Errors when trying to create dedicated server

brianlyp · Dec 21st 2019

Hi,
I am trying to start a dedicated server and get the following error:

Error Occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 3145728KB object heap
Press any key to continue . . .

I am running the server on a machine with 64GB of ram, so dedicating 3GB shouldn't be a problem.

here is my bat file:

@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=1* delims==" %%i in (C:\RisingWorld\server.properties) do (
if "%%i"=="server_memory" set mem=%%j
)
if "%mem%"=="" set mem=3072
java -Xmx%mem%m -jar C:\RisingWorld\server.jar
pause
endlocal

I do not have a memory value set in my server.properties

The batch script first checks if the server_memory value is set in the server.properties file. Only if the memory variable isn't set, it will be set to 3072 mb in your case. However, usually the server_memory field does exist in the server.properties file (by default it's set to 2048 mb), so I'd recommend to change the memory value there as well

However, in your case it looks like there is only a 32 bit JRE installed on your server. Unless you're running a 32 bit OS, you can find the latest 64 bit version of Java here (download "Windows Offline (64-bit)"): https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
