Title: Help with vmparans file
Post by: klyxes on April 17, 2021, 05:32:34 AM

Is there a specific way to change the files? the only way i can change them is via apps that change the extension to text, which the game doesnt read.

Use something like Notepad++.

Or get a premade file (following copied from Discord):

If your system does not allow you to allocate more ram: This is unable to safely play more than some quality of life mods, ship packs and maybe a pair of faction mods.
 
If you can allocate 1.3GB:
https://bitbucket.org/MesoTroniK/1300-meg/downloads/vmparams
This should be OK for a handful of faction mods plus your QoL mods and ship packs.
 
If you can allocate 2GB:
https://bitbucket.org/MesoTroniK/2-gig/downloads/vmparams

 If you can allocate 3GB:
https://bitbucket.org/MesoTroniK/3-gig/downloads/vmparams
By that point you can have a decent sized mod list of 6+ factions and/or ship packs.
 
If you can allocate 4GB:
https://bitbucket.org/MesoTroniK/4-gig/downloads/vmparams
This should be safe to use if not all at least a large amount of mods.
 
If you can allocate 6GB:
https://bitbucket.org/MesoTroniK/6-gig/downloads/vmparams
Your computer should be able to handle every current mod you throw at it.
 
If you can allocate 8GB:
https://bitbucket.org/MesoTroniK/8-gig/downloads/vmparams
WARNING: SOME SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS THAT SHOULD ALLOW 8GB CAN EXPERIENCE STUTTERS AND FREEZES WITH THAT AMOUNT. If that is your case, fall back on a 6GB allocation. This much allocation is currently safe to run an arbitrary number of mods.
