That dll is only used by Tracker to read the save game file, so it really shouldn't affect the overall memory issues.

But the 64 bit Java can access much more memory than the 32 bit version.

Yes, I'm saying I doubt that dll is restricting memory. Michael provided a 64-bit dll years ago that enables Tracker to run with 64-bit Java. The Tracker guys fully support it. What update to the dll are looking for Michael to make?

It was released with the Betas, Not sure if it also got rolled up into the most recent full release. I covered it in an earlier post for Geoff, and Ii'm sure it's in the Tracker instructions on the website. Certainly in the Tracker thread too. Just look in the Beta and you see a second dll there.

If you are talking about the pwsdll7.dll, that is not a 64-bit dll.
michaelm make that for tracker when he increased the total number of pilots slots to 70,000 ( that is what the 7 is for )

I will look tonight to see if there is a newer one that is a 64-bit one.

It is the one we all use to run 64-bit Java with tracker...???

Yeah, taking a chicken and putting 'Swan' on its name-tag doesn't quite work [:D]

To be sure, just (re)install both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Java using the links I provided, then copy the Java.exe from the Program Files(x86) Java folder.
The oracle install won't let me put both in the same Java folder. I guess I could create a folder called "Java 32" and put it there. Instead I'm going to leave the Java 64 bit in the x86 Java folder and let the 32 install where it wants to go, in the regular Program Files folder. Then I will put the .exe from that in the Tracker folder.

I forgot, where it wanted to is in the x86 Java folder in a subfolder. I'll take the .exe from the bin folder in there.

No error. I tried to do a multi-turn load and this happened.

You know what, I'm wrong, turns 2 through 31 are all labelled "2" and they're in the right order. That Treasury Islands sighting was last turn.

Ha! I'm yet once more wrong. Turn 32 has everything that has happened to date and not in chronological order. I expect it'll be ok after this.
