First off: I run Win7. 64-bit.
Hey, so! I've never been able to run Minecraft, no matter what I've done. Or rather, I can run it, but it's always always always been jerky as hell to the point of not being worth playing.
I decided to try again and had two very knowledgeable friends walk me through optimizing and speeding it up - nothing worked. I even ran my computer through every scan they could think of and - while it did remove a few things - it didn't help my fps in game at all.
No matter what I do, it hovers between 1fps - 3fps, and almost never goes any higher while in game. So strange, since I can watch movies just fine and nothing else on my computer seems funky.
SPECS: I have an MSI A6200, defunct now on their website, and I know my video driver hasn't been updated in a year - we attempted to update it with a generic, should-work-for-every-one driver, but it said the comp didn't meet the minimum requirements, which is beyond weird.
I'll just post my DirectX Dialogue:
So yea. . . I have turned off everything inside Minecraft that I could that would optimize speed - turned all nonessential settings off or to fast, draw distance at tiny, performance up all the way, graphics to fast. . .etc. No clouds, no fog (I have OptiFine installed). Literally everything we could think of that normally helps.
Not a single thing has helped, but they assure me that my computer should be able to run Minecraft. So I come to you, dear forumites. Help? I'll probably check every couple'a half hours if you have any questions - I'll try and answer. I'm not super tech savvy though, as a warning.
