I'll send a PM to the author of this texture pack so he/she can maybe make a sidenote of this fix.

If you have an ATI Video card, are trying to use the 256x Texture Pack and are getting crashes, you need to do the following. (If you are on Windows 7 64-Bit)

1. Go to http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp, select your Operating System (Or just use this link for Win 7 64-Bit http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/ ... leId=47155 )

2. Install that.

3. Un-patch your minecraft.jar with MCPatcher (the new one), then click Options and change the heap size to 768. After that, patch Minecraft with MCPatcher.

4. Run Minecraft, open the Texture Packs folder and copy in PhotoRealism.x256.zip. Click it inside the MC Client, once, and wait. Once the client has changed textures, you can be sure the Texture Pack is working.

5. Enjoy. Hope this works. If it doesn't I can't help you, this is just what I did.

Just a by the way, this has absolutely nothing to do with ATI Video Cards...
This will only help if Java is crashing because it is out of memory. :S

256x256 wow congratulations, my head has been successfully exploded

Hmm.. Well people with ATI cards have been having this same issue and fixing this same issue in this manner.

I'm not saying it doesn't fix it... I'm saying if it fixes it the issue was not with the card being AMD...
Minecraft doesn't just have some vendetta against AMD, no idea where this rumor started...

sure they do! lwgl and atiogl don't get along at all...the game uses it..therefore notch hates ati

They have no problem together for me... as I said, people should update their drivers if they are having issues.

edit: and you totally suck for missing/ignoring my post to pazaz earlier..ruin all my fun :sad.gif:

I read it... just didn't reply cuz it was true.

So is this just a mipmapping with the map or is it my graphics card? I have the latest drivers installed.

Yeah, that's normal.
It's because Notch dislikes Mipmapping and any sort of texture filtering whatsoever. :biggrin.gif:

it really is the game itself... the fuzziness you get is from the game not being able to render things smoothly in the distance.

Will a lower resolution map provide me a better result than the 256x256, in terms of how much are needed to be rendered to display good enough?

It has nothing to do with the map...
Get a lower resolution texture pack.

You can try to force AA and AF via CCC or NVIDIA Control Panel, but I doubt it would have as extreme of a difference.

WOAH, forcing everything to max in CCC makes the game look SO SMOOTH with 256x256....
BUT THEN THE AA CAUSES LINES TO BE BETWEEN EVERY BLOCK!!!


GAAWWWD SOOO UGLY
KILL IT
KILL IT WITH FIRE
