random crashes unmodded
« on: December 01, 2016, 10:25:05 PM »

Recently bought this game and really like it. But i keep getting random crashes making it almost unplayable. Crashes have happened 5 minutes after starting it up to being able to play for 30+ minutes. This is most recent pure unmodded log. Its even worse with mods.

Hi - sorry about the trouble!

Looking at the attached log, it looks like the game *is* actually running modded - it's using a 64-bit version of Java rather than the 32 bit version the game comes with, and the vmparams file is modified. Could you try a clean install of the game to see if the problems persist? By "clean" I mean manually deleting the Starsector folder (after copying whatever you want to hold on to elsewhere - mods, saves, screenshots, logs, etc), re-downloading and then reinstalling the game.

Did the reinstall and was only able to try it for about an hour. So far no crash, completely forgot about rolling back the java. Ill stick to vanilla for now till I figure out how people are useing java64 to get those mods to work. Thanks.

Alright, glad that's working. Not sure why 64-bit wouldn't work - could have to do with the changes to vmparams (6 gigs is a bit much, can your system handle that much?) or it could be some kind of issue on your system. Which is awfully vague and not at all helpful, sorry :)

Could the difference in the memory allotment notations (IE -Xms1024m <- this and -Xmx6g <- this) cause the crash? Also what does the SS log say?
