Ram allocation on m1 Mac with 16gb of Ram
« on: September 06, 2022, 07:10:24 AM »
I had 0 issues running Starsector without mods, no notifications of insufficient ram. When I installed Nixerelin I started having issues with ram on the campaign map when there were a lot of other fleets in the same location.

In order to resolve that I tried increasing the ram heap as outlined in the mod support, but it didn't work. No matter the value I put in there seems to be no change in the actual effect on the gameplay. I keep having only 1-4% of free ram even if I bump it up to 6gb, which my system should be able to handle.

There are no crashes, simply lag and a drop in fps no matter the value of ram. I was editing the file starsector_mac.sh using sublime text so I doubt there are any issues with characters.
