Title: Keep up the good work! Post by: Anxst on November 04, 2014, 02:28:57 PM Hi there,
Just wanted to say I love the concept for this game. It's almost un-playable with my Mac client. Every couple of minutes it freezes for about 30 seconds. Just made my donation. Keep me in the loop. Love to see where this is going. I have been reading the book Ready Player One lately and it's really getting me jazzed for a sandbox/RPG game. Best, -~Anxst~ Title: Re: Keep up the good work! Post by: pspeed on November 04, 2014, 02:49:08 PM Thanks for the kind words. Sorry you are having issues on your Mac. It sounds like maybe garbage collection is thrashing pretty heavily which makes me wonder if it is ignoring the memory settings for some reason.
Can you post a screen shot with the in-game memory read out on it? (Or is that memory read-out in red by any chance?) Title: Re: Keep up the good work! Post by: Sean on November 04, 2014, 06:30:50 PM I usually assume its 32 bit Java.
Title: Re: Keep up the good work! Post by: pspeed on November 04, 2014, 11:08:27 PM I usually assume its 32 bit Java. I develop on 32 bit Java. The heap settings are heavily tuned so if they revert to the JVM defaults then there will be the issue described... especially if it happens even while sitting still and not even looking around (animations pause for 30 seconds, etc.). If it happens only when looking around and not while moving (Say, you were facing east and then turn to face west and get a long hang) then it's something else. But regular long pauses no matter what are almost invariably Java performing a full garbage collection sweep because it was running out available heap memory. Most likely cause is that the memory settings aren't right... and at some point I added it so that the HUD shows the max memory in red if it was not what I expected. (Which signals false positive on 64 bit Java.) Title: Re: Keep up the good work! Post by: pspeed on November 05, 2014, 12:56:22 AM Just made my donation. Keep me in the loop. Love to see where this is going. P.S.: Hooked you up with your Donator's status here on the forum. You should be able to access the donators-only section (plus now you have your cool dragon icons under your name). :) Title: Re: Keep up the good work!
