Steam Launcher options

The next update will be available on Wednesday, December 18, in the early evening (GMT+1).

This update will not yet replace the Java version, instead it is the actual content update. We'll provide more information about the transition together with the update.

    Hi,


    What's the correct way to get Launch options for Rising World as a Java game in Steam. I would like to pass to it the -Xms parameter for extra emmory (for example -Xms8196m)


    Shall I just write that in here:


    Cheers,

    The -Xms just sets the start memory, but it does not assign the max amount of memory the game is allowed to allocate (this is done via the -Xmx argument).
    You can assign custom arguments to the game by creating a textfile called "args" in the game directory, however, I don't recommend to do this, since this overrides all arguments which are set by the game (direct memory, garbage collector, error handler etc). To assign different memory limits, please use the +memory DIRECT HEAP launch option posted by @dagoline. DIRECT is the amount of direct memory, HEAP is the amount of heap memory. Setting 3 GB for direct memory is always more than sufficient, having 4 or 5 GB for heap memory is also fine. So if you want the game to use 8 GB of RAM (it's recommendable to have at least 10 or 12 GB of RAM installed in this case), you can use the 2nd launch option posted by @dagoline: +memory 3072 5120 ;)
