I’m getting a “Out of Memory” message that directs me to “increase max heap size” in the Preferences. I tried that, and then rebooted VASSAL. No Joy. I’ve got nearly 27 Gb available on the hard drive.
Any suggestions?

What did you have for max heap? To what did you change it?
Heap size has nothing to do with your hard disk, btw. It’s the amount of
RAM that Java will let VASSAL use.

I raised it from 512 to 1024 as recommended by the module write up. That didn’t work, so I raised it to 2048. Still nothing.

In what way did changing the max heap to 1024 not work?

Hey uckelman,
Thanks for the replies.
I’m still getting the same “Out of Memory” message. It’s as if changing the increasing the max heap size did nothing. All other modules run fine.

How much RAM does your machine have?

Please send the errorLog from immediately after a run in which you’ve
had an “Out of Memory” message. (You can find the errorLog via the Help
menu of the Module Manager.)

RAM: 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Note: I’m running it on a MacBook Pro. I have another, newer MacBook Pro with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, same issue. Also, I did get the “Processing Image Tiles” window open up prior to attempting to run it.

Increase your maximum heap size for the module. (Look on the General
tab in Preferences for the module.)

Hey uckelman!
That did it!!
Thank you SO much for your help! I was really getting frustrated, as I was really looking forward to playing this game on VASSAL.
