      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Solved] Does b77 have higher system requirements?

5 posts in this topic

My laptop runs 1.6.2 smoothly but now that I've installed b77 it grinds to a halt.  I nuked everything, did a fresh install.  I've closed all other non-essential processes to free up memory but the game is sooo slow.  Every once and a while java stops responding.  I throttled absolutely everything down in the options (e.g. render distance=tiny, smooth lighting=off, graphics=fast, etc.) but the game remains unplayable.

 

Here are my modest laptop specs:

 

Processor Intel® Pentium® CPU P6200 @ 2.13GHz

Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB
Graphics Intel® HD Graphics
Gaming graphics 1754 MB Total available graphics memory
Primary hard disk 601GB Free (684GB Total)
 
I figured that since I could run minecraft 1.6.2, I would be able to run b77.  Does b77 have higher system requirements?  Is there anything I can do short of buying a new system?  Can I somehow downgrade the graphics even more?  I've been tinkering all evening because I was really looking forward to this new build.

TFC do have higher system requirements than vanilla minecraft. Higher than 76? I can not say.

TFC needs more memory than the base 512mb that the vanilla launcher allocates. If you are running a 32bit system, set both the min and max to 1024, if you are running a 64 bit system, set the min to 1024 and the max to 2048 or 3072

Thank you aliceingame, Lykourgus, and Kittychanley.

 

I was able to play the game with a different laptop.  As expected the graphics card made all the difference.

On my first night I got attacked by the cutest little zombie.  It was cute until mommy and daddy came...
