GC overhead limit exceeded: An error I keep getting.
« on: March 07, 2018, 06:50:21 AM »
So, I got Starsector rather recently, and it's one of my new favorite games. With some mods it's really one of the most fun and diverse games around. MY computer runs it just fine, but for some reason, it keeps giving me a "GC overhead limit exceeded" error and crashing when I try to save my game. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Hi - take a look here:

http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=8726.0

In brief, if you haven't done it already, you'll need to edit the vmparams file to let the game use more memory - when running with multiple mods, the default amount allocated is not enough.

(Glad you've been enjoying it so far, btw!)
