Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Unless you recently jacked up your game settings, I don;t think this is anything on your end, see also these threads; See teluriius' post in the second thread for changes you can make on your side to reduce this On 2/28/2014 at 9:30 PM, Telurius said: That particular type of OutOfMemoryError means the garbage collector is struggling so much it's basically preventing the client from doing much else besides collecting garbage. It's spending too much time collecting garbage and/or recovering too little of the heap when doing so. By default, it happens when it's spending more than 98% of the time collecting garbage or recovering less than 2% of the heap per full garbage collection. It's probably due to the heap being a little too small for the settings you're using. By default, the clients use a maximum heap size of 800 MB, which is why you're not seeing the heap size increase beyond that. You can include an argument of the form -J-Xmx[amount] in a command to start the client to specify a different maximum heap size. For example, you could use the following command to start the stable client with a maximum heap size of 1600 MB (twice what it would normally use): javaws -J-Xmx1600m http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp There are a few things to be aware of when doing so. First, if you're using a 32-bit version of Java (which a 32-bit operating system would limit you to), it will limit the maximum amount of memory available per process, which will require carefully balancing memory usage to avoid problems. Second, by default most recent versions of Java also set the maximum direct buffer memory size equal to the maximum heap size, though direct buffers are stored outside the heap (and can potentially push memory usage significantly beyond the maximum heap size, though memory is also used for some other things outside the heap). You can separately specify the maximum direct buffer memory size with an argument of the form -J-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=[amount] in a command to start the client. For example, the following command could be used to start the unstable client with a maximum heap size of 1600 MB and maximum direct buffer memory size of 800 MB: javaws -J-Xmx1600m -J-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=800m http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient_unstable.jnlp You could also (either alternatively or in addition to the above) lower settings to try to reduce memory usage. You could also PM one of the client devs in case it may be affecting more players since the recent patch.

Posted February 12, 2017 ty for the answer, i will have to look into the parameters in details tomorow, I have 5 accounts running on that computer, 1 is stable at 500Mo RAM usage, the others slowly (or not) goes up to 1Go400 and crash out without warning most of the time. Same settings on all of them, ie, lowest as possible. No Render. No animations. That is on a Win7 computer - 12Gb Ram - 2Gb Nvidia graphic card. 8 hours ago, Brash_Endeavors said: By default, it happens when it's spending more than 98% of the time collecting garbage or recovering less than 2% of the heap per full garbage collection.

Posted February 16, 2017 Same thing is happening to me also now. I have had quite a bit of crashes now since i updated to the latest Java. No real problems before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 19, 2017 That may explain my java crashes also, im using 64 bit java. Started happening right after i updated the java. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2017 I just thought I'd mention a few things: First, if you want you can disable the overhead limit check that's actually triggering these crashes by including including "-J-XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit" (without quotes) in a command to start the client, but be aware that doing that without making other adjustments to solve the underlying problem will likely lead to either freezing/stuttering (due to excessive garbage collection) and/or a different type of OutOfMemoryError crash. Second, the default maximum heap size being used by the client is currently 1024 MB. It's been increased since my old post about this type of OutOfMemoryError crash years ago. It's worth mentioning since this type of crash is usually caused by having a heap size that's just a little too small for your settings, and you may want to factor in the current maximum heap size (either the default or whatever custom setting you're using) when considering what to try raising it to. Third, if you just started getting these crashes after a Java update, it's possible a change to garbage collection could have started triggering it, in which case adjusting your garbage collection settings may help. If you haven't already done so, I'd highly recommend switching to either the concurrent mark sweep (CMS) collector or the garbage first (G1) collector. They're currently the most suitable garbage collectors for most situations where low garbage collection pause times are desired (like when playing real-time games). You can use the CMS collector by including "-J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" (without the quotes) in the command to start the client, or you can use the G1 collector by including "-J-XX:+UseG1GC" (again, without the quotes) in the command. There are also a variety of other options that can be specified to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to adjust garbage collection (and other things), many of which can be found at the following pages: Windows: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html Linux / Mac OS X / Solaris / Unix: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/java.html Fourth, in Odynn's case (based on the supplied console log) I noticed the crash originated in a model loader thread. While I noticed the settings for most things were set low, I noticed you're using 3 model loading threads with high thread priority. While this will speed model loading, it could cause other problems. In particular, higher numbers of threads can increase memory usage and could be contributing to the problem, and the higher thread priority could cause it to spend more time loading models if there are several to load (which if close to your maximum heap size could lead to more frequent garbage collection, possibly contributing to the problem). You may want to consider reducing the number of model loading threads and/or the model loader thread priority and see if that helps any. Be aware setting them too low may cause delayed model loading and resulting pop-in, but as low as your rendering distances are you'll likely be seeing pop-in if you travel anyway. Both options can be found under the "Advanced graphics" tab of settings in the game launcher. Anyway, here's a command to launch the client you may want to consider trying: Quote javaws -J-Xmx1280m -J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -J-XX:+AggressiveOpts http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp That command will start the stable client with a slightly higher maximum heap size (1280 MB instead of the current 1024 MB default) using the concurrent mark sweep garbage collector with some experimental optimizations enabled. If you're already using a higher maximum heap size than that (A console log won't indicate what maximum heap size you're using, so I can only guess without more information.), you may want to try setting the maximum heap size even higher. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2017 Ive been having these crashes as well and so have others I have talked to. Retro had mentioned some tweeking of the polling rates on Xanadu. Could the changes possibly be causing this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 17, 2017 Are these for the stable or unstable client? On 16/03/2017 at 11:23 PM, McGarnicle said: Ive been having these crashes as well and so have others I have talked to.
