Heap size

Hello. I have a PC with 12 Gigs of RAM. I’m trying to set the initial and max heap size in my VASSAL modules higher than 512/1024 and I am getting the following error:

“The maximum heap size stored in your Preferences for this module is too large. In particular, the maximum heap size must be less than the amount of physical RAM in your machine. The failsafe initial heap size of 128MB will be used instead. Please decrease the maximum heap size in your Preferences, and restart VASSAL.”

I am using Windows 8. Any suggestions?

Good Morning
did you do that?
I made a tutorial on memory

Would you send us a screen shot of the dialog where you’ve tried to set
your max heap?

To where did you send that screenshot? I haven’t seen it, and it’s not
posted here.

Don’t. A properly functioning SSD should make things like tile loading
much faster in VASSAL, and nothing slower. If you’re seeing problems in
all apps, then you might have reason to suspect your SSD. If you’re
seeing a problem with VASSAL only, then it’s unlikely that your SSD is
at fault. I say this as someone who has been doing VASSAL development
on a system with an SSD for five years now.
