Putting in a texture pack slows the game

[Raider Rick]

When I put Sphax Pure BCCraft 128 in, My movement slows so much that in is unplayable. So I keep the texture pack off.
Am I the only one having this problem?
I am using a Mac with 8 Ram running.
I am playing Direwolf and ultimate modpack

Try using a 64x or even 32x texturepack and see if that works. Yet, a 128x is quite the resourcehungry fiend - add that to the already 'bloated' MC of FTB and yes, TPs do indeed cause lag if your system is not powerful enough. Also, how much of those 8gb do you have in use / allocated to MC?

Get a new comp, if it can't even run MC with a lowly texture pack its useless.

Yeah try alocate more memory to MC to see if that helps otherwise your CPU or GFX card may not be strong enough to handle that texture pack.

This is bull. 128 is not "lowly", definitely not when concerning MCs memory usage. Or do you look down on every tp not in 512 pixels?

Thanks for the info.
I am using the 64, but it does not change the look of the blocks, bricks.
Any suggestions

Sounds as if the TP is not installed correctly - or the .zip could be a corrupted download. Where/How did you install it?

Not texture packs, just Macintosh users trying to play games...

*shakes head* Okay, once upon a time on the internet, that whole PC versus Mac stuff probably was funny. Newsflash: It is no more. I'm not gonna bother and reply seriously. *pats his MBP* Shsh.. he does not know what he's talking about. ²

Well actually I do know what I'm talking about, but that's a whole other story

P.S. It wasn't meant to be funny, but it is fact that Macintosh is not a hardware base that is designed for gaming. It is specifically designed to work with a specific OS and hardware and it works well in that regard. Unfortunately that hardware is not designed for rendering games, it is designed for graphics design, audio/video editing, ease of use and longevity. The most expensive Mac with Windows running in an emulator is still worse that the cheapest gaming PC when it comes to playing a game.
