Everytime I go to play minecraft in browser it stops on "simulating world for a bit" and it will never load a map.....and if i download it everytime I click to play a world it closes out of the launcher completely. My computer is a Compaq Presario with 3200+ AMD Athlon XP Processor with 512 MB of DDR SDRAM Memory..I am wondering what i can do so i can play minecraft on this computer..without the obvious answer of just buy a new computer. And if playing on this computer isnt possible could i possibly create a server on it at least???
You don't have enough RAM to play. I guess you could try to run a server, but I doubt that it will work, and if it does, it won't work well. You need a new computer.
Not so, I run a server on a computer that can't play minecraft.
