java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Crash

[Darzok12]

I'm getting this error either when I save and exit from the game or sometimes when I launch it. Also, when I'm able to get in-game there is a constant stutter. The game freezes for like 0.1 seconds every second which makes it hard to click stuff sometimes or to move the camera. . When I press F3, I see the max and total memory that are at 455. Over that is something like available memory. It goes down from 455 to 0 very quickly and every time it gets to 0 there is the small freeze. The problem really seems to be that the game doesn't use enough of ram( I have 16GB) but I don't know how I am supposed to allocate more RAM to the game.

Thanks in advance!

Can you post the full crash log? A number of things at the start of it are fairly important and can help with troubleshooting.

[Rayvolution]

You certainly shouldn't be having any memory issues, your specs are almost exactly the target median specs of the game. I'll need to see the top half of the crash log (where the game is initializing), it might point out some red flags.

But, typically if someone has 16 gigs of ram and somehow are still seeing memory issues, usually what ends up happening is they have some very ram heavy applications running in the background (AutoCAD, Photoshop, Blender, etc) with heavy files open/loaded.

You *can* force allocate more ram to the game and run it outside Steam, that may fix your problem. But it isn't the correct solution, something on your machine is gobbling up all your ram.

Alternatively there is a very serious bug in RAZER's software that hard locks all Java applications to 256 megs of ram no matter what environmental settings you set (Blame the worthless programmers at RAZER). If your log only shows you allocating around 256 megs of ram, it's possible that's the issue as well (Even if you don't have their products anymore, and the software is uninstalled!). If so, check out this thread (Or more specifically, this reply and it's quoted content);

I have tried deleting _JAVA_OPTIONS but it didn't do anything. I don't run any Razor program as well. When I'm in game, I don't use any RAM heavy programs. I have above 10GB available when I'm in-game but it only uses 800MB at max as I could see in the task manager.. So here is the full crash logs from when I was able to get into my world and click Save and Exit which made the game crash:

[Rayvolution]

The game definitely isn't allocating enough memory for some reason. There's a ton of things that could cause it, most of them are third party apps though. But, we can try to just force-allocate the ram. Open up the RtR install folder, open RtR.bat with a text editor and replace the contents with this:

jre\windows64\bin\java.exe -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -jar -Xmx4g -Xms4g Core.jar
pause

Then, launch the .bat file and see what happens. If it works, it's possible some application is overriding the JVM environmental variables, and won't allow it to allocate ram like it should. Sadly it's extremely difficult to figure out what application may be causing the issue though. Even worse, if it doesn't work it could still be another app. :(

But, it's a good first step to see if we can at least get the game running.

[Darzok12]

Thanks a lot! It works! I had previously tried to force allocate more memory through the .bat file as I saw in a previous post from 2014 but there definitely is are more things in this line. I'll try to find what can be limiting the game from using more memory. But thanks again for the help!
