RAM increase does not seem to be working

[Druidjezus]

Greetings. New here so please go easy if this is a dumb question.

 

I am trying run a Forge server and I was very excited that I got the mods working and everything, but my batch file does not seem to be increasing the RAM. I am running version 10.13.2.1291 and the contents of my batch folder is like this, and yes I did rename my forge server jar to forge-server.jar:

 

@echo off

javaw -d64 -Xms2048M -Xmx8192M -jar forge-server.jar

 

But when the server loads it is indicating ~270MB used and saying only ~35% is free. Is this just a GUI issue or is the memory cap not increasing?

 

Thanks for any assistance!

I'm sorry, that was a typo (I'm at work so I had to view it on my phone and retype it)

 

It should be -Xmx8192M, I will update the original post. I do run it via the batch file though and it is up and operational right now, I'm just worried about the memory allotment once I start to allow a few more friends on to the server.

I wonder if I need to increase the initial heap size if it is basing it off that? I saw the command for that on another thread so I'll give that a try and see if that makes a difference.

 

I suppose as long as the server isn't crashing from overloading the memory it isn't a big concern, I only plan to have maybe 6-10 people on the server at any one time.

So I added -Xss2048M and now it is working, curious as Vanilla did not require it but happy it is working =D
