Minecraft 1.3 on August 1st. - Prepare for laggier Clients.

[Roadkill909]

Um I think a point was missed, unless I myself missed something. The performance drop seems to mainly affect singleplayer, not multiplayer. At least that's what I can tell from the quote:

Since single-player has been turned into a shell on top of a background server, the game’s resource requirements have increased. When playing single-player, the game needs to be able to both simulate and emulate the world, which take many more CPU cycles. We’re working on optimizing rendering, but those improvements will not be included until Minecraft 1.4.

Multiplayer clients won't need to run a background server. So if you player multiplayer, it should be the same FPS, unless there are some internal changes to multiplayer that I'm not aware of.

I think this is the right direction, and this direction helps Multiplayer much more than singleplayer. There have been so many times where they fix a bug in singleplayer but not multiplayer. Now things are for the most part guaranteed to work for both since they don't have a bunch of redundant code. It also means slightly quicker development of Vanilla.

@SonOfAGunner Think your toaster can handle it?! D:

BYE GUYZ. IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU.

 

[MajorasMask]

Hmm. With Spout I get around 30-40 most of the time. Usually more if I have everything lowered, but most things already are.

Hopefully i'll be good.

Damn. All these things happening to Minecraft, this server and many others are taking it up the ass arn't they? Whoever said it was right, let's hope the community doesn't get too badly damaged by this!

I play with 30-60fps, but when I engaged in PvP/combat with another person I drop to 10-20fps with optifine. Without optifine, I have 20-30fps, but about 5-15fps when engaged in PvP.

I'm trying to upgrade my pc along with getting it fixed so I'm going to be fine. Plus I had 200 FPS at all times beforehand. I wish everyone luck because I know most of you have bare-minimum. I'm going to miss most of you And shiiit GTA is going to drop off the map with this :/

BAH this is a bit ridiculous (Scratch the BIT its fucking horrible :/)

 

[Psychokhaos]

That's with my laptop, though. I also have access to this computer that I'm right now, which, with Spout, gets an average of 200 FPS. I just wouldn't be on as often If I ended up having to use this computer, as it used by the rest of my siblings. :\

 

[OrangeAngel]

There isn't an FPS loss. Been playing the release candidate and I honestly have more fps. I think you guys may have missed the part where they still optimized part of it.

Maybe my toaster is sexy and it knows it, and it is better than all.

 

[SonOfAGunner]

I've been getting 45fps at a MAX and that's on good days. Lately it's been around 6.

 

[Plob5]

yo

 

[_KittyGotWet_]

Oh geez. I run around 15-25 FPS usually. Time to add to the already huge list of games I can't run.

 

[OrangeAngel]

15-25? You people are EXTREMELY greedy. A game is playable at 15fps, honestly only when you get below there you can tell the difference when you aren't looking really hard.

Actually I can easily tell when I land above 30 fps. I'm not saying it isn't playable considering I run on average between 7-10 fps but it is a noticeable difference

I'd like to point out its not gpu intensive or CPU intensive its just that Java is a memory hog if they switched platforms it be easier

Actually the way that they've written Minecraft makes it quite GPU intensive as the client renders each block in range individually.

well if you have a stock card you may notice it but I personally dont notice the gpu intensive part

There goes any hopes of having any form of graphics in MC. /me says hello to a foggy, horribly lighted Minecraftian landscape
