Game Crashes when creating very large maps

[strange trellis]

My game keeps crashing and never loads the giant maps after i turned on experimental mode. A warning message appears "Memory Error" is written on it.

If you encounter java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error, that means that the game ran out of memory (ram) while processing your request or action.

If you're on mobile, there's not much you can do to alleviate this issue, closing other applications in the background might help. For PC, you can simply increase the maximum heap space as a launch argument. For example -Xmx4G will let the game use up to 4 gigabytes of memory. That is, of course if you have enough memory. Generally, it's not a good idea to allocate more than 50% of your entire system memory. If that doesn't work and you're on PC, please check if you have 64 bit Java installed, because if you don't, game can only use 2 gigabytes of memory.

Ptag crash

When submitting a good crash report, please provide the details of when or under what circumstances the game crashed as well as the following files which can be found in TheoTown folder:

• crash.txt
• log.txt
• out.txt
  You can find out TheoTown's directory for your system by checking out Ptag files.

Moreover, if you can trigger the game to crash with the same error in a reproducible fashion, please mention that in your report as well as that helps us get it to crash on our own machines which in turn lets use fix it easier.

Does it only crash when your trying to make large regions?

[strange trellis]

yes only then, before that a few crashes happened when downloading plugins but they still worked

in this case there is only a loading screen when i go on that region

[zinc drift]

So does it crash or just take a while to load?

[strange trellis]

It crashes and i close the game, after that the region (Giant one) i tried to install is only represented as a loading screen and with the name "Stuckenborstel"

still loads

[zinc drift]

Can you get these files

[strange trellis]

i got into steam, common and theotown folder but theres only like bin, server and other folders like that
