Just started modding the game this week, lurked around the forum to find stuff to edit/what to expect and came up with this : I changed the vmparams to both -Xms and -Xmx 2048m, since I went ballsdeep from the start and got most factions and libs required to run them. Now my inquiry is this : task manager says Java uses over 3GB of RAM when the game runs; is this normal (probably), should I edit the vmparams again to bump it up to the >3GB it actually uses or am I worrying on nothing and my PC won't melt itself in the coming future ?

Hmm - it's a bit odd that it's reporting using over 3 gigs when it's only allocated 2. Regardless, though, it wouldn't hurt to set it to -Xms4g and Xmx4g, provided you've got at least 6-8 gigs of ram on your PC. I wouldn't go above that, though, even if you have the ram to spare.

It was using those 3GBs even on stock vmparams (1.5 GB). I'll try to bump it to 3072 and see whatever happens (probably a black hole).

Tried to put it at 3072m, game now takes over 3.9GB, which isn't that much more than when it was 2048m. Guess those settings don't do much (for my game at least). Weird.

Went back down to 2048m, task manager says 3.5GB usage. Still weird

And got Java to crash on me while I was alt-tabbed out to write this

Do you by any chance play on a laptop? If so then SS might be using the integrated gfx card instead of the real one
