We have a client that is randomly crashing. I checked the clients tab of the gateway and the picture of the client memory is attached.

I have also attached the settings for client heap from designer.

Why does the client only show a max heap of 256M? There was a similar forum issue for this on version 8.0.7 i think. It looks like the issue still persists. I should also note I tinkered with the client launcher memory settings and null values being saved to .conf file still happens. It appears these values in the .conf file are also ignored as i tried tinkering with them and relaunching, still 256M.

Thanks,

Frank

I would download and install the latest client launcher and try again. If you updated from an earlier version you still need to manually update the client launcher.

You may need to re-create your shortcuts from the launcher.
