I have been having this FPS problem since I upgraded from 1.3.2. When in game the FPS starts out and stays at 30-40 FPS but will just drop about 2 min into the game at stay at about 10-15 FPS with frequent drops to 0-3 FPS but as soon as I change the render distance (doesn't matter if I'm increasing it or decreasing it) the FPS will jump back up to 30-40 for about 30 sec, then drop back down to 10-15. I've tried modding it by installing optifine (didn't do a thing) then tried changing the texture pack (I was told that it could help, which it didn't) and now I have no clue what to do.
I updated to the new the 1.4.4 and so far I'm not experiencing any lag except for the occasional fps drop which I'm fine with but I can't seem to get forge to load the new optifine which is supposed to be updated for 1.4.4 but I think that I just have to install it myself like I have to do with too many items
