I was having a different issue with Alice, so I updated Java and my graphics driver. Now Alice immediately fails to load, with the messages and errors box saying only this: Code: The game is running. Please wait. Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Process ended with code: 1 In the launcher's options, I've set the minimum memory to 1024, the maximum to 2048, and the PermGen to 256.
Do You have installed java 64-bits? I had the exact same problem and i solved it by installing java 64-bit
Thats exactly it. Copper basically 32 bit java cannot address the 2048 (2gb) memory that you have asked it to allocate, therefore it is failing to create the java VM. By installing the x64 version of java you have the possibility to assign what i believe to be around 200+TB of ram! (Theoretically of course)
Thanks for your help, guys. Getting 64-bit solved the problem. I probably won't show up on Alice much until the next update, but I wanted to make sure everything works before that.
Windows only supports up to 192GB of RAM, and I'm pretty sure Unix-based systems don't expand on that much. And that's before we even start talking about hardware :3
The JVM has a THEORETICAL limit of 256TB of RAM iirc. Also Windows supports more than that there is a server at my brothers workplace (datacentre) it has 960GB of ram. Which I believe the max is 4TB.
