Okay, So I am helping out my friend. He is not too comfortable with computers, so i usually help him out with things like this. He and I have been playing minecraft for a while. We used to play vanilla and modded all the time perfectly fine.
We took a long break from minecraft, waiting on forge to update to 1.7.
We finally came back to 1.7.10, and my friend was able to play minecraft for about 5 minutes before everything locked up.
I usually dont have a problem sorting things out for him, but I have never seen this before.
He tells me that he is unable to move around. however he can look around, not very well, but he can look around. A slight movement in the mouse and the game will launch the camera in a direction. He also claims there is a crazy amount of lag and he tries to type and the chat bar will pop up a minute or two later.
I checked all his controls, checked his keyboard the WASD work fine just not to move around.
I updated his java to the newest ones as of today.
updated drivers.
Tried allocating more memory in the java arguments in launcher.
I am really not sure what it could be. Honestly, My only suspicion is windows 8. Maybe its something we have to do for windows 8 to run minecraft, I am really not sure seeing as I am Windows 7.
Thank you for any help you guys may offer! and if you need anything please ask.
