#Project Zomboid allocating more memory

Hi,

I've recently just got back into PZ and noticed a major stuttering problem being even slightly zoomed out (with mods I know this can be a cause but I don't have that many), and was wondering what value am I editing to increase the threshold for memory? I noticed there was 2 "xmx" options, but when I looked it up, people mentioned there is an XM and XMS value, but neither are present. I've edited both of these xmx options and noticed no change.

My drivers are fully up to date if this matters.

Experiencing Some Stutters?

It might be a lack of RAM issue.

On your gaming PC....

    1. Close project zomboid entirely.
    1. Open steam
    1. Open the project zomboid steam page
    1. On the right side of the screen, click on the small gear icon.
    1. Scroll to Manage
    1. Select Browse Local Files
    1. Scroll down in this folder until you find ProjectZomboid64.json
    1. Right click on that file and open it with Note Pad
    1. Scroll down in that file until you find the section with the header VMargs
    1. Find the sub-line under that header labeled Xmx3072m
    1. Highlight "3072m" and replace it with "8g"
    1. After the change, the line should read "Xmx8g",
    1. Close the file and accept changes
    1. Project Zomboid is now allowed to use up to 8gb of RAM rather than only 3gb.

NOTE: If your PC system only has 8gb of RAM total, then change the value to "4g". Players with 16gb+ of RAM are fine to allocate 8gb to PZ.

Community guide that is convoluted.
