I used to get a decent 24-30 fps when playing minecraft

for some reason when I moved(making me have to turn off my computer which I try to do as little of as possible) I started minecraft and barley barley got 8 fps, the game barley plays even on tiny render distance(not much different than normal which is about 7 fps) that's right, turning render distance to tiny does it no justice

anyways it started to slowly play better after a while for no apparent reason

but then java updated and mcafee antivirus was about to install and I had to put a stop to that, I think I attempted to cancel but it updated as usual, then I heard etho say his framerate had dropped on the newest snapshot and I checked and mine did too because of the snapshot, but now I only get 7 fps constantly

I did reinstall java and it gives me 14 fps when I'm in caves for whatever reason but when I go back to the npc village in my world it goes back down to 7

of course I tried deleting my entire minecraft folder and going back to minecraft 1.4.7 and still nothing was any better
now the sound is weird too, if you're behind a sound it will barley play or if you're a couple blocks away it will sound like you're almost too far away to hear it, sounds randomly cut off and some sounds play at full sound

what could be causing this patheticness?
before I used to play on normal render distance at about 24 fps which is still pretty pathetic but barley playable but now it isn't playable and there's no reason explaining it, could anyone help?

Please could you post your full specs?
It's probably that Minecraft was running off of something different from what it's running on now.

thanks for the offer of assistance



Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+
RAM: 1918 MB
System type: 32-bit operating system

there's the basic specs, if there's any more information you need then you can just explain what you need and I can find itas of now I'm getting about a max of 19fps and it is somewhat stable but then becomes very unstable if I try to do anything such as approach a village or attempt to fight mobs the game goes down to almost no fps

I just don't understand how it's so bad now

I would guess that when you rebooted your computer a lot of changes were made and possibly a virus was installed or something got installed that is a resource hog. Check task manager while playing minecraft and see if anything else is running in the background that is taking up resources

I check task manager weekly to see something or other, absolutely nothing is out of place

actually minecraft usually took up 850000k and it ran okay, and now it seems to run at 650000k

I'm thinking maybe if I reinstall the actual launcher it might do something but now that I think of it that probably won't do anything please continue with support thanks.

another thing I should add is sounds barley play, they're extremely broken and either play really low or extremely faint or not at all, though occasionally something like grass breaking plays at full volume

also, if I switch to short render distance the fps goes up to 44, then evens back down to 14 just like on normal render distance, so say I turn it to tiny render distance, it does it no justice.
