FPS problem

[Minetester]

Before you read it: very sorry for my bad English

I have problem. Sometimes i have good FPS (20-30) and sometimes i have bad FPS (3-7). I don't now why. I have high FPS for 5-10sec. and FPS go down.

My hardware:

Intel Celeron (1 GHz)
512 MB RAM
128 MB Graphic

Please for fast respond.

Well i had the same thing but now i just use clean arch with openbox so its light fast as it can be but i have
1.8 Ghz
256 mb RAM
128 mb For the video card I guess

[Minetester]

As I Said, my English is very bad so i do not understand your respond. You could write it in easy to understand for me version? Can you write what i must do to fix it? What i must download?

I sorry again for my bad English. I'm in gymnasium so my english is no perfect.

has linux and it works good

[Minetester]

So on Windows I do not repair this problem?

Try to reduce view distance in the minetest.conf file, make a copy of it, paste it, rename "minetest.conf.example" to "minetest.conf", then change the view distance to minimum 15 (it should be somewhere in the config file), then launch Minetest. It's because Minetest loads more world files, so there is more stuff to render...

enable or disable anything that isnt needed like new style water and leaves

I had a PC just like yours.

I had windows XP, make sure you press R, and turn all the extra junk off.
I'd get 20-30 fps, but it's drop sometimes.

My mate had the same problem, he found that turning clouds off made the biggest CPU decrease & FPS increase

[Staffs]

How to turn off clouds ?

[Menche]

To turn off clouds, write "enable_clouds = false" in minetest.conf.

I'm having the same problem. I'll go from 25-30 to 4 and its highly unpleasant. Where is the Mintest.Conf file in Ubuntu? O.o

If the build was compiled with RUN_IN_PLACE=0 (i guess that is the case for the Ubuntu packages), the path should be ~/.minetest/minetest.conf. Btw (regarding your other topic) you can set texture_path there too, so you don't have to overwrite files in /usr/share/minetest to change the texture pack.

[Fallen_Phillip]

I'm still having the same problem no matter what I do. ._.

ok yea so to view the conf file do this


home folder ---> .minetest (click ctrl + h to view hidden files)---->minetest.conf

Minetest scales very well too older hardware, but you need to turn basically everything off if your going that small.

Also, don't turn unlimited viewing range on, that will drop you down to like .5 fps.

You may have missed that this topic is > 4 years old!

[benrob0329]

Oh, then shouldn't topics like this be closed?

[MineYoshi]

I don't know....
But it's better you don't bump old Topics :D

[Infernus]

Nothing above helped. But this ..

... is quite ideal solution -> http://memory.dataram.com/products-and- ... re/ramdisk

Before FPS choked almost every 5sec, going from 40 fps to 25. Now, it's way more stable.
