    1. Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
    It says out of memory, are you sure you're allocating 8gb? Thats a lot though

    My goodness Penagwin, you're quite good at self-advertising...

    For whatever odd reason, it doesn't seem to be your whole crash log, perhaps you can upload it as a file if the entire thing refuses to fit into Pastebin. Until then (aside from potentially using that launcher), there isn't much I can tell you to do.

    You need to get 64-bit java, and then allocate about 4gb of RAM. Do you have any installations of Java besides the 64-bit one?

    Check line 6 of the Pastebin he sent.

    I had Java 32 bit installed while I was working on a new version of ssh_rd for iPhones but I happens to remove it completely .
    Besides I have Java Dev pack installed -- is that a problem ? I'm using eclipse for my stuff but I'm not really a genious in Java though ...
    Yeah I could tell that the game is running out of memory, but I thought that wasn't the problem.
    Also the 8192 mb of ram are 100% correctly allocated
    And also I know that it should work better with less ram ...
    But it isn't working at all :(
    And also I can't upload the log as its neither uploading the file nor saving it -- little data system bug (<- Not important)

    Check this thread. Context is pretty much on the first page, answer on the second.

    It may be an issue in which your Java Options are limiting the max amount of RAM you can allocate (even though you may have put it up to 8gb), so give the solution by LordRedstone in there a try and get back to us.

    Make sure you have 64-bit Java and set the path to Java in the launcher manually.

    Siioh is referring to this post, however I'm pretty sure that's not the problem Actually might be. Try the solution there first.

    You're getting a GC overhead limit exceeded error; this means the JVM is using 98% of the CPU on garbage collection. Usually this can be solved by increasing the heap size, e.g. -Xmx8G. Send us a screenshot of where you set your minimum and maximum memory, your Java Options, and your _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable (refer to this post).

    My Launcher defaults it's ram amount higher, permgen higher, and will warn if the user is using 32 bit java. I recommend it in case (I really do mean no offense) they didn't do one of those things.

    It wouldn't have to be "my" launcher if somebody accepted a certain pull request. *COUGH* *COUGH*
