1.8.1 is out, with fixes for the "shift-click" crashing issue with chests and dispensers! Before the patch was released, user RoosterInASuit discovered a way to customize the new panoramic Main Menu background! The technique is fairly simple and easy to follow - what sort of customized backgrounds can you make?

No offence but what is the point of customizing something you will see for a very brief few seconds before you go onto multiplay/single-player?

I feel your pain and i'm on Mac OS 10.5.8

I myself am still waiting for them to fix that whole issue, I know they wanna make the game look nicer with the new lighting but changing the system requirements after we bought the game kinda sucks lol

i dont like the hunger bar i wish you could turn it off :sad.gif:

When they changed lighting system it raised the OpenGL from 1.2 to 1.3, a lot of peoples comp can only use 1.2.

To those of you having issues:
(NOTE) I am not a professional
-Black screen on world load:
--I had this same problem, think it was because I was using an HD texture pack (photorealism x256) so after the 1.8 update it was still trying to load this HD pack even though certain files needed to be re-patched to support HD.
--Completely erased my .minecraft\texturepacks directory, worlds now load fine
--download latest MCpatcher and run it
--download latest versions of texture packs after making sure they are compatible with 1.8, put these back into the texture pack directory, yadda yadda, minecraft is now beautiful again AND you have an xp gauge! (anyone know what this does by the way?)

-Poor performance issues:
--make sure you have the standalone java and make sure its right for your OS (MAC vs Windows, x32 vs x64, etc...)
--access java settings and increase the memory allocation to it in powers of 2 (if its 512, increase to 1024, 2058, etc..)
--I would not advise allocating more memory than you actually have in your system

GOOD LUCK FELLOW CRAFTERS!
<currently listening to Greenface by Iced Earth... AWESOME>

Might work for some but for others it won't, new lighting system changed the system requirements so you now need a graphics card that can use OpenGL 1.3 instead of 1.2. My graphics card can't be upgraded so my only option would be to get a whole new comp, and seeing how I net the requirements when I paid for the game I should not have to do that.

I am having same issue, they say we need Open GL 1.3 or higher, do they expect thousands of consumers to runout and upgrade or get new computers or are they going to fix this?

I'm in the same boat. 1.7 had around 20-35 FPS, but 1.8 is yielding 4-8 FPS. Both are on lowest settings possible (1.7's render distance is set to "Normal," however, where as 1.8's render distance is set to "Tiny").

And to make matters worse, it seems as if this problem isn't widespread and, as such, the amount of attention it's getting (both from forum users and Mojang themselves) is nominal at best.

I am very sad panda.

Please! Don't leave me in the dark here!

Quote from Urstoff

Indeed, the lag is the main problem in 1.8 to me. And it seems the lag is caused by the graphics. My machine has 4 gigs of RAM, i5 2.40 CPU. This should be well suited for Minecraft, CPU wise, honestly. And this system has Intel HD graphics.

Now I hear everyone crying "don't use Intel graphics". But fact is:

1.7 worked about 2 times faster than 1.8 _with_ exactly that chipset, and that with settings set to fog "Normal". It was _very well playable_. Currently I can play 1.8 with each and any setting to the lowest possible.

I do understand the minecraft developers may raise hardware requirements when developing new features. But to what price? Minecraft is a genius game. But I am not willing to update my hardware for a game, that raised its hardware requirements during update in such a extreme way.

So I'll probably wait if one of the devs takes care for this problem, and if nothing happens I'll stop playing minecraft as it makes no sense to play it in tiny fog at 10 FPS.

Totally agree ill just wait till notch makes it lag less.
