4gb+ and ini edits
« on: August 30, 2017, 11:16:04 AM »

There used to be a post on a file to edit to allow one to play many mods by upping the memory if I recall correctly.

Still needed? if so could I ask for a link to it please?

Also if there are any other tips for running many mods, up to an insane number, what tips or tricks might you advise?  Finally have a new computer to put Starsector onto, and am looking forward to it :)  (hehe, just putting SS on it right now too, well it is DL'n)

Thanks in advance and for reading my post.

If you need to up the amount of memory allocated to the game, you can do that in the vmparams file.

You would modify the -Xmx -Xms values. Ie
Code
-Xmx6g -Xms6g

You also can modify the garbage collection, which might be needed if you start running a truly excessive amount of mods. That is an advanced option, and unless you know what your doing I would advise against tinkering with it.

Be aware that You can do this with the shipped files as they are. Ignore any google and forum results telling You to mess with anything but these lines. It's outdated info, even if it is very persistent...
