Thanks for the quick reply, but I must pester you further. My google-fu is weak today and trying "2gb fix" doesn't give any sensible results in first five pages. What is this fix and where can I download it or read how to apply?
hi rythin, see this post which talks about how to 'spoon-feed' Matchmaker a specified amount of memory manually - try playing with the '768' figure and see if you can get it to work.
Oh, and also, I see you say "I have all other apps apart from CK2 closed". Ck2 uses a _huge_ amount of memory - try closing CK2, I bet that'll do it.
badgerken,
Thanks, it works! In my case I had to change the number up to 1024 but it eventually loaded the save properly. Also, I knew that it would run if I closed CK2, but then again it'd be hardly worth the hassle given the time CK2 takes to boot up on my machine.
Anyway, thanks again and good luck with developing your tool. I really enjoy it!
How about a distinction between different kinds of claims when looking for a match? I don't need no county claims for my heirs when I run an empire!
Hello all,
Several people have reported to me that they've had problems getting Matchmaker to work since the latest version of Ck2.
I have uploaded the source code to https://sourceforge.net/projects/crusaderkings2matchmaker/ - anyone who would like to fix bugs and/or upgrade the Matchmaker, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks to badger_ken making the source code available I have fixed this great program to work with the latest version of CK2. I hope this helps those of us playing CK2 again before CK3!
You can find the updated source code, new release and installation instructions at: I'm not allowed to directly link to it on this forum so if you go to the website github and then search for ck2_matchmaker you will find the updated version under the user nigel-gott.
I haven't had a chance to extensively test the changes I've made so far, it works for me but please post any issues or new features you'd like!
I've also added some minor new features in this first release like:
Filter by if the character has an artifact
Filter by prestige
Able to filter down to characters with no holdings (set the max holding level to none)

Nice! Any possibility to update the jar to allocate more memory at start? The default just hangs for me. Telling Java to use at least 1GB fixes that java -Xmx1024m -jar matchmaker.jar
but not everybody knows how to tell Java that. Perhaps mention it on the Github page?
Few issues in case you do decide to develop it further:
1) It parses traits list from CK2 dir only, not from the actual save, right (that could be much slower probably)? So any traits and stuff added by mods (HIP/EMF) is not visible and not reflected in char. stats? I guess adding mod support could be difficult, but do you at least have a list of files it looks at for definitions, so one could just copy and merge all the relevant files from both CK2 install AND mod dir manually into a separate dir the app would load them from?
3) The app renders with a lot of white space between dropdown boxes and stuff, making the filter part take up half the screen and leaving just half to the actual list.
4) Sorting by artifacts doesn't work for me (both ascending and descending shows none), filtering does.
5) Mod compatibility with overhaul mods that add stuff (obviously) - not that I expected any! But could it show the actual tag instead of ?? for mod defined culture or what the thing is? Or is it a different issue why it shows "??" in a few fields?
One little UI thing - the text justification of the fields is all over the place, especially the numerical stats. Age is justified to right, Claims is left, Piety is center, Stats like diplomacy is right justified. Looks UaF and makes it pretty hard to read, since the last numbers (stats) are glued right to the edge of window (no window inside border). I know it was always like that, even back in 2012 and perhaps some of the other UI issues are simply due to use of Swing GUI back then (not much you could do about apart from a rewrite I guess).
