[bulletrulz]

Make sure shaders are off. You can also disable smooth lighting, mip-mapping and the filters to help improve performance.

Also the 3d clouds off too!

Play in fullscreen:

Code: Select all

fullscreen = 1
screenW = 1024
screenH = 600

There's probably not much to do about this, since you're on a netbook, which is clearly not intended for demanding applications.

Go either to this link - viewtopic.php?id=7879
Or go to this link - viewtopic.php?id=1825

And put those settings into 'minetest.conf'

Can't find 'minetest.conf'? Follow these steps - <minetest_directory> --> 'minetest.conf'

Don't enter the 'minetest.conf' EXAMPLE file, that's just for 'minetest.conf' help. Go into the file named minetest
and it's type of file should be .conf

Hope this helps! ;)

Mine has the same specs (running crunchbang), and I bought it 2.5 years ago :p MT never played well on the netbook, the trackpad was too sensitive, and there were all sorts of visual artifacts :/

Generally, the frame rate bases on the graphic card. Not-very-good graphic cards can not provide all features which MT offers.

@Hybrid Dog: That looks _very_ interesting.

That looks _very_ interesting.

For me it looks usual.

Thank you everyone for the help. Minetest used to play very well on this netbook, I think minetest has just evolved alot. Nevertheless I will try all the suggestions mentioned by you guys.

Thank you very much turning the shaders off. Allowed me to actully be able to play :D

What can also help is this in your conf file:

viewing_range_nodes_max = 80

Playing around with that value improves my frame rate very significantly.
