Details of the issue After playing for a few minutes, the game starts freezing every 7 seconds. FPS drops from 60 to 0 for about a second, then repeats every 7 seconds. The pie chart on the F3 screen shows that when it freezes, the sound takes about 80% of the chart.

Adding/removing Optifine doesn't do anything.

I think I found a possible solution. Go to control panel-hardware and sound-sound, then double click on your default speakers. Click the tab that says enhancements and tick the box that says disable all sound effects.


After I did that the freezing has stopped completely, for now.

That is so strange.

How did you come to that conclusion?

And what version of windows 10 are you on?
1709 (and/or insiders version)?

 

[bobrob]

I'm using Windows 10 Home version 1709.

Since the issue is sound according to the log (Something's taking too long! 'root.sound' took aprox 895.115519 ms), I've been trying different things sound-related. If I turn off all the sounds, it fixes the issue, but I really don't want to play without sound. What I did in the control panel doesn't seem to completely fix it like I thought. The longer I play, the worse it gets, so it just delayed it. Although, I'm not getting freezes anymore, more like stutters. The FPS doesn't go all the way down to 0 anymore.

Can you try without optifine and any added resourcepacks.

Optifine isn't supported and is known to cause issues with other mods / modpacks

Post new log if it still fails.

Here's my latest log file. http://paste.feed-the-beast.com/view/0fdf4a4f

I don't use resource packs. I don't even know how to get them.

Pretty sure the issue was with Avast anti-virus. This was the last thing I thought it would be because, A) I've never had an issue with it before and B) I have no idea what this has to do with the sound. Eh, whatever, it's running smoothly. For now.

Yes, Antivirus software can cause issues (if not right configured - some just cause issues regardless).

To be clear - you removed Avast (or configured) and now it works?

 

[bobrob]

Yes, I uninstalled Avast and now it works.

Nice, happy for you that you found the issue and solved it!
