Tracker could not be started due to OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Laura Quintero
1 Posts

Hi everyone,

I have downloaded the latest version of Tracker and when running it I get the error message: "out of memory error java heap space", I can't open tracker by tracker.jar

I have tried to open the file "tracker.prefs" in the text editor but when saving and exiting, a text box appears saying that the owner of the program does not allow editing the space due to encoding.

I have also tried to download the old version and it does not allow to open videos because I get a message saying that the video engine does not exist.

What should I do in this case?

Thank you, I hope for a prompt reply.

Another new version, 6.0.3, is now available and recommended. It fixes some serious bugs in particle models and model builders (which I hope many of you use ;-)

Please continue to post questions and/or bug reports on this forum. Suggestions for new features too!

PS the latest version 5.2.3, identical to 6.0.3 except that it uses the older Xuggle 3.4 engine, will soon be ready for users of older (pre-2018 or so) Mac OSX.
