Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx5000m

in General Discussion • Other • 5 months ago

I was trying to run a sketch and got this error... Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx5000m

It would not let me run the sketch. How do I fix this issue? I was trying to use the stt library example "STTBasic" that comes with the library. Then because that failed I tried even the most simple sketch:

void setup() {
background(0);
}
void draw() {}

Thanks in Advance

That doesn't even look like you're using the library. Is the problem caused by the library, or does it have to do with Processing in general? In fact, that looks like the command to start Java. I think you have some underlying problems going on.

Change your maximum memory settings in the Preferences dialog to lower them.
If you use a 32-bit Java, you cannot go beyond 2 or 3 GB anyway.
