I gave it my best shot. Don't know what's the magic dagger in this but something is causing lag that has just become intolerable.
For example, there's a ftb pack that has millenaire in it. that caused some stuttering for me, but compared to this, it was a tiny blip. AG skies with 200+ crucibles pumping lava out to fuel some magmatic engines. same. monster with a huge factory pumping out ores/ingots, doubling/tripling, moving slag around with item conduits and such. nothing. no lag. I can't think of a non MC game that I've played (and I'm an avid gamer and have a huge library) that has caused me any grief cept GTA IV unoptimized at release (unplayable). Patched it was fine.
but something here is causing just a hair pulling lag that has me wondering really. I tried loading another pack (capacity of the void) and the # of mods in it is huge. Loading MC took around 15 minutes. Created a new world and ctd. went back in, waited 20 mins, never finished loading. tried again, nothing. Then I tried this modpack :} I know it's specific to my machine, so this is not me blaming anyone (but me). It's just too annoying to continue. I'll wait till the 1.72 is released and give it another go then.
I got to middle earth, went east admiring the bunnies and drunk hobbits and got to the forest. right before got an achievement about something like "not nice trees" but I didn't do anything. looked at achievements, scrolling around window (no tolkien category, was in minecraft one) and boom, ctd (out of bounds in achievement screen). go back, mapwriter didn't save anything (just realized I could have hit R) and my map marker for the portal back isn't there. decided to kill myself and found my way back home.
In middle earth, lag was minimal. overworld is bad. I went to nether just now to get quartz. lag was constant. I'm fairly certain it's infernal mobs or something dealing with mob AI. I ran opi's and I'm just not expert enough to understand what I'm seeing. I look at entities, etc... and nothing seems out of place. I had used it previously when AM2 had that issue with the hecates spawning out of control, so I sortof know what to look for. I don't see what it could be. Again, it could be the settings I applied for BNB (which runs perfectly fine btw, just jumped into my world and was swarmed by about 20+ misc mobs and ran back to my house). I've been attacked by 30-50 of the invaders creating human ladders trying to get into my house in the sky, had meteors absolutely cover the landscape for MC miles and cleaned it up. I blame sauron. yeah, that's the ticket.
I liked what I could see and was attacked by a tree, when your next versions out, I'll make like a bee.... heh
I'll give it a shot in 1.72. See you then. thanks for the replies.
