you set the server ram too high. change it from 16gb to something more reasonable for your PC

Alright let me change it

winged cliff Alright let me change it

your computer has 8gb of ram total. PZ client uses 3 by itself.
I recommend 3Gb allocated to the server.

I tried that and it says terminated

vestal spire Apr 11, 2026, 10:36 PM

#

but honestly, this looks like a laptop with not enough RAM to run a server

winged cliff Apr 11, 2026, 10:37 PM

#

I ran a server in build 41 though

#

did build 42 change that as well?

vestal spire Apr 11, 2026, 10:37 PM

#

b42 is more demanding than b41

#

all i can recommend is to research a RAM upgrade, 8GB is not enough for gaming in 2026

I tried all of the options and none worked, I was just trying to set up a server so I could help my sibling run like 3 mods in build 42 muliplayer

#

because we tried last night and none of the mods were working

vestal spire Apr 11, 2026, 10:43 PM

#

yeah... sorry man. i know how expensive computers are.

#

How unstable are mods in b42 mp? last night we tried to get 3 mods into the server and none worked

vestal spire Apr 11, 2026, 10:45 PM

#

very. each update breaks a lot of mods.

winged cliff Apr 11, 2026, 10:46 PM
