I didn't make a post about this for weeks until I checked my frame rates in other servers using Minecraft version 1.9.4 I set my graphics to "fast" and lowered my draw distance to 5 chunks. Then I pushed the F3 button to check why ecc seemed so laggy. All things being equal, my fps in ecocitycraft ranges from 3-12. In other servers and single player, it is consistently 60. Thinking that maybe the trades signs in market or the farms near my town were to blame, I checked frame rate in mining world and did /wild. I still did not get more than 12 fps. So this is the reason I've been barely spending any time on the server. I can't imagine why this is happening but after a month I guess it won't fix itself. Is there anything else I can do try to fix this? It doesn't seem anybody else has this problem.
Do you use optifine? Edit: https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/how-to-reduce-lag-in-minecraft-boost-fps.83813/ try this
I have low FPS too. Optifine did nothing. With nothing fancy and optifine I could get 60. I am now running shaders and a 128 resource pack so the drop to 20-30 was expected. I was still surprised that optifine did not help more, given people talk about getting 100+ FPS. Also, I am on Mac book pro, which is not always the best for gaming graphics.
Ah well, I have no idea why ecc is doing it and not other servers. But have you allocated more memory available to it? You can go in edit profile in launcher and down to jvm arguments and change the minimum and maximum to a larger number. Like it will probably say Xmn1G and Xmax2G or something like that and just change the number in those both to a larger number, for example 4. I had this same issue but after doing that, it stopped. I am by no means an expert.
I haven't tried with any other servers yet, but... recently my FPS dropped to half of what they are when I use the same MC client (i.e., same mods and same 256x256 textures) in combination with three Spigot/vanilla localhost test servers. Using this setup used to bring my FPS from 600 to 200, now I have 100 - often with negative spikes down to 10 - when using only MC. I suspect a problem with my PC, but it is interesting to see that others have problems specifically with ECC.
I'm having similar problems, I tried closing all other programs including browsers and Skype. Then for some reason my gamma went from 100 or whatever I changed it to and back to 1, which is default.
I get 60 or so everywhere except the market, where it drops to 30-something with lots of trade signs about. This is with 59 players, from the UK, on a MacBook Pro with a vanilla installation, no plugins or packs etc.
That would work except if @DorothyLane has an older computer that only has 4G of RAM total. @DorothyLane please use Speccy to post your computer specs to see what might be the issue
Thanks Jacob. I have speccy installed but I'm not sure what is relevant here. You mentioned RAM so... Spoiler: Summary Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1040T 40 °C Thuban 45nm Technology RAM 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard Dell Inc. 0GK1K2 (CPU 1) 33 °C Graphics DELL ST2220L (1920x1080@60Hz) 2048MB ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 Series (XFX Pine Group)
It's definitely an aging system, as the game gets updated it is going to be more demanding on your computer. Phenom CPU's haven't been made for 4 years, and that RAM has a very slow clock speed compared to new RAM. Your best bet is going to be using the trick that was posted above to allowocate more memory. Don't give Minecraft all 8GB, try allocating 6, then 5, then 4 to see what runs the best. If your computer has a lot of stuff on it upgrading to Windows 10 and doing a clean install in the update process might help it, if you have too many old programs in the background it could be eating up your resources. If that doesn't work then it is just the computer's age that is the issue. Sadly the CPU seems to be a big bottleneck and you would have to get a whole new motherboard to replace that.
Try updating your graphics driver since the outdated GPU driver is the source of the problem why the lag became prevalent to the Minecraft users.
Hey, it worked! Thanks Oootopia and Jacob. I never would have thought of that solution myself and now I'm back to 60 fps.
