So, I've been having an issue lately with Minecraft.
I'll be playing just fine in game for about...10-15 minutes, but then my game will start horribly lagging...like...0-1 FPS lagging. And it won't stop unless I restart my minecraft....
Only to have it happen again later.
Other than on these moments, my minecraft runs smoothly, I can run through the busiest spawn areas with no lag at all. It's just that after awhile, it will start lagging, and sometimes just stop responding altogether.
This lag happens regardless of what texture pack I'm using.
When I press f3, it never says I'm getting even close to my memory usage.
I'm having the exact same problem! I've forced updated my minecraft, installed optifine, uninstalled optifine, updated java, checked all of my system specs and update statuses, increased the memory, and every other solution I've seen on the internet. Nothing works. I'm at a total loss what to do.
Likely a problem with 32-bit Java. If you have a 64-bit computer, make sure the only version of Java you have installed is 64-bit.
If you have a 32-bit computer, go into the Launcher, then click on Edit Profile. Set the JVM Arguments to:
-Xms256M -Xmx384M
For 32-bit, it can only delay the lag.
How exactly do I check if I ONLY have 64 bit installed?
Basically I just installed the latest version of Java, and assumed it would be the right one for my computer.
Firstly, find out if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Hold the Windows Key and press the Break key both at the same time.
It should take you to a window similar to this:
If the boxed text says 32-bit Operating System, then:
Go into the Launcher, then click on Edit Profile, then change the text in the JVM Arguments field to (exactly):
-Xms256M -Xmx384M
Save the changes, then try Minecraft again. It should take longer to lag.
If the boxed text says 64-bit Operating System, then:
Type 'Add or Remove Programs' (without the quotes) into the Start Menu and open Add or Remove Programs.
Press the 'J' key to skip to all programs named J.
If the only Java installation you see is just called Java, then:
Click on Java and click on Uninstall. Go through the uninstallation process, reboot your computer then in your web browser go to: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
And download/install Windows Offline (64-bit). Restart and try Minecraft again.
If you see both Java and 64-bit Java, then:
Click on Java (NOT 64-BIT JAVA) and click on Uninstall. Go through the uninstallation process, reboot and try Minecraft again.
If you see only 64-bit Java installed, then good job; you've stumped me.
Hope this solves your problem.
Well, I now have 64 bit java (before it didn't specify if it s 32, or 64
We'll see what happens the next time I play minecraft for an extended time. Regardless of the result, thanks a lot for your help.
