Issues Loading

[Beccy Davies]

Hi, i have a friend who's desperate to come and play with the amazing FTB modpacks, sadly the only machine she has access too is one of these I realize its a fairly old machine, but she used to use it to raid with us in WoW, so i'm assuming it should be able to handle MC modded.

I'm not saying it will be a fps dream, but it should at least be able to load without like 1-3fps right? or at least i hope. to the best of my knowledge she has the very latest java version installed.

any advice would be welcome, is there some issue that could cause insanely bad fps? or is it just the machine?.

thanks in advance.

Has she tried running vanilla minecraft? You really need at the bare minimum 25fps for smooth gameplay. If she can run vanilla minecraft then give it a try but if she can't then it will definately not run FTB because it requires significantly more power to run smoothly.

Thanks for your reply UniZero, I was a little afraid nobody would have any suggestions. She can run Vanilla on her machine, and it plays at 35-40fps with medium draw distance and fancy graphic settings. (I'm unsure about soft lighting settings and she's not around to ask atm). So i know its not utter-rubbish at running vanilla is my point.
