Minecraft 1.2 BETA update.

marc1024 · 14 Jan 2011 at 10:15

Cant seem to find a thread on this specific issue. People on the minecraft forums think its my pc but since the 1.2 update ( latest update ) iv been getting mega lag. According to fraps i get 300-400 fps, then every few moments there will be a drop to 5-10 fps then it will go back up. The previous version of the beta was fine!
Anyone else getting this problem? im running NO mods and NO texture packs.
Im on a core i5 750 @ 3.8ghz, 4gb ram and a 460gtx. I really dont think its my pc thats the problem. Iv tried redownloading minecraft but no success.

UPDATE - there was an update released 5 minutes ago that fixes the performance bug RESTART YOUR MINECRAFT! should be v1.2.0.1 now! 13:35 14th January 2011

I think its a known issue with the latest update, I started a new world last night and had similar problem to you, but only when it was generating new land.

When I stopped wandering about to build something, it seemed fine again...

at least someone has a similar problem. Iv been playing on same world since i started the thread, iv barely explored much and im still getting the lag.

I read in the update they added a FPS fix made by someone, i read more into and he recommends deleting the meta-inf folder. So i opened up minecraft.jar and deleted it. Seems to be better but when i generate a new map i crash. i can only load old maps ;(

weird. have you tried deleting the whole .minecraft folder (back up your world saves first!) redownload client and start again from scratch?

That sucks. I'm looking forward to playing it tonight and I hope it doesn't have issues. The new content looks fun!

its amazingly smooth on mine now, have they released an update?

Same here marc1024. After generating a new world last night it was amazingly jumpy for the first 10 minutes or so. It seemed to disappear after that though. So far it seems fine. My only problem being my 128x128 world skin doesn't seem to work any more
