Minecraft Forums

At first I thought it was a server issue. My brother said he was having router issues. But he resolved them and it was still broken for me.

Today I tried starting up a 1.8 single player game, and the same thing happened. there's a 1 second skip that acts like lag about every 3 seconds.

Help?

is your computer 64 bit?

Yes it is.

I think I know the fix, press F3 and look at the top right of your screen and check how much memory your using, I had the same problem untill I allocated more memory to minecraft. This is how to:

Open the minecraft launcher, Click Edit profile, check JVM Arguments and type -Xmx500M -Xms500M, start it up. This should work if not try updating you drives, and in the worst case, get a new CPU or Graphics Card. If you using a laptop get a new one. What allocating more memory does, well it basically gives minecraft more room to run, so if you put it as 100M, it would run really bad, it has no room to work with, putting it at 4G or 2G will crash the game but having it at about 500-1000M is a good number.

My system was fixed when i uninstalled all versions of java 32 bit and installed ONLY 64bit java, even though the site whines that internet explorer wants 32bit. Pretty easy to try on your system too

I removed Java, and reinstalled it with *only* the 64 bit. No change.

I then allocated 2048 for the RAM. That did not resolve either.

Version 1.7.5 still works like a champ tho'.

How does one report this issue to the Devs and not just the forums? Is there a bug report page somewhere?

Sheesh, tweeting to the minecraft support account just gets you blown off.



I'm bummed out, my friends are starting a server and I want to join them, but 1.8 is still broken and there's no way to get support. Very disappoint.

Try playing with the video options. Just because a set of options worked well for you before doesn't mean that they will still work well now.

The render distance is actually be used in 1.8 whereas in 1.7 it was ignored if it was larger than some number.

Vsync On causes big problems for me in 1.8 whereas it didn't before, etc.

Two things fixed this for me:

1. I upgraded to the new version 8 Java.

2. I disabled Vsync

(disabling Vsync did not work prior to upgrading Java)

Interesting. because I'm using the final version of Java 6..
