I recently installed a new version of Windows 7 after my previous operating system was infected by a virus. After reinstalling and updating my drivers, I've been experiencing major latency in minecraft multiplayer. While I have pretty good internet, I have UNUSUALLY high lag in every server I enter (so the problem is not server side). My ping on every single server seems to be significantly larger than the ping I get normally get playing any other game. After being connected to any server, my minecraft will eventually time out and I will be disconnected. I've been playing minecraft for well over 6 years and I've never had this problem. Any advice or suggestions?
I've tried allocating more ram to mc and updated my drivers.
Also, you can actually allocate TOO much ram and LOWER performance. You should look at using the default resource pack at first as part of bug-testing, and as @DaEpicEnder said, if you are having problems, making sure your chunk display is set at 10 or lower *first* and going from there.
The issue doesn't seem to be my internet connection. I played minecraft on a separate computer in my house and I had no ping lag at all. I only seem to lag (ping-wise) on my own computer. Please help
What I've tried:
Reduce render distance (and settings in general)
Allocate more ram to minecraft
Reinstall minecraft
Change minecraft resource pack
Confirm that minecraft version matches version of the server
I'm following the thread with interest, but this is totally *not* my area of expertise. It sounds as if you ran the server on a separate computer within your home, and your connection works fine. http://minecraft-mp.com/search/ will allow you to search by location, but if you are in the United States or other country with a large area, that list isn't going to be useful. I would likely beg a friend who I trust, who trusts me, and is competent to run a Spigot server through their firewall for testing, IP locked to my external IP, then see how things go.
You are certain your Windows7 isn't simply re-infected? Beyond looking to those things, I'm out of ideas.
Thanks for your help. I doubt my computer is re-infected given that everything BUT minecraft runs/works perfectly. I submitted a ticket to Mojang support, so we'll see what they say.
