Having trouble installing OptiFine

21 posts in this topic

Hey It's me again (thenoobwhocantdoanythingalone). I watched several videos how to install OptiFine, but wasn't successful. I need OptiFine, because my game has some lagspikes, which are pretty random and are about 1-2 sec long, don't know why. Maybe Opti can fix this. I have everything working (forge,TFC) but can't install OptiFine. I tried opening the Forge in /versions, and copying all OptiFine files in there, but the launcher wouldn't start.. I would really like to play this mod smoothly and without lagspikes :> Edit: Is OptiFine capable with forge 10.0.837?Edit2: I managed to install it (wrong code in JVM arguments), but now Minecraft runs out of memory. I have 4. 095 MB memory.(cmd)Thank you for your time

Are you using the Ultra version? I did and it worked.

 

Well, I did this. First, on Windows, you have to Show or hide file name extensions. Change the name of your optifine file from OptiFine_1.6.2_HD_U_B4.zip to OptiFine_1.6.2_HD_U_B4.jar

 

Then, I made folders in the /libraries/net folder: /net/optifine/optifine/1.6.2_HD_U_B4. In that folder, place the Optifine_1.6.2_HD_U_B4.jar.

 

After that, you open up your version (which should be a duplicate of Forge's version folder) folder and rename the jar and .json to whatever you named your version. Let's call it OptiForge.

 

Almost done. Open up the .json and change the id (at the bottom or top) to "OptiForge" or whatever your version is called. Also add this code:

{"name": "net.optifine:optifine:1.6.2_HD_U_B4","serverreq": false},

to line 8 of the .json.

 

Now, in your launcher, make a new profile and call it OptiForge. Make it use the version OptiForge, and add "-Dfml.ignorePatchDiscrepancies=true" after -Xmx1G. Make sure you add a space, otherwise, it will interpret it as a big long argument that doesn't exist. It should look like this:

 

-xmx1G -Dfml.ignorePatchDiscrepancies=true 

 

Yay! Optifine should work now!

Trying this now. Should I rename the downloaded OptiFine file .rar? Or something else? EDIT: <--I fixed this nevermind

Edit 2 : http://i.imgur.com/dwCq3rC.png which one?

Tried this but I keep getting this error, and yes I tried spelling it with your caps version and with the version suggested in the error... 

Gave up trying to download https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/libraries/net/optifine/optifine/1.6.2_HD_U_B4/optifine-1.6.2_HD_U_B4.jar for job 'Version & Libraries'Job 'Version & Libraries' finished with 1 failure(s)!

 Any ideas? I may be confused about your instructions on the versions folder page. I don't see where you said to create a new folder under versions but you mentioned some duplicate folder so I just copied the forge one and renamed the folder, jar and json to Optiforge.

You also need to change the id and add some code to line 8 that I posted in a spoiler. This new update...complicates things.

I did that also. I think I figured it out though. Seems to work now.

 

 

I had to name the original file that I put in the libraries/net/optifine/optifine/1.6.2_HD_U_B4 folder from

 

OptiFine_1.6.2_HD_U_B4.jar

to

optifine-1.6.2_HD_U_B4.jar

 

Notice the lowercase "optifine" plus the dash instead of underscore right after "optifine"

Good morning *Yawn*. Erm I am confused about the .json thingy. I only have 4 very long lines so it's not the 8th line for me(notepad)

Edit: If i set format to World Wrap I get around 16 lines. Is then this 8th line really the 8th line? Like here: http://i.imgur.com/nVavEFF.png  I should change the highlighted line?

Use Word Pad if possible, it will give you a better layout. Put the above code right after this line...

	    {			"url": "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/,			"name": "net.minecraftforge:minecraftforge:9.10.0.xxx"		},
The beginning of the file should look something like this when done...

{	"minecraftArguments": "--username ${auth_player_name} --session ${auth_session} --version ${version_name} --gameDir ${game_directory} --assetsDir ${game_assets} --tweakClass cpw.mods.fml.common.launcher.FMLTweaker",	"libraries": [		{			"url": "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/,			"name": "net.minecraftforge:minecraftforge:9.10.0.xxx"		},		{			"name": "net.optifine:optifine:1.6.2_HD_U_B4",			"serverreq": false		},		{			"serverreq": true,			"name": "net.minecraft:launchwrapper:1.3"		},
Also, don't forget to change the id at the bottom of the json file.

Ok I did this, but now when I try to make a new profile and select version, it only shows the vanilla versions, no Forge no OptiForge(I renamed the files as said)

You need to make a copy of the forge version and rename that folder to OptiForge. In that folder is where you change the name of the jar and json files and edit them. This way you have the 2 vanilla folders and the edited OptiForge folder.

Make sure the jar file in libraries/net/optifine/optifine/1.6.2_HD_U_B4/  is named exactly like this...

 

optifine-1.6.2_HD_U_B4.jar

 

With the lowercase optifine and the dash after it instead of the underscore.

 

Hope that helps!

So do I have to go through all this to make optifine work? They released a version that's supposed to be loadable by forge, but when I put it into the mods folder the game doesn't even open

Ultra version doesn't always play nicely, but that should cause it to remove TFC loading.. are you sure you have both the TFC download and the Optifine download side by side in the same mods folder?

I don't see a problem with all of the editing, my problem is very much more basic, in the profile editor you cannot just tell it to use Optiforge. Think we need more detail here then just "tell it to use OptiForge.

 

 

It only has the official versions listed and the version that forge installed.

Copied directly from the Optifine's Minecraft Forums Post:

B. Simple (for OptiFine 1.6.2_C4 and newer)- Put the OptiFine JAR file in the Forge "mods" folder- Start Minecraft and Forge should automatically load OptiFine

So if you're using any version after 1.6.2_C4 (Ultra, Standard, Light, Whatever) you don't need to do anything extra with the profile. Just install forge and TFC the same way that you would if you weren't installing optifine, and then drop optifine in the mods folder. That's seriously all that is to it. You don't need to go editing jars or making Optiforge profiles or anything.
