Allocating more RAM to a Forge 1.12.2 server

[HITBA]

Right so, my friend and I wanted to start our own little play through some mods but we couldn't find any free hosting websites for mods specifically so I bestowed the burden upon myself to make one for us. It works, I can connect, ports are forwarded, he can connect, but the amount of lag is immense, and this is just with the server. I'm probably doing something horribly stupid but I just needed to see for myself. I'm not really sure what it is that I should show whoever decides to rescue me from my plunder but if you want to see something specific just ask. Even if you are unable to help much or at all, thank you for the time you took reading and or responding.

This issue can be manyfold.

Are you getting "server overloaded" messages in the console? If so, your CPU might simply not be strong enough to run the server or you might have configured the RAM wrongly (show how you are starting the server).

If not, it might be that your internet upload speed is simply to low.

this is just me telling it to run with 2G, anything over 1G doesn't work, I have 8G available, 2 of which are being used right now for Minecraft itself but perhaps this is what you were saying about the overloading? I'm also currently running the server through a batch file, but doing so is only for allocating more ram, but i can run the server file through forge-1.12.2-14.23.2.2618-universal. Not sure how much that helps but i included it just in case

"Through a batch file" tells me nothing. You need to post the actual command.

 

What is "this"? What is the error message if you give it more than one gig? This sounds like you are using 32-bit Java, which is never a good idea.

right, here's the commandand i have been using the 32-bit, im in the process of upgrading my 32-bit pc to a 64-bit if that makes sense (im not the best with words)

Yeah, you won't have much luck running a modded server on a 32-Bit PC, sorry.

Im having a friend of mine walk me through the steps of converting my pc, thanks for helping me single out what the problem was though! And thank you for taking your time to do so!
