Ummmm, somehow I'm getting an OoM error after I finish loading. I haven't touched anything besides changing a few settings in the settings config! (Armor to 1 and no full screen white outs)
log:

Hmm. I'd suggest rebooting, and failing that, switching to use 64-bit Java. Not sure why this would happen, though - I strongly suspect just a reboot would fix it. Well, than, and/or closing other stuff you might have running.

[Midnight Kitsune]

I am still getting it even though I have restarted and shut down all programs besides Skype and starsector
Edit: Going to try to redownload and reinstall to see if that will fix it

[Alex]

Hmm - could you give 64-bit Java a go, then?

Also: how much ram do you have? If it's 2GB it's not entirely impossible that the game just needs a bit more than that now, when the OS is factored in. Hopefully that's not the case, though.

Sorry about the trouble!

I have 6 gigs of ram and ran modded .72 fine (with 64 bit java)

[Alex]

Ok, good to know. Hmm.

Seems like others are having the issue in discord as well

[Alex]

Yeah, I wonder what the common denominator is. Did not run into this on several different Windows machines.

At this point, I think I'll just switch to 64-bit for the 0.8.1a release.

Annnnnd I just fixed it...
How? By REDUCING the allocated RAM to 768MB

Edit: Also, won't going to only 64 bit hurt you? What about those that have only 32 bit systems?

Hah - yeah, that makes sense. Should be just fine for vanilla, too.

It'd be the same workaround on 32-bit systems - but installing a 32-bit JVM instead. And the market share of 32-bit systems is something like 0.3%, which seems considerably lower than the number of people having to install the 64-bit version. And that's before you factor in mods. So basically same situation (some people need to install a different java version) but just a lot less people affected.

Steam HW Survey says that 7.17% of Steam users had a 32-bit operating system in March 2017.  Note that over 5% of users on Steam don't have enough RAM to meet the minimum specifications, so the real impact is quite low.

[Midnight Kitsune]

This is still in the hotfix by the way. Setting the memory lower (to 768) fixes it still though

[Alex]

Yeah, makes sense - the switch to 64-bit Java will be in the .1 release, too much risk of messing up something to do quickly for a hotfix.

Ahh, I was mis-remembering, then. Thanks for the correct info!

Ah OK. I thought you were going to lower the RAM allocated so it wouldn't crash on startup in the mean time

[Alex]

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that also seems potentially risky - hotfix releases are all about minimizing the risk of mucking something up while fixing things. Which is not to say that I *didn't*, but it wasn't for lack of trying not to
