Wiki page contains detail information about private or public server setup.

The XMage server locates by default the configuration file from the current working directory to the relative pathconfig/config.xml(config\config.xml in Windows). To change this location, start the server with the propertyxmage.config.path setto the desired location, for example-Dxmage.config.path=config/otherconfig.xml. The option can be set from theXMageLauncher inSettings > Java > Server java options.

Github issues page containpopular problems and fixes:

• Program freezes on startup (white/blue/black screen);
• Can't download images or it stops after some time;
• MacOS can't open launcher
• MacOS client freezes in GUI (on connect dialog, on new match);
• Ugly cards and GUI drawing in games;
• No texts or small buttons in launcher;
• Can't run client, could not open ...jvm.cfg.

If you have a good GPU, it's very likely you'll be able increase performance bya lot through extra Java flags.

XMage runs on JRE 8, sothis link should give you the available 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

More info aboutOpenGL:

• -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true

Possible problems:

• Caveat:There's a bug with the file chooser when OpenGL is enabled (you use the file chooser when you, for instance, try to load a deck from disk). Thesuggested workaround will make the game crash, so it's not an option.
• Workaround: When usingi3, you're able to work around the bug by toggling the "floating" capabilities of the window and forcing it to re-render.

More info aboutXRender:

• -Dsun.java2d.xrender=true

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.More details aboutmemory settings:
