Intriguing FPS Discovery

[OlexaKid64]

I just disabled every mod in the modpack for FTB Unleashed except for core mods and Forge. My FPS is the same as if I were to have 60 other mods enabled. Ideas? I'm gonna test coremods and seeing if they're making my game performance drop.. Leave a comment if you have any idea about this. Is it the launcher? Will that be fixed with the 1.6 launcher? Hmmm..

EDIT: Did more testing, FPS is 25-30 with every mod installed as well as 25-30 with just Core Mods installed. There's no way this is normal...

Sounds more like an issue with your PC.

Wow that got really messed up XD

How much ram do you have allocated to the launcher?

Not really a discovery. Mods don't lower FPS at all and neither do texturepacks if you have enough VRAM. What drops FPS is a lot of chunk updates, entities, tile entities, etc.

If you make a 30x30x30 cube of furnaces and put coal in them all at the same time, your FPS would vanish. Vanilla can be laggy, it just takes a bit more carelessness than modded MC.

I understand that chunk updates, entities, and tile entities lower FPS but then in a freshly loaded world, wouldn't my FPS be the same as Vanilla? Your statement doesn't make much sense.[DOUBLEPOST=1382578430][/DOUBLEPOST]

2.75 GB. If I go higher or lower, it's lower FPS. I can play with 30 FPS. I just find it irritating that I have a really nice laptop that should be able to run this higher based on my Vanilla FPS and yet FTB doesn't let me.

Keep in mind that many mods add world gen. This results in increased processing time for generating new chunks, as well as increased time loading existing chunks, and increased frame rendering time because of all the tile entities mod authors love to use for their new blocks.

As much as I understand this, why would disabling all mods have the same FPS as when all mods are loaded? It seems like a launcher issue.

Have you done this:

Or this:

http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/jvm-arguments-for-modded-minecraft-updated-9-22-13.28994/


Also you shouldn't allocate more than 1-1.5 or 2 GB at most to the launcher.

Okay well the JVM arguments just bombed by FPS down to like a 5. So I'll fool around with those then get back to you.

Don't do all of them at once lol.

I would suggest only doing PermGen and MaxPermGen first and seeing how those go. Set both to 128 first to test it out.

Thank you very much. I'll try that out. I put all of them in at once XDXD

Sorting out your FPS in minecraft is a game in itself, with no single solution. For me, I have had to decrease memory allocated to java (compared to 1.2.5/1.4.7) and also not use PermGen settings. There was also some other setting (I forget which, sorry), that when I removed, actually helped improve FPS (using a custom modpack now with MultiMC). I think it's one of the settings that the FTB launcher enables by default.
