So I haven't booted up Minecraft in many months. Decided to check out 1.8. But every new world I try to create just spawns me in a no-blocks void, falling forever. If I try to exit the game locks up and I have to kill the Java exe. While troubleshooting, I've tried several versions of Java (7.45, 7.51, 7.67, 8.20, etc), installing both 32 and 64bit. I've tried clearing Java cache and totally deleting the AppData .minecraft directory.
At some point messing around I was able to get the game to load a proper world and I could walk around for while, but eventually it started dropping FPS massively, like I'd get 30 FPS for a second, then down to sub 10FPS for a few seconds, bouncing back and forth. Decreasing chunk size would help a bit.But yeah, now I'm at the point I can't even create a world still.
Specs:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
CPU: i7-4770k @4.3Ghz
RAM: 16GB DDR3-1866
GPU: GTX 770 2GB
I'll get a dev console log once I get home from work.
EDIT: I just remembered that I did limit Java's cache size to like 2.2GB, so maybe that could be causing this. Will test later.
