Thanks for the reply. yes that is what I have usually done, however for the ServerStart.bat see this code
java -server -Xms%MIN_RAM% -Xmx%MAX_RAM% -XX
ermSize=%PERMGEN_SIZE% %JAVA_PARAMETERS% -jar %FORGEJAR% nogui
In the settings.bat file, there is this code...
set MIN_RAM=4096M
set MAX_RAM=8192M
set PERMGEN_SIZE=1024M
set JAVA_PARAMETERS=-XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX
arallelGCThreads=2 -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=5 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=10
My thought was that the ServerStart.bat file is calling the settings.bat file for these values. However, changing them doesn't seem to affect the amount of memory java is using, when I look at my resource manager
