Increasing ram allocation on macOS
« on: March 02, 2020, 12:31:20 AM »

I have been unable to increase the ram allowance up to 4g on my system. I followed the guide on the forum and modified the Starsector.bat file, specifically "-Xms4096m -Xmx4096m -Xss1024k". The console in game still shows only 1.5 or even 1.4 g of ram allocated. I used again the bug report function to verify the launch option and the ram allocation is not increased at all. I even tried to replicate the edits to the starsector.bat32 file but of course nothing changed.

Thank you.

Hi - for Mac, you want to make these changes in the file named "starsector_mac.sh", which should be under Contents/MacOS in the app package.
