Never really got into mind craft completely new. I'm wanting to try the game out and I heard that Direwolf20 was a good mod for noobs. My cousin said my computer wouldn't be able to handle it so he tried getting me a different mod pack. He got me all light mods, which took 3 hours just load it up and once that was finished I couldn't even lower the settings because it was slowing my computer down so badly. Anyways my question is can my computer handle direwolf20 and if not could somebody recommend me to a mod pack my computer might be able to handle. Here's the specs of my computer, Intel(r) celeror(r) cpu n3150 @ 1.60 ghz installed memory (ram) 4.0 gb . 64 bit operating system x64 based processor. Some help would be really nice. Just had a newborn daughter and I'm trying to find a game I can play on my off time.
Grats on the baby girl!
You know what they say about having a daughter? If you had a boy, you only have to worry about one little prick...
Aherm... *cough*
Okay... To your question.
Yeah, you don't have enough ram. Most 1.10 packs need a minimum of 4gigs to run, thus leaving nothing for your operating system, or any other programs to do anything while playing.
Suggestion:
You could try some of the older packs. 1.6.4 was considered a golden age in modded, 1.7.4 was really well fleshed out as well, and the packs can still be found/played. FTB and Direwolf20 had packs for those versions.
You don't have to go "bleeding edge" and play the 1.10 packs yet, as some of them are still a work in progress (*cough*infinity*cough*) and are missing some much loved (or hated) mods like Thaumcraft.
Enjoy!
