Minecraft Forums

I've been playing minecraft religiously since beta 1.5 with close to no hardware issues; I've always run my settings on fancy graphics, the max fps setting, smooth lighting, clouds, and full particles, etc. I've never really had any hiccups until now; SSP is almost un playable as of 1.3.2. I don't have issues in creative mode, and I've been playing hunger games SMP servers with no problem either.

In single player survival, however, I can't play for more than 15 to 20 minutes before my FPS drops so badly that it is like watching, as I saw on one forum, "the ******* child of a slideshow and a movie" play out as I fall into lava, or get blown up.

So this is either a minecraft issue (I am wary to call foul on the client, as my computer is getting up there in age, but it does show signs of a memory leak!) or I need to finally starve my wife, dog, and kid, and get a new computer.

Anyone have any input, or similar issue with 1.3.2? Upgrading to last week's snapshot did the same thing, and optifine did not help at all, any version. I did some research and found this thread: http://www.sargunste....php?f=8&t=5189

People there seem to having the same problem.

my specs:

2.0ghz intel core 2 duo
2gb ddr3 ram
nvidia geforce 9400 video card.

TL;DR

1.3.2 has serious lag spike issues in SSP that i never had before, have you noticed?

It's just a problem with the newest version on some computers. You could always try to mess around with the settings a bit, see if changing smooth lightning off, changing fancy into fast or changing openGL off does anything.

Eh, I tried all of that to no avail, at best turning smooth lighting off just kept the lag spikes at bay for an extra 10 minutes.

If you have noticed everyone here have problem with 1.3.x FPS i suggest use MCnostaliga and use 1.2.5 with optifine

The problem is, I started a new world with 1.3.2, and if I downgrade then I am liable to corrupt my world, and I luff it.

Check if your processor or video card is overheating.

I think this may be the problem. I have some external cooling **** for my processor, but I think it isn't working.

so i have settled that it may be my computer getting too hot, which is fine, i've had this problem before. some questions, however, are left unanswered: why 1.3.2? why not on SMP? why not on creative?
