My Minecraft lags really bad and i get about 7-17 fps. I have tried everything, Optifine, Allocating more ram to both java and minecraft, Game booster, texture packs, setting java priority to high.can some one please help me reduce lag thanks.

Try different Optifine versions. That's all i can say.

i have the version with every version in it

Well is it maybe your computer specs or something related to a new update? You kinda have to say a bit more before people can help you out.

my computer is a dell dimesion DM061 and these are my system specs

I highlighted your problems in bold. Also, you don't have a dedicated GPU which worsens the problem.

Your RAM is also probably DDR or DDR2 because it's such an old machine, which doesn't help either.


The only way to play Minecraft is to get a better PC.

i will have to play lagy minecraft then

You could sacrifice optifine for a better experience
http://www.minecraft...aysnbxlite-ssp/
There's 3 mods on that page, you want SSP, it changes the Server Sided Single-Player into Client-Sided
Edit: SSP is not compatible with optifine

thanks but i want to play SMP

Man, I feel you. For about 2 years I always wanted MC, but my computer was really bad and I couldn't. I think it's got to do with the Java Runtime. Maybe try a fresh install of Java, and if you're really willing to, a new install of Windows/Mac/Linux.

But seriously. Your machine is starting to show its age, and sooner or later you'll probably end up getting a new rig. As someone else said, not having a GPU really worsens the problem.

I hope you work out your problem dude!

thanks, but i don't have the money to just go out there and buy a new computerAnd my computer used to run minecraft fine in 1.2.5 and the earlier versions!

Also I don't lag if I'm in a desert because there isn't as many blocks, but as soon as I get near a building or lots of mountains and trees it lags like hell

Does doing a new install of windows delete everything?

I been thinking and I'm going to by a laptop. Will this run minecraft and also could it run other games like skyrim, cod etc. I don't expect I at skyrim on high graphics either.

Processer: amd quad core a6-3420m
graphics: radeon hd 6520g
Ram:4-8 ram upgradable
Hard drive: 500gb

Should run it easily. And yes, a new install would delete everything.

Thanks
