This is not a bug, but a sign that you've run out of allocated memory.
To fix it:
- open the Properties of the shortcut you use to start VASSAL, look
for the Target, it will be something like "<path>/AMvassal.jnlp".
- follow the *exact* <path> & open that file in a text editor.
- you'll see a portion of this file that reads:
<j2se version="1.4+" max-heap-size="128m"/>
- alter this to read:
<j2se version="1.4+" initial-heap-size="128m" max-heap-size="128m"/>
- careful! don't add any extraneous chars or carriage-returns to this
file! Save & close.
Java uses a 'default' initial-heap-size of 64meg, this is usually
insufficient to update mongo save-games. With the new, larger heap,
you'll also find that large savegames open faster (using RAM instead
of scratch-disk memory).
If your box only has 128meg RAM, this edit might not help at all. If
your box has >256meg RAM, and you still have trouble, edit that
same .jnlp & replace both instances of "128m" w/ "256m". But in my
experience w/ VASL, you'd need a super-large # of very complex game-
pieces to need more than 128meg for VASSAL.
Note: If you use game-specific shortcuts to open the modfiles, they
might have their own .jnlp files, which will also need to be
modified. And if you update your VASSAL, the .jnlp file will be
overwritten by the new install & you'll have to re-do the
modification.
