## Issues / bugs
|
|
|
|
Before you create a new issue, take a look at the [List of things already fixed but not yet released](https://github.com/magefree/mage/wiki/Features-and-fixes-not-released-yet#features-and-fixes-not-released-yet) to avoid creating uneccessary new issues.
|
|
Also there is always a bug thread in the [Official XMage forum](http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=70) which we check regularly.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
* Download [latest XMage launcher file](http://xmage.de) and put it to any folder like `D:\games\xmage`;
|
|
* You need to have [Java version 8 or later](http://java.com/) to run it;
|
|
* If you can't run it then create `run-LAUNCHER.cmd` text file in launcher folder and put that line to it and save as ANSI format:
|
|
* `java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar`
|

## Performance tweaks
|
|
|
|
If you have a good GPU, it's very likely you'll be able increase performance by **a lot** through extra Java flags.
|
|
|
|
XMage runs on JRE 8, so [this link](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/2d/flags.html) should give you the available flags.
|
|
|
|
### How to enable the extra flags
|
|
|
|
1. Launch XMage
|
|
2. In the menu bar from the launcher, click on "Settings", which will open up the Settings Window
|
|
3. Go to the "Java" tab
|
|
4. You can pass extra flags by editing the "Client java options" text field
|
|
|
|
### Linux guide
|
|
|
|
#### Enable OpenGL
|
|
|
|
[Link](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/2d/flags.html#opengl)
|
|
|
|
`-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true`
|
|
|
|
_**Caveat**_: [There's a bug](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6545140) with the file chooser when OpenGL is enabled (you use the file chooser when you, for instance, try to load a deck from disk). The [suggested workaround](https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6439320) will make the game crash, so it's not an option.
|
|
|
|
_**Workaround**_: When using [i3](https://github.com/i3/i3), you're able to work around the bug by toggling the "floating" capabilities of the window and forcing it to re-render.
|
|
|
|
#### Enable XRender
|
|
|
|
[Link](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/2d/flags.html#xrender)
|
|
|
|
`-Dsun.java2d.xrender=true`
|
|
|
|
#### Bigger upfront heap size
|
|
|
|
[SO explanation](https://stackoverflow.com/a/57839720/8401696)
|
|
|
|
This is not guaranteed to yield improvements, but it depends on your use-case. If you have a lot of RAM to spare, you might as well increase the initial heap size for good measure.
|
|
|
|
`-Xms1G -Xmx2G`
