Running game at 64 bit
« on: January 25, 2020, 02:50:49 PM »

Hi does anyone know if you can play this at 64-bit as i can only seem to get it to run in 32-bit

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

IIRC the default JRE packaged with Starsector is 64-bit. You're saying that isn't working for you?

Think i figured it out was the launcher confusing me as its only 32-bit and then the batch file is also 32-bit that was what confused me.

The limit you set is the max it can use. If it doesn't need/want that much, then it will use less.

If you launch using the batch file you need to change the memory values in the batch file, only the .exe uses vmparams. You should probably run using the .exe, though, unless there's a problem with it.
