Memory use soared to 2 G

Launcher updated and since the memory use has soared.
One instance of minecraft client taking 2G.
Can no longer run more than one instance where i was able to run 3

Doesn't seem to make any difference whether 1.13.2 or snapshot. Memory goes up to this level with just the launcher.

Same here ! Minecraft is now using a minimum memory of 2GB and I can't seem to fix the problem. Big issue when you want to run other programs or run two instances of Minecraft !

The launcher now uses 2GB by default

Well the client is using 2.5G now. This is completely unreasonable in my view. How can we limit the amount of memory it uses for those of us that dont have copious amounts of RAM.

In the options of the profile replace -Xmx2G with -Xmx1G

Note that there are some issues that only appear when you have set the RAM to 1GB

how comes it is running using 2.5G RAM if it is set to 2G?

The -Xmx sets the maximum for one specific part of the memory, it also needs to store the heap and other memory areas so it will use a bit more

Also the launcher process isnt getting killed off so i am having to kill it with the task manager in order to be able to start another instance

And thank you for your prompt and helpful responses
