vmparams and the settings.json file
« on: March 31, 2021, 12:44:29 AM »

while making changes to my settings file i saw that there is now a setting for RAM allocation. originally i thought the vmparams settings would be in the launcher but they are not. so do i need to change it in the config file or the vmparams now? i did both but just to know it for the future?

I have questions about this myself. Consistently getting low ram warning running a few extra factions. I've adjusted both xms and xmx values in vmparams to 8192m which should be allocating 8gb and should be PLENTY according to this thread:https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=8726.0 .

I have 64gb of ram in my system so I have plenty to work with or is there some type of cap? Or do we need to modify additional files as OP asks?
