FPS randomly locks at under 10; doesn't fix until Minecraft is restarted

[Joel/MadDawg]

If you think the problem is 1.7.4 optifine, uninstall it for a few games and see if you don't get lag spikes as much anymore.

This issue happened to me, Dak. So, basically, I think it was said before, but you have to have the right bit java, that matches your computer, so if you have 32 bit windows XP, get the 32 bit java.

I stress again, you cannot allocate more than 1GB of RAM without 64 bit Java and thus a 64 bit OS.

Any errors when the game closes? Sounds like you used up all your RAM when minecraft is running

No, it doesn't close, I have to close it myself and open it up again to get the lag to stop. And sometimes, it won't get back to normal until I restart my computer.

I suggest going into your options.txt. In there, you will find a thing that says MAX FPS. Put it up to 10000. This works for some people, but not all, so sorry if it doesn’t work!

This was happening to me all last week. I started using minecraft without optifine and its works now, but if you don't have a good laptop I don't think that's an option.

Now here's the problem I'm getting:

Now here's the problem I'm getting:

;-; That's awful. Maybe it is time to get a new graphics card, our new comp. As for the fps drops, (Using W7) I would do CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to task manager. Then go to apps or where ever and right-click on the java file. Go to priority and make it High. Otherwise, I dunno what to do.

I was going to post here earlier, but I got stuck staring at Leon|TheBluemeerkat's signature and then had to go after 5 or so minutes.

Is it a Texture/Resource pack issue, or something with one of your settings? I normally run 100+ FPS easily on decent settings, but when there's a lot of entities nearby, such as from a TNT explosion, it drops to like 15 and stutters. Perhaps it's a similar case?

Have you tried not using the optifine though? I think it's worth trying, just in a different profile or whatever. I'm not saying to stop using it, but if optifine is the problem, this would help to find out.

I got the issue the other day on SG2 so I changed my texture pack in-game and it stopped for a while; but then I started getting what you see in the video I posted, which also causes the FPS to drop. I will try not using optifine, but for now I'm going to try using 1.7.2 optifine. It never started until 1.7.4.
