Fix for thicket lag?

[borka]

Remember The Message from Grandmaster Flash?

It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How i keep from going under

Don't push me cause i'm close to the lag
Im trying not to loose my head, thi thi thi cket

This thread hurts my faith in humanity.
Your lag can be caused by any number of things, the most likely being:

1. Your computer is terrible
2. Your computer is full of useless junk and you've made it into an expensive facebook machine
3. Not enough memory is being given to Java
4. You have out of date drivers for your video card, try updating them.


If you are using windows, you can do the following to give more memory to java:

1. Go to your start menu
2. Click on "All Programs"
3. Click on "Accessories"
4. Click on "System Tools"
5. Click on "Control Panel"
6. Click on "Programs"
7. Click on "Java"
8. Click on the tab labeled "Java"
9. Click on "View..."
10. Double click in the box under the column labeled "runtime parameters"
11. put "-Xincgc -Xmx1G" into the text field. This part depends on whether or not you have a x64 installation or a x86 installaion of windows, aka 64bit and 32bit, if you have a 32bit installation change it to "-Xincgc -Xmx512M"
12. Click "OK"

voila.

Thanks Sibbechai, might be worth to give that a try. But i wonder if the switch -Xmx512m makes sense as it's already given in the run.bat ? Note that i am not a programmer...

-Xincgc

What does it do:

Enable the incremental garbage collector. The incremental garbage collector, which is off by default, will reduce the occasional long garbage-collection pauses during program execution. The incremental garbage collector will at times execute concurrently with the program and during such times will reduce the processor capacity available to the program.

Neither am I, haha. I just know what I learned from dealing with minecraft a lot. If the .bat has the Xmx512M by default then I am not sure, the other option could be updating from JRE6 to JRE7, since the only time I recall ever lagging in a thicket was back when I used JRE6 on an older machine.

having this as my batch file has never failed me when I am playing with it to get it working:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se -r ./res
PAUSE

currently I just use

Code: Select all

start javaw -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se -r ./res

which I believe is the default.
