Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space error

by **Deathpossum** » 26 May 2013, 02:36

Whenever I try to play a game, after about 30 seconds I get a Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen error and have to quit.

I have tried updating Java and giving more memory in the StartWin7.bat file.

Running Windows 7 64bit
Version 1.0.2 of MAGE

Does anyone know where the preferences/settings are kept? I have deleted all my MAGE files but whenever I reinstall the settings stay.

Do you use 32bit JRE version?
Because 64bit JRE won't work (at least with Windows client).
Which program gives this error, Client or Server?
Do you use local or public server?
Best use dev version, it has got a lot of bugfixes already.

In the windows registry (use Regedit.exe to change)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\mage\...

Alright, downloading dev version and JRE x86 right now. I did have x64 installed, it has been working until I downloaded 1.0.2.

I was running the client and on a public server.

When I previously got this error, i edited the startclient.bat file IN THE mage-client FOLDER and added

-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled

after -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled

Moreover, I edited the allocated memory values like this
-Xms512M -Xmx2048M -XX:MaxPermSize=384M

... but i do not know if it helped the soft to run smoother
