Render distance changed to 128, along with massive lag and RAM usage

Game framerate dropped significantly with RAM usage steadily increasing even while remaining stationary. Occurred in the overworld, most often by castle (see picture)  despite not having any redstone processes active or large mob counts on the surface (underground counts were unknown). Game seemed to perform well while in the Nether.

Potential culprit: Render distance slider in video settings was in the lowest position but was set to 128 chunk render distance. Manipulating the slider bumped the number back into the normal range and the memory usage dropped down to 4.9 GB  for a 48 chunk render distance. Restarting the game now has it running at 2.6 GB Memory for 48 Chunk render distance.

Issue was first observed after updating to 27 May 20 NVidia Driver. Have been unable to replicate.

I had something similar happen when I started changing the render distance and particle effect distance sliders together. I dropped from 60fps to 20, and CPU usage was from 5% to 60%.

One thing that I noticed that was interesting is when I used a brewing stand, you get the animated 'bubbles' that fill in to show the progress of the brewing, and those were really flickery, as if it was being updated multiple times to slightly different values. Like instead of it gradually filling in, it was filling in then flashing slightly lower, then higher, then lower... My hunch is that changing the settings was kicking off multiple rendering loops or something, so things were being updated multiple times... hard to explain. I only had it happen once, and I have to change render distance every time I load the world due to MCPE-80205 so I thought it might have been due to changing both the render distance and the particle distance together.

Reopening and updating the summary as this seems to be a different issue from MCPE-74696.

Both this report and MCPE-96927 state that this issue occurred after updating video card drivers. All 3 reports state that they have not been able to reproduce the issue. It could be due to a video card driver bug, but it does not make sense that it would reset Minecraft's render distance.

For those affected, could you provide more detail about your video card and driver versions?

This just happened to me, exactly as the poster of duplicate MCPE-91810 described . I have a 3080 video card and I was like, "What is this lag??" The second I turned it down to 96, it was fixed for me. I also noticed I was in full screen and I don't think I did that (unless it's something you can hit by accident).

I did not edit any files. I'm trying to do all the achievements on pure vanilla Windows 10 bedrock.

Confirmed to be caused by a graphics driver change. Even uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, or installing the same driver over the existing driver, causes this to happen.

I don't know if this is graphics card specific, but there is a possibility that it only affects certain graphics cards.

GoldenHelmet

I did not experience this issue after updating the drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce 750 Ti both yesterday and again today. It must be specific to certain graphics cards or driver versions.

Jonathan5733

Like I said, it's possibly graphics card dependent, I tested using two computers, one with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 and one with an AMD Radeon 6290 GPU (from 2011). Only the NVIDIA GPU had the issue, while the AMD one did not. Both done with drivers from the NVIDIA and AMD websites respectively, not from the OEM (although that might make a difference)
