# Client Crash: RAM Pressure on Low-End Hardware
|
|
|
|
## Status: Resolved (Feb 24, 2026)
|
|
|
|
## Symptom
|
|
|
|
Game launches but crashes with exit code 1 after ~32 seconds. Launcher logs show stale `java.exe(HytaleServer)` killed on every relaunch. Earlier sessions showed game running for ~4 minutes before `System.OutOfMemoryException`.
|
|
|
|
## Affected User
|
|
|
|
- Discord: KULVIN
|
|
- Hardware: Intel UHD 620 + NVIDIA MX150 (2GB VRAM), low-end laptop
|
|
- 22 mods installed
|
|
- Platform: Windows x64
|
|
|
|
## Root Cause
|
|
|
|
RAM pressure from background apps + 22 mods. The game's .NET client ran out of memory, and the embedded singleplayer server JVM (no `-Xmx` cap) competed for the same limited RAM.
|
|
|
|
## Timeline
|
|
|
|
1. Morning session: Game ran ~4 minutes, then `System.OutOfMemoryException` crashed client, server JVM crashed with `EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION`
|
|
2. Evening sessions: Game started crashing in ~32 seconds (system still degraded from earlier OOM)
|
|
3. Server JVM orphaned every time (cleaned up by `killGameProcesses()` on next launch)
|
|
|
|
## Resolution
|
|
|
|
User fixed by:
|
|
1. Closing background applications to free RAM
|
|
2. Reinstalling the game
|
|
|
|
## Additional Issues Found
|
|
|
|
- `WeaponStatsViewer` mod left a directory (not a .jar) in `HytaleSaves\Mods\`, causing EPERM on every mod sync
|
|
- Stale AOT cache (`HytaleServer.aot`) cleaned up automatically by launcher
|
|
|
|
## Debugging Steps (for similar cases)
|
|
|
|
1. Check RAM usage in Task Manager before launching
|
|
2. Windows Event Viewer (Win+R → `eventvwr.msc` → Application) for crash module details
|
|
3. Try with all mods disabled
|
|
4. Reboot to clear degraded memory state
|
|
5. Close background apps (browsers, Discord, etc.)
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations
|
|
|
|
- Low-end hardware: reduce mod count (10 or fewer)
|
|
- Consider adding `-Xmx` cap to singleplayer server JVM to prevent unbounded memory growth
