I used to play mine craft all the time, with absolutely zero problems concerning lag. Then, I stopped playing the game for a few months. Now, I've come back, but literally every server I try and get onto, even one where I was an admin (with zero lag issues) I get that worst lag. I'm talking, I can't move lag. It doesn't matter what server I try and join, either... they all give me lag. It isn't an issue with my internet connection, because I can play other games with zero lag, so does anyone have an ideas or clues as to why I'm getting such horrid lag on minecraft, and what I might be able to do to fix this problem?
Nothing is any different now that it was a few months ago when I used to play. I could be on Xbox Live and minecraft with no issues. Literally all the servers I try and join now have no more than 2 bars of green in their connection display.
the problem is that a few months ago there was the 1.8 update to minecraft. this drastically reduced fps on my computer as well because there is a new world generation code. bigger biomes, more things in the biomes, spawning of strongholds, spawning of ravines, more elaborate caves, etc. these things all affected fps from 1.7.3 i know people who had well over 200 fps during beta 1.7 then only about 100 fps when the 1.8 update came along.
Ridiculous LAG is ridiculous!!!
