    The Update to 1.8

    I I hate schadenfreude. But forgive me this one time, while I post this snarky message :( Yes. My whole gripe is that whatever it is that they are doing, doesn't seem to be working for me (and others?) in terms of any performance gain, while the earlier option did help me out (me as well as...

    The Update to 1.8

    Hastily worded. There's OpenGL support, otherwise it won't run on *NIX platforms. They've actually dropped advanced openGL support due to a combination of reasons. You'll find some discussion here on the forums on it as well. But, here's a link on reddit discussing it. While a lot of them on...

    The Update to 1.8

    ^^ As an engineer, I definitely appreciate all the hard work that goes into it, but seriously, this is all been done before by other games? IIRC, when Quake was getting built, Carmack roped in Abrash to help optimise the game back then. (Basically, if you're getting overwhelmed, there is no...

    The Update to 1.8

    Overall, people have (rightly) appreciated the incremental and individual (piece-meal?) improvements of 1.8 over the previous releases. Sure, I don't want to come across as an ungrateful so-and-so, but my gripe has always been that the overall "game experience" has deteriorated as a whole over...

    The Update to 1.8

    ^^ An average of 60fps for vanilla MC on an overclocked celeron? By this logic, a default i3 processor should offer decent/equivalent performance before OC. But it does not. Minecraft performance monitoring is getting so bizarre, it's not even making sense any more. As an aside, how are you...

    The Update to 1.8

    ^^ This sums up my reality/my practical situation. :)

    The Update to 1.8

    Let's trade machines then :). Seriously though, good for you. All my MC specs are sparse to normal... I go anywhere from 40 to 6 fps... 6 fps is default while I'm outdoors... Throw a creeper chasing you outdoors, and kamikaze's in fashion this autumn in my minecraftia ;) jeb and dinner and...

    The Update to 1.8

    Played with it for the last few hours... Wildly fluctuating performance. "Aw, phoo"! Colour me unimpressed for now!

    Identifying the source of "Can't keep up" error

    [sighs loud enough for people around him to be startled] Agreed, and the present track record is not exactly making me optimistic for 1.8 either.

    In-Game Docs: Guides vs Wikis

    ^^ Nicely worded. I know what you mean! I started my PC basics with "man" and "apropos"... So I actually like reading walls of text to figure out stuff. With this game, I had to revise my strategy to look at "most recent" youtube spotlights as "reliable documentation". :( (P.S: ftbwiki and...

    Identifying the source of "Can't keep up" error

    FWIW, I've been facing this same issue for the past few days myself. :( Then I was having crashes around mariculture mod (resolved now - mantle library was one version behind!) and I have gone past crashes, back to a working, albeit seriously laggy game! My suspicion was that it was mariculture...

    For those who are interested: ;) ExtraBiomes XL is finally dragging itself closer to a 1.7.10 release (a while ago). Here's the link to blog post: Shout out to @asiekierka for the heavy lifting towards the end! \O/

    Random chat with Qazplm601 (and other people. but mostly qaz.)

    Shouldn't you also add cue the "mystcraft teleport sound clip"? ;)

    [1.8][1.7.10] Utility Worlds 1.0.5 - Player-created mining and void dimensions

    Trying to recreate what you already know is one sure way to learn. And it must be encouraged in my view. Good luck with your learning.

    [1.8][1.7.10] Utility Worlds 1.0.5 - Player-created mining and void dimensions

    I don't know why you get the impression that I found it as a problem. I am simply making him aware. If you kept reading the rest of the discussion, it will be clear.

    [1.6.4] HappyDiggers AMP - Updated - Now with 98% more Awesome!

    I honestly would wait it out a bit. In addition to gendustry, denoflions is working on a standalone openbees mod (WIP) IC2 for 1.7.10 is buggy! Therefore, GT is not on 1.7.10 yet. It's going to be a while. And I would rather wait for this one to go 1.7.10 before releasing the pack to public...
