Crazy Craft 3 not working?

[Aran Klair]

Whenever i try to load cc 3, it says unable to create java virtual machine. I followed the guide on this website saying to change the amount of ram java can use and set it to a gig and even tried 2 gig but no luck. Anyone know why? (BTW, i have 8 gb of ram toal with 2 sticks working dual channel)

well, first questions of course are obvious ones. Quick googling tells it's related to minecraft (which you didn't mention) and looking at launcher page, they expressly say you HAVE to use 64 bit java for it. Possible problem point?

Next question of course could be, are you trying to run the client or server?

next question is, does normal minecraft work? and if it does, do you use 32 bit or 64 bit java to run it?

Is there a way of checking which version of java I'm using and can you link me to the right one? Btw, normal minecraft works fine.

Control panel has it's own part for java. Depending on if java is included in path, you can also try it on command prompt or through windows explorer
java sits in program files(x86) if 32 bit and in program files if 64 bit. path name usually tells the java version too.
following would work if your java version was 64 bit and 1.8.051 which it most likely is not, Java tends to update quite often.
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_51\bin\java.exe" -version
for latest version, it would be: and yes, since path contains spaces, "'s are necessary
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_60\bin\java.exe" -version

however to clarify another possibility, the java command might have something typed wrong:
Unrecognized option: --version
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

in that, I first tried --version instead of -version and.. fail. so if your original launching command has a typo, error message should reflect it

in any case, java can be downloaded from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
I would choose the 2nd from bottom x64 version.

Little-me - can you please help me? I am trying to install Crazy Craft but when it goes to load Minecraft it gets up to 2/7 then crashes. In the report it states "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded". Can you suggest anything?

Ghost relix , pm him. Its likely he hasn't been on here in a long time.
