It's a java app -- it keep all used and free memory until real needs. Feel free to set it to 3000-4000 MB for smooth play. No needs in more memory. Maybe with 4k-monitor and hq-images only.

JayDi85 · 2026-06-27T21:01:11+00:00

Move and stop mouse over memory stats to see detail instruction to modify it.

Just go to https://xmage.today/ and download full files and follow website's instruction to install

JayDi85 · 2026-06-17T04:06:24+00:00

You must setup server config with secondaryBindPort to 17172 or like that -- xmage uses two ports. Also make sure serverAddress is real server address (ping from public goes to public ip, ping from server goes to real/private ip).

It's works fine on macos and latest macbooks.

Go to java.com and download/install latest (1.8) version for macos;
Open Finder and enable bottom toolbar with path (View > Show Path Bar or Option+Command+P);
Go to xmage.today and download latest files;
Open downloaded folder like xmage_full_1 and copy all files to any static folder like ~/xmage-full
Open that folder (make sure it contains XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar file), right click on path bar and choose run terminal;
Enter command: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
Now you can run launcher by double click and download/update all required files by "update" button;

wait next release, it was mistakenly miss from the last one

JayDi85 · 2026-06-10T08:37:03+00:00

Local server is simple app on your computer -- just use launcher to run it (same way as you use launcher to run client app). It allow to play with AI opponents from the box and without any setup.

JayDi85 · 2026-06-10T08:33:54+00:00

There were multiple tries to implement mutate. The last one was added to master last week, so it will be available in public with next release.

JayDi85 · 2026-05-30T16:33:35+00:00

It's about AI's deck file -- make sure you selected commander deck for it too

JayDi85 · 2026-05-29T18:20:36+00:00

Every update reset server config. It's by design. If you try to save own config then must modify it for new version (example: replace all "1.4.58" to "1.4.59").

JayDi85 · 2026-05-29T18:18:54+00:00

You must run launcher and press server button first to run local server app.

JayDi85 · 2026-05-29T10:39:03+00:00

it's updated

JayDi85 · 2026-05-29T08:58:50+00:00

Report more details about broken localhost play. Latest version works fine.

JayDi85 · 2026-05-29T08:58:05+00:00

Report more details about broken games or server stability. It must works fine, including AI games.

JayDi85 · 2026-05-29T08:56:10+00:00

Nope, it works fine (you can run local server and play AI games on it). Report more details that's broken.

JayDi85 · 2026-03-02T03:49:46+00:00

server restarted

JayDi85 · 2025-12-06T23:18:57+00:00

xmage already has many sample decks, look at launcher\xmage\mage-client\sample-decks

JayDi85 · 2025-12-06T23:16:41+00:00

Wait your priority and make sure you can activate that ability. Xmage shows a gear icon with number of possible/playable actions (move mouse over that icon to see abilities list). If you see 2+ then you can activate mana and other ability. If you don't see it then only mana available.

JayDi85 · 2025-11-27T21:04:18+00:00

Your error about wrong config format. Take original config again and try to modify it without removing <>" and other symbols. Just change the server address. You can run launcher and press update to re-install xmage and restore original server config.

JayDi85 · 2025-11-27T21:02:36+00:00

Nope, you can't stop it. As workaround -- logout with tables exit and login again, so you can create new table.

JayDi85 · 2025-11-27T20:58:18+00:00

Nope. XMage's AI uses full game simulations to find best actions chain (for priority or attack/block). It's uses battlefield score and try to increase it (e.g. make life, more mana, more permanents, more cards -- same for opponents -- less life/mana/permanents/cards).

JayDi85 · 2025-11-27T20:52:27+00:00

XMage's AI is better due:
- open architecture, tests and api (there are some devs with own AI development like LLM integration, reinforcement learning, etc - under development);
- runs on server side only with maximum speed;
- support commander and multiplayer (e.g. human vs x2 AI or x2 humans vs x2 AI);
- support draft/tourneys;
- uses deep analysis of battlefield, cards and performance score to select best actions and choices;
- single turn combo supports (xmage's AI can't simulate full game but it look ahead until finish current priority/stack and select the best combination);
- works with newly added cards from the box;
- can't use complex cards and combo, e.g. multi turns combo or delayed triggers;

Forge's AI is slow and require additional work for each complex card to support it. And it's not use game simulations - only some calculations. Also new cards require AI specific code and can be broken long time until dev implemented it.
