Ridiculous Server Lag and How To Fix It

the other option is download the jar that notch says to use for linux and create a .bat file to start it, this is what i do and it works fine, though i haven't seen my memory usage go above a few hundred megs on the client (i give it 4Gb max)

also, "Program Files (x86)" is what windows tends to use for 32bit executables and "Program Files" is for 64bit executables on a 64 bit system, though realistically you could have java or any other program installed anywhere it doesn't matter

 

Ohh alright (regarding the bandwidth).

 

ya that will put 64 in front of 32 in the path. or at least it did for me.

 

@Kevin Forte

have you tried this?

you really don't need to uninstall/reinstall java to rearrange your path

a) you can simply change it in my computer, properties, advanced, environment
b) path order doesn't really matter when you are already specifying the path in the start command

 

You are so right, however, I tried both of those and couldn't get it to work so I suggested the sort of easier more understandable , for me at least, way to get the 64 to override the 32. As I said it worked for me.

 

If you have both installed you can just uninstall the 32bit version from add remove programs

 

So, right now, my batch file looks like this:

Code:

@echo off
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
pause

It seems to be running faster, but I couldn't allot more than 1GB of memory to it or it gave me error messages.

 

Remove (x86) from that path, thats the 32bit version so it cant use more ram.

 

Hm, oddly enough, I just realized I don't seem to have the 64-bit version of Java, even after I just downloaded it from the link that said specifically 64-Bit. I know this is a dumb thing to ask, but can you direct me to where I can get the 64-bit version?

 

this page should always provide the latest jre
(click JRE under the java picture)

 

Success! I have it running Java 64-Bit and utilizing 4gb of RAM, thanks for all the help! Is there anything else I might be able to do besides that whole batch file ordeal for a slightly faster experience? (Although even in the loading of the plugins and server itself I can tell it is exponentially faster)

 

Running a ramdisk would be another option.

 

How does this work?

 

This post has a bit of information for Windows users.

 

I'll have a write up on windows server setup in a couple days.

 

I'm having the same problem and it says "[WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?" and none of your solutions helped.

 

well that there could very well be your problem, not even 1mb/s upload, I dont think 2 ppl would overload that but it might contribute
