More lag than even I can take

doggypwn · 04-27-2011, 04:49,

I have been experiencing lag spikes of magnitude greater than the power of the second death star laser. Literally, so laggy I can't even go further than 30 meters outside the town I'm near. any suggestions here, my computer has a ton of memory and is usually fast, exception being minecraft and occasionally youtube.

Latency or fps lag?

Maybe it's a failed texture pack install. does it happen only after a login, does the menu work fine?

Have you used the MCPatcher recently, because that caused unbearable lag.. For me

I use nothing involving mods, I have a perfectly working texture pack, and I do wonder if it's latency, that's been a problem with starcraft lately for me.

I mean, what's your fps? Is it laggy when moving around and so on or is it just the normal latency lag (blocks reappearing, mobs moving choppy etc.)

My fps is around 10, and I'm still laggy as fuck. Any suggestions? My used memory stays around 20, and my allocated memory is at 50% these days. I'm somewhat near mavenholm, which likes to cause lag for people.

I'm getting chat lag, mobs don't even move, I'm stuck in one place normally. And I am really considering joining a different server if this lag doesn't stop.

10 fps is terrible. Have you always had that low fps?

The lag sounds very strange, I was on the server just a few minutes ago and there was no lag.

I normally have fps from 8 to 20. It's really odd. And sometimes I have really low fps and lag is nowhere to be found.

Doggypwn, what are the specs of your computer? I suspect that you are lacking a graphics card... That or you have bad Internet . If you haven't tried turning down the graphics and turning off smooth lighting that might also be a good idea. I believe running in full screen is easier than in a window. Also, don't run any extra proccesses in the back ground it will slow you down. Gamebooster is a great program for getting a few more FPS out of minecraft or any game. If you tell me more about your computer I might be able to give you more specific advice as I have wrestled with fps myself. The best solution is to use a better computer I finally saved up and bought a 2gen i7 laptop with Nvidia Optimus graphics and now I can run minecraft in fancy graphics and still get 60fps, even in Mavenholm.

Theres also Optimine and Optifog who are said to increase your fps a lot.
