Ошибка выделения памяти майнкрафт

Minecraft occasionally still gives the «Minecraft has run out of memory» problem. I have tried playing on the lowest settings. I’ve tried allocating more memory. I’ve tried playing in a smaller window. I’ve tried just about everything.

The main problem is that when I try to Allocate more memory by either creating a .bat file or just allocating more memory to minecraft or java directly, it doesn’t work. For example, Say that I did one of those options. When I open up minecraft and press f3 it tells me that I’m still using 227mb of memory allocated to minecraft, despite me changing it to 1gig, 2gig, etc etc. I have 9 gigs of memory and minecraft is literally the only program I have trouble running.

I want to try to download some texture packs and I’m not a huge fan of mods in the least but I don’t even want to try it because I know minecraft will probably crash and blow up and die a horrible death.

I’ve tried to allocate memory several different ways on several different occasions, checking and rechecking to see if I spelled something wrong, forgot a symbol, or just messed up the commands in any way, shape, or form. Seems like I’m doing everything right but hey… I guess I could be wrong after doing it 2098390850935890 times.

Once again, the main problem is allocating more memory. It seems that no matter how much memory I allocate to minecraft, f3 tells me that its at 227mb and it stays that way NO MATTER WHAT! No change to lag and still getting the crash every once in a while. Am I doing something wrong? Can I just -never- do it because my minecraft is one in a million? I just don’t get it

Also, I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling Java on several occasions too. Both the 32-bit and 64-bit. I have them both, Its version 7. I had 6 when it started. 7 had helped a -tiny- bit but I still get the crash occasionally and lag spikes at the most inopportune times.

Please Help!

That «allocated ram» you get with F3 will never reach the amount you want to allocate. (Never happened to me, anyway. Correct me if I’m wrong, somebody)
Edit: 9 GBs of RAM? Is it 4+4+1 or 8+1? That looked weird to me.

Anyway, that’s really weird, with 8 gigs I don’t have any problems. You said that you tried everything, did you try to reinstall minecraft? Or play on the browser version?

Thank you for replying. Kanky.

Yes. I know that the f3 allocated memory will never reach what I allocated but it stays 227mb no matter what, is the problem. I can allocated 1mb or 9999999999gb and it will stay 227mb. of course I’m overexaggerating but thats how it is. I wouldn’t mind if it doubled that… it would at least run smoother. It’s really weird.

I’ve tried reinstalling minecraft. I’ve tried playing the browser version. It’s all the same. I just can’t figure it out.

Also, gorguts. I will try to fiddle with java directly but I have tried before and it didn’t do jack. I was told by many people that directly working with java won’t always make minecraft better. But I’m willing to try anything at this point. Thanks for replying.

EDIT: Also, Yes Kanky. It is 4+4+1 I believe.

Have you tried the amazing Magic Launcher? Developed by the person who brought us Optifine. I mainly use it to allocate memory into the java process for when it’s necessary (I allocate 1.5Gbs). Try this, I’m really positive it’ll work out for you!

Sarutsuke, Arigatou gozaimashita.

I just tried the Magic Launcher for the first time and it looks pretty neat. I allocated more memory using the settings and it still is only running at 227mb. Seems that stupid number is stuck there… Also, The lag spikes are there. Let me clarify. The lag isn’t there constantly. But every so often I will get a horrid lag spike, usually ending with the memory crash screen.

But yes, Thank you for the idea of using Magic Launcher. Unfortunately it did not work.

Yeah I read somewhere once, if I recall correctly, that allocating more ram to minecraft is actually bad because the jar never uses more than 512mb of ram regardless of allocated amount. If you reserve the ram for minecraft and it isn’t using it, other processes can run out of useable memory and crash your computer.

Just something I feel like I read, may not even be true.

Did this start with 1.3.2? Because same thing has been happening to me, except no running out of memory, just lag spikes I never had before. And I only have 2 gigs of ram in the beast machine…

I’m a bit curious about that ram arrangement, it seems a bit weird to me. Can you tell us more about what your computer specs are? DDR3 ram? double or triple channel? ram speed?

Also, is this a problem that has always happened with minecraft on this computer or is it something that started recently that didn’t happen before? More information would be very helpful for troubleshooting…

Thank you all for the replies. They give me ideas to help out with the problem I’m having.

Allocated memory is stuck at 227mb… it will not go up. f3 always tells me the same number no matter how much I allocate to java, minecraft, using the .bat files or whatever.

This has happened ever since 1.2.5. I now have 1.3 and I -only- use vanilla minecraft. no mods.

WhiteFireDaemon,
My computer runs DDR3 ram. I don’t know what double or triple channel means and ram speed? Yeah I’m a noob. my apologies.

You mentioned earlier installing both Java 6 & 7 and x32 & x64. If you still have Java 6 installed along with Java 7 update 7, uninstall Java 6. Using Magic Launcher, try allocating 1024Mb (1Gb) of memory. On the F3 screen, it’ll say «Allocated memory 100% (989MB)» At least, for me it does says that and Minecraft runs pretty fine.

Sarutsuke,

I uninstalled Java 6 and reinstalled java 7 x32 and x64 specifically. Made sure thats what I had on my PC. I tried the Magic Launcher idea and same thing happened. I used the «setup» and allocated 1024 (then tried again with 2048) and the number -stayed- at 227mb on the f3 screen and I still have those random lag spikes.

Maybe this is a user issue? I am the admin of my computer. no one else uses it. Hmmm…

Like I said… it doesn’t happen all the time but it happens at the most inconvenient times. no lag whatsoever then BAM lag spike like crazy. Also I feel like minecraft can run faster and more smoothly. If I can get it to allocate more than 227mb of memory I’d be set… I just don’t get what I’m doing wrong.

I think you are misunderstanding memory use and memory allocation.

Memory allocation only allocates memory to the garbage collector for java.

Memory use is what is shown ingame, hence, in your example, you are using ~200MB of your ~900MB allocated.

Allocated memory is not in use.

As for running out of memory, when does it happen specifically? Does it happen in new worlds?

Also, how exactly do you have 9GB of RAM? This probably isn’t causing the problems with minecraft, but is a problem in itself. You should never mix and match DIMM types, sizes, or speeds.

Thanks for the reply, fm87,
Although I understand what you are saying, all I know is that I used to get the «minecraft has run out of memory» crash constantly. Especially in the Nether. After 1.3 came out and when I uninstalled Java 6 and installed Java 7 (both x32 and x64) it got better. By «better» I mean the «minecraft has run out of memory» crash only happens every so often along with the horrible lag spikes that happen once every hour or so. It’s random. It could be 2 seconds after I log into a world or 5 hours. Either way, it -always- eventually happens. This happens in all worlds, on all settings, in any mode, period. I play a lot of minecraft. lol… New world, old world, server, creative mode, survival, etc… it does not matter.

When I looked up the «minecraft has run out of memory» crash, several sites, people, forums, youtube videos, tutorials, etc. said to «allocate more memory.» I tried to do it several different ways and then -redo- it those same ways just in case I mispelled something or got a random command wrong or something. Everytime I followed the directions, I would then log onto minecraft and press f3 and get the screen with all the coordinates and numbers and it says Used Memory blah% (227mb). Allocated (227mb). or whatever. That number never gets over 227. Needless to say, nothing seems smoother, faster, and I still get the horrid but random lag spikes/crashes that I’ve been told «allocating more memory to java/minecraft» was supposed to fix.

Every tutorial, youtube video, etc. etc. showed -them- logging on twice. once before allocating more memory and once after. The «used memory blah%» was -then- increased A LOT. Also was allocated memory.

Hopefully I explained that alright. Thanks for helping out.

I’m guessing that there still is no fix for my problem? Been waiting for a while. lol. Hmmm. Hopefully I can figure this out soon. It’s getting rather annoying. Maybe the new update will fix the problem all together… Here’s hopin’…

Bumping a month old thread but I’m in a very similar boat.
Memory is stuck at 981MB. I’ve tried most everything: MC patcher, magic launcher, creating a batch file, editing java, etc.
And ironically, as I was typing this I managed to fix my issue. Perhaps if you’re still having the problem, Oiram, it might help you out, too.
Having tried every method, I had gone to system-> advanced system settings -> environment variables -> and added some JAVA_OPTIONS or somethign similar. It never did anything but I never removed it afterwords so I guess it was conflicting with whatever else I was trying to do after.
Removed the JAVA_OPTIONS entry, ran the batch file and the ram usage is up!

Good luck

This worked! I never thought I would ever find anything that would fix my issue. I’ve posted on about 10 different forums and asked for help from everyone and their mother. I fiddled for hours and hours and hours on this problem, never getting anywhere. I wonder why no one else knows that you have to do this or… if they did know, this seems like an important step in taking and not mentioning it makes everything else useless.

Anyway, months of issues with minecraft fixed within seconds. Thank you very much, Walbird.
