Details of the issue:

Honestly, what can I say about this game, or any of the modpacks that FTB has to offer, since a few years ago with FTB this never happened.

The issue I'm having is that around every ~15 seconds the game completely freezes up for a few seconds and sometimes even crashes, along with the abysmal loading times of both the games and my saves, even new saves. In fact this has been an issue with my game ever since the update after 1.4.7, which I believe was 1.5.2. When I played this game during 1.4.7 my pc specs and fps were significantly worse but still playable, since there was no freezing of any kind. And after making an attempt to play this game again on a better computer, my performance issues were the same since when I used to play the game.

According to my benchmarking software, there is no bottlenecking of any kind with my hardware specs, which are the following:

Geforce GTX 750 Ti - overclocked by a good bit
I5 4460 3.2Ghz
8GB of ram

I have allocated 3Gb to minecraft and use the following launch commands, which i find to give ~5 fps boost.

-Xmx3G -Xms3G -Xmn768m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseNUMA -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=15 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=30 -XX:GCPauseIntervalMillis=150 -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:+UseBiasedLocking -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=15 -Dfml.ignorePatchDiscrepancies=true -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods -XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+OptimizeStringConcat -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=1560m -XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=10000 -XXarallelGCThreads=10 -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:-UseAdaptiveSizePolicy

I have found that since around Version 1.4.7 my performance with ftb has been absolutely abysmal, which was what caused me to quit the game in the first place. My rig has actually been completely remade since I quit playing the game then and is now twice as good. I was on windows 7 at the time but now I'm on windows 8.

But upgrading my computer has improved performance for all the games i play except for minecraft. Vanilla Minecraft runs pretty smoothly for me, as would be expected, but it seems that using any amount of mods causes the freezing, which is more common with increasing numbers of mods

One thing that I forgot to mention is that I play single player only.

Things that I've tried:

Optifine - improved my fps but not the freezing
Fastcraft - didn't seem to do anything
Process Lasso - did increase my fps, but my fps isn't the issue
Closing out background programs
tweaking graphical options - improved my fps, but not the freezing
Downloading newest versions of 64 bit java
Specifying which java to use in the launcher
Texture Packs
Increasing and Decreasing allocated ram
Playing on a multiplayer server - Slightly improved my freezing but not much else
Deleting all of my launch options

I'm more than likely missing a few things here though since I'm writing this at 2am

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I haven't been able to properly play this game for two years.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.​

One thing that is worth mentioning that is in my logs is the line

Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running 19147ms behind, skipping 382 tick(s)

Not sure what this means but it appears several times in the log

Have you tried to setup a server (even if it is on the same machine) for your game yet? That will offload the server portion of your single player client to anther core on your CPU. But, I would probably remove all of those JVM options you have set as well. I've found with Java 8 that the memory management has improved significantly and I get the best performance just setting the amount of memory for Java.

BTW: If you can do it the best solution would be host the server portion on another PC.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try all of your recommendations then come back with my results, I have tried to run the server on my pc seperately before, but the performance was about twice as worse, but I've never tried setting it to a certain core.

Alright so I tried to host the server on my pc and set the cores that it's allowed to and the server lag and the freezing were still prominent, I tried to host on a different pc but unfortunately the freezing was only slightly better.

I tried to remove all of my launch options and my fps was lowered by about 10, with no improvement in the lag, but I decided to remove the second half of them and saw a decent improvement in the freezing, not sure what launch options could be harming my game, I'll continue to add and remove certain launch options. Thanks for the help, my game is at least somewhat playable now.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
