....Why does framerate effect gameplay? Seriously, I make all my games run at low rates to I get minimum online lag. I run League of Legends (great free game, try it) at 15 FPS 9/10 times and it runs fine. On minecraft.......my render distance is always low and I have it on fast so I don't really know.
I've been running it with 40 fps with fast graphics and short view distance(and its been driving me crazy, I can't stand to have anything less than normal view distance >.<). Then again my old graphics card died on me, so I'm running it with the crap one that came with the computer.
I don't play minecraft since I'm mentally preparing myself for the time sink called 'The Witcehr 2'
Well, it always works fine for me on my sub-par laptop. Maybe that's the problem - your computer is too good?
My only complaint is lag in multiplayer, but that's another story.

My Minecraft works fine I get a pretty much constant 80fps on the highest settings even with the 256 by 256 texture packs on.
It runs on Java. There's your whole damn answer.BlacklightVirus said:
And anyways, I don't suffer intense fail with it, even online. It just renders a WHOLE LOT of chunks. The more you explore, the slower your game gets. This could be fixed, but it risks losing pieces of your work.

I like toast. I basically live on toast... just thought i'd share that with the group.
also, about minecraft, i've played the free version a few times but it just breaks on me. Should i get the proper one and if so, is there a way to buy it without having to pay on the internet? i don't trust internet purchases.
Does it really cause lag? I play a lot of games at a low FPS and they run without lag....or so they seem....maybe I'm too used to it.....CONSPIRACY!Tubez said:
Im pretty sure you are just used to it, before I upgraded my computer I used to be able to play games at 20-30fps without getting annoyed but now I'm used to pretty much never drop below 60 fps and if I do drop down to 40fps I notice it quite a lot.Judgement101 said:
Now i have to add commentary or the mods will write me up, apparently the video doesn't say enough... Dont agree, minecraft frame-rates always are rather high for me, I think its time to get your toaster checked out because it might not be toasting toast like a toaster toasts.'
Nope.avi
The graphics are simple but it's actually a pretty process-heavy game. While I'm sure it could be more efficient it's not fair to say it's the least efficient game you've played.
For a game that "doesn't have much going on" you have a randomly generated/generating environment consisting of millions of blocks with players, monsters, lighting and relatively complex flowing water interacting with everything. Not to mention it's a Java game.

Something to keep in mind, Minecraft's design is not something you can easily equate to another game. In most games, a mountain is simply shape bumped, mapped or structured out of the game level with a texture wrapped over it. A mountain is minecraft is a massive series of cubes. Sure they only have simply textures, but the engine has to keep track of all of them. That can actually be a lot more intensive than rendering a high poly count texture. However it's also what allows you to create a volcano doom fortress in a hollowed out mountain, so I'm perfectly alright taking in the limitations for the creative freedom.BlacklightVirus said:
