I have been playing the Ironclads mod but every time i try to load a save game it gets almost to the end of the loading bar but then it flashes back to the main menu saying it couldn't load the game, i turned on save file compression which got the bar a little farther but it still doesn't load

Try this: edit the vmparams file and change both 512's you find there to 1024. That may let you get through the loading process.

The issue is that after you turn on save compression, you still have to load the original save, and it won't actually be compressed until you re-save it. So it works better as a preemptive measure rather than a solution once the problem comes up.

Ya thats what i did, i started this game i'm trying to load after i edited the compression, where is the vmparams file at?

EDIT: Found it, im not a smart man

[BigMeatSpecial]

It wont let me edit, it says I need admin but I am the admin, im using notepad if that helps

[Alex]

Check the file permissions, and make sure it's not read-only.

[BigMeatSpecial]

okay got it, but it is now  a text file not just "File" will it still function the same way? the old vmparams file is also still in the folder and it is unedited

[Alex]

You need to make sure the filename of the edited file is exactly the same. That is, that it's vmparams not vmparams.txt. (Delete the old file/rename the new file if necessary, for example.)

[BigMeatSpecial]

Ya the edited one doesnt work, i believe its because its converted to a text file, but i dont know how to edit the original with out it automatically making a new text file.

EDIT: Nevermind, i fixed it, thanks for the help man hopefully now i can keep a game going!

[BigMeatSpecial]

IT LOADED!!!!! Thank you so much Alex this has been driving me crazy for the past few days!

[Alex]

Glad that helped

[PCCL]

hmm...

just tried that and now game won't even start

any chance you can post the file that works?

EDIT: my bad, accidentally overwrote a letter in the code works now

xms 512 and xmx 1024 no longer is enough for me to load my game. There seems to be a big bug with memory usage in the latest patch.

Also, for some reason i cant use xmx 2048 despite having 8gb of memory.

[Alex]

@Withering: I suspect this is a mod-related issue. As far as I know, one of the mods has a memory leak, can't quite remember which one though. Also: have you tried turning on save file compression? It's almost a must with some of the bigger mods; should really be set by them to begin with.

(If you want to use 2048, you'll need to replace the jre the game ships with with a 64-bit version. But you shouldn't need that much, and if there's indeed a memory leak, that's only a bandaid solution.)

[Withering]

Allright, I'm gonna abandon the save and try another save with save compression on.

For the record I'm using exerelin with all the compatible faction mods (about 8 ).

The mod that seems to have the memory leak is the kadur theocracy mod.
