Critical Bug: Memory Leak

by **Ronin009** » 21 Nov 2018, 03:27

I have the newest version of Forge: 1.6.18 Running on Windows 7 32-bit. After playing for a little while Forge starts running slower and slower. Checking the Windows Task Manager I find that Forge's java runtime is eating up over 1,000,000 KB of RAM--i.e. a memory leak. This is a very serious issue that needs to be looked at.

This has been a known issue for a very long time. It has something to do with garbage collection routines in Java not working very well with Forge's code, IIRC. Increasing the heap space allocated to Java does a bit to alleviate the issue.
