Minecraft running at +600 FPS, but small freezes every 5 sec

[Tehterokkar]

Hey!

Ever since I got my new computer for Christmas, Minecraft has been the only game that I have lag in, Battlefield 3 runs on All Ultra 1920x1080[50 FPS]. WoW runs on All Ultra 1920x1080[120 FPS]. But then Minecraft, The lowest requiring game, lags.

The game runs fine, other than small freezes that happen every 3-10 seconds and they freeze the game for 1-3 seconds and then returns

I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and I have downloaded 64bit Java, but no help, I tried setting Javaw.exe to High priority but no help.

Specs:

Intel i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz
Asus GTX 580 DirectCU II
8gb(2x 4GB) Kingston 1333Mhz RAM
64 GB SSD boot drive for Win7
1.0 TB HDD for all other crap

Help?

Turn off the sounds. From what I hear their is a bug with the sound files not working correctly on all systems. If this doesn't work try re-creating a new world and disabling sounds. Doing this has fixed about 80% of all the peoples problems with minecraft freezing every 5 - 10 seconds for a varying amount of time. The other possibility is that you have the Auto-Save feature enabled and is causing the issue due to the size of your world and the amount of data it's writing to your harddrive.

From that URL.

- Defrag Harddrive
- Set Javaw.exe to high priority and one CPU in Task Bar
- Tried performance improving mods: Optimine, Optifog
- Tried performance improving programs: Gamebooster
- Format harddrive and reinstall OS and Minecraft
- Updated all drivers for any possible hardware, including the Joystick, though you don't use it for Minecraft
- Allocated more memory to Java like this
- Searched anything on this Website to get help
- Tried the game in offline mode, browser based and with the minecraft.exe
- Defraged your RAM
- Turned of all unnecessary background programms
- Turned the graphics to low as possible
- Specially experience this after 1.5.1

snip!

Alright.. How do I Config the Auto-save feature? To like every 3 minutes?

Edit: Here is a picture of the lag spike click you can see the spike, they happen every 2-5 seconds :/

you can install optifine, it has an option to change it

[Chaochamp]

Yeah it's the autosave that's built in. I'm not sure if there's any way to manually configure it, but OptiFine will help you with that, and a whole bunch of other things.

You should force vsync trough nvidia control panel on minecraft, will make your gfx a happy little puppy and also reduce the heat/noise level from your card. Mine goes totaly berserk without vsync.

Maybe it solves the freezing to

I'm guessing that your computer screen is at 60Hz, which makes any FPS over 60 obsolete.
A screen at 60Hz is updated 60 times per second, if your game is updating the frames 60 times per second then you will not see any FPS lag at all.
But if your screen is at 60Hz and your FPS is at 300 you can notice FPS lag because the game is updating the frames more frequently than your screen are.

Any FPS above the Frequency Rate of your screen is 100% obsolete.

Like NormySan said, activate vsync. Vsync will cap your FPS so that it will be at the same frequency rate as your screen.

[Profyrion]

+600 FPS is useless for anything other than just seeing how many frames you can get. And I can't imagine the ungodly tearing you'd get from that.

As was mentioned, force VSYNC and your system will be a lot happier, even if it doesn't completely solve your intermittent freezing issue.

Well java dosnt give you your operating systems java but the java you have on your browser so go here: h t t p:/ /w i n d o w s 7 t h emes. net/windows-7-java-64-bit-download .html, and download the "Windows x64 self-extracting JDK file" it gives you a 64 bit java. assuming you have pc, sorry had to put spaces dosnt let me put in links

First off had to include spaces so it would let me post. Well java dosnt give you your operating systems java but the java you have on your browser so go here: h t t p:/ /w i n d o w s 7themes.net/windows-7-java-64-bit-download.html, and download the "Windows x64 self-extracting JDK file" it gives you a 64 bit java. assuming you have pc

And... You couldn't have linked him to Oracle's site for the files, instead of Windows7themes? That definitely looks... You know, legitimate.

OMG 600 FPS, mine doesn't even scale upto 100

[Deleted]

600 fps !

[Deleted]

Force Vsync, running at such high fps can never be good. As it will not maintain a constant 600 fps.

[Deleted]

I had the same problem with my game. Thanks.

[dgam02]

Force vsync and set your fps limit to 60. That should keep it running smooth.
