Hi all,

Been playing Minecraft all last week. Last night, tried to start it and got an Out of Memory error (see below for details). Tried rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling, getting the latest version of Java - all the same error. I confirmed I have plenty of memory available. Any ideas?

are not compatible choices.

Hi gerbil,

Can you please expound on that? I don't think I made any modifications to the Xmx flag, certainly not between when it worked and when it did not. Also, I have been using those resource packs for months with no problems. Why would you say they are not compatible?

How can I remove the resource packs if I can't even start the game?

Thanks!

This is the default JVM Arguments: "-Xmx1G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -Xmn128M"

You can open options.txt with a text editor like WordPad and find the line for resource packs and set it to: "resourcePacks:[]" (That's open square bracket [ close square bracket ] )

Thanks gerbil, not sure how the JVM arguments got changed. I changed them back to what you listed. However, it still crashes when I use the resource packs. I removed them per your instructions and now it starts. Any idea what could cause the resource packs I've used for months to suddenly cause a crash?

Not really, no. Are you sure nothing changed?
