4 plugins. If the cant keep up message appears even without plugins, i will recommend you to get an host. Sorry for bad english
If julikihd 's idea doesn't work, it's probably because you can't allocate more than 1GB(or 2, can't remember) RAM with 32bit java, if this is the case then do as follows; go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin run javacpl.exe now a window should pop up looking like this Now, click on the java tab, then click on "view..." A window should pop up with 2 JREs in it, disable the the one located in "Program files (x86)" Only one JRE? (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Only one JRE? (open) Only one JRE? (close) 32 bit and 64 bit java are installed seperatly, if you have a 32 bit computer then I'm afraid you can't allocate more RAM. go here for 64 bit java Once you've done that, change the numbers in your RUN.bat freely. example 4gb allocation Code: java -Xmx4g -jar craftbukkit-1.7.2-R0.3.jar -o true PAUSE
julikihd Thanks, I might look into getting a host after I get all my plug-ins settled caelum19 That worked, thanks! Lag/Timeout free!
