I reloaded FTB from scratch to clean up my hard drive a bit, and now I'm getting the awful lag spikes too. Searching for a solution but I have a question. Please advise and correct anything I have wrong. Monster v1.1.2, no Optifine, just default everything except I turn Opis on in the mod list.
I have 32GB of RAM because I'm a photographer and do a lot of photoshopping... I like to set my FTB launcher to use 8GB because I use the Sphax 128x resource pack which I understand requires 8 gigs. I tried 2GB and game wouldn't run. I tried 3GB and the game ran, but it was all stuttering and laggy. I tried 4GB and it ran fine, but after a few minutes the stuttering and lag showed up. Finally, I put the slider up to 8GB but still getting stuttering so I'm thinking it's my java arguments (java is up to date, I have both 32 bit and 64 bit installed).
So here's my question - when I copy the java arguments from
this helpful thread for "FTB Launcher", it only allocates "2048m" for -Xms. Should I change that to -Xms8192m in my situation, or is that going to cause me the apparently well-known problem with the "java garbage collection"? Is that what my stuttering is all about?
Before I stupidly decided to reinstall my FTB, everything was running just fine with the slider on 8GB and the same java arguments. I played around with shaders the other day which is why I decided to wipe everything out and start fresh again.
