I'll give that a try and report back tomorrow.
Issue still present in 1.7.2 I did get my FPS to jump up to 19 for like two seconds in game before it dropped back down to 0-3 FPS, though.
Wow, makes me feel better knowing that a much better computer is having issues. Horrible that the issue exists, but glad to know it's not just me and my dinosaur.
Seems to be pretty similar except mine is constant and never goes back to normal and happens wherever I am in the world. I really hope that some folks have some suggestions on how to maybe fix it ourselves other than the standard reply of "get a better computer"
I've tried everything I can think of, but I'm sure there's something I'm overlooking.
Grum, could you please clarify what you mean. I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to video cards and what FBO means. Just because this isn't happening to other people doesn't mean that the issue is invalid. This is an unacceptable resolution to this issue. I don't believe that my issue pertains to any kind of anti-aliasing by either the videocard or by the game, but this is where one of the mods moved my original report (which can be found here https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-35664). 13w39b worked as normal and every snapshot since then and the current pre-release of 1.7 has had this issue. Upgrading video card is not an option on this laptop.
FPS issue still present in the 1.7 prerelease. Attached new forced crash report.
Java version is the latest (just updated yesterday) Video card driver is the latest available.
Last playable version of the game (in my case at least) was 13w39b.
Please advise
Some progress made, I am now able to get consistently 4FPS instead of 0-3. Max I've been able to hit is 6. When paused, FPS goes up to my normal amount.
Confirming that this bug is still present in 13w43a
Looks like the driver signature is not updating even after an uninstall of all AMD related files (using their clean install tool) and reinstall of Catalyst 13.9. In device manager, the driver is listed as 8.970.100.1100 provided by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc with a date of 4-29-2013
Ah, something must have gone wrong when updating, then. Didn't notice it wasn't changed. Trying again.
Problem persists after updating to Catalyst 13.9 so here's the new debug crash report.
Thanks
Here's the forced crash using 13w42b
In my graphics card settings I have anti-aliasing set to be application managed. I've also tried 2x and 4x anti-ailasing and neither of those options make any difference either. I also have anisotropic filtering to be application managed as well. Haven't tried any of the other settings on that.
Thanks for the help so far. It's much appreciated. If it helps, I am using ATI Raedon HD 3200 Graphics.
My computer specs have not changed between the last version that did not have the FPS drop and the 4 latest snapshots where the FPS drop occurs. I have, however, updated Java and my video card drivers to the latest available versions. In the 4 latest snapshots, still have massive FPS drop to where the game is unplayable. If I go back to 13w39b, the FPS drop is not there.
Perhaps a setting in my video card software needs changed, but I don't know which one could be the culprit.
I also want to mention that I have minecraft set to use 3G of RAM, should I add the same parameters to JAVA itself?
edit: adding the parameters to JAVA did nothing to alleviate the issue either.
Confirmed as still present in 13w42b. This needs to be resolved.
Still not resolved in 13w42a. Game now unplayable.
Also want to add that I have not changed any settings between snapshot 13w39b and the three latest snapshots either.
Problem still persists in snapshot 13w42a
My FPS drop doesn't depend on the weather or what biome I am in at all. In 13w39b and before, my FPS generally runs anywhere from 20-25 (I am on a slower computer). When I switched to the latest snapshots (13w41a and 13w41b) my FPS drops to anywhere from 0-5. This drop in FPS is not related to any changes I make in the video or sound settings. For now I have switched back to snapshot 13w39b and my FPS is back to normal (for me).
Confirmed for 13w39b.
Small improvement today. Instead of 0 - 3 FPS, I am getting about a consistent 8. Still not where it should be, but that is progress, at least. Don't know what changed on my settings, but my son woke me up this morning to tell me that we were getting 8 FPS on 1.7.2
