also to go above a certain amount (I think 2048) you have to be using a 64 bit OS, as well as the 64 bit version of java.
I am. I was using the .bat method before without any problems.
Could having both 64 bit and 32 bit java installed cause the issue? I have them both installed because I use java for more than just minecraft and 64 bit doesn't work with most browsers.

it may be defaulting to the 32 bit version of java... in the next update I will specify the java path for 64 bit.
the new version is up. so far I have tested it on 64 bit Windows 7, and 32 bit windows XP.
It also has better support for java 7 beta, if you're interested.
*edit*
On second thought, it wont matter if you install the new version. The EXE wrapper I am using is preventing it from launching in 64 bit mode. I am looking for a workaround for this...

I seem to be having issues I run the app and it runs fine and opens up minecraft but there is no "shift+tab to begin" or anything its just like the normal minecraft and when I try to go into settings it opens and then just closes

Add the desktop shortcut to steam with the "add non steam game" link in the bottom of your steam interface. I want to make it automatic in the future but for now you have to do it manually.
here is my review of this: alright, i installed it and expected it to automatically create a steam menu shortcut, that didn't happen, but i could live with just manually adding it. i added it then launched and it loaded a .bat file with the launcher, i (personally) don't like that, i like things clean and simple. but, once again, live-able. then i just tried installing the original minecraft launcher and ran it and it loaded the shift+tab stuff. overall a great program if your OCD isn't as bad as mine (its terrible, i can barely walk out of my house and feel that it is somewhat safe).

I am working on both getting it to automatically add a steam shortcut (kinda difficult from what I have been reading) and I am also probably going to remove the "console" screen and make there an option to enable it if you really want to use it.
I really made this for myself more than anything, cause I couldn't stand not being able to use it with steam. I thought it would be a good idea for me to make a public release of it though, as it would give me a bit of incentive to improve my batch programming knowledge (it's quite basic at the moment)
I appreciate your review though, it'll help me prioritize features in the new releases :smile.gif:
the reason i actually made the review is to give you some helpful criticism, that is wut i always look for after making my mods. another idea that i had is that you could work with the fastercraft guy to incorporate his program, i find fastercraft very useful. i can have smooth lighting AND fancy grafix with a far render distance on my LAPTOP, that thing is amazing.

I have looked into it, and I can't say that I quite understand how "fastercraft" makes minecraft any faster. I did quite a bit of benchmarking and testing, and to be honest, it seemed to me that there was little or no performance difference. I also looked into what the program does, and it appears it directly calls a higher version of java, and allocates a different amount of memory to minecraft... My launcher already has these settings available. I am still looking into it, but the author of the program has said that there is to be no decompiling of his source, and he does not provide public access to his source code, so there isn't a lot that I can look at.
anyway I appreciate your input, and I will look into adding some performance enhancements, if possible.

whatever you set your shortcut name to when you create it in steam

currently it does not, but I am working on a new version that has support for portable installs.
