Serious FPS issues.

[George]

Hi,

I'm currently playing single player with the Tekkit pack. Why you may ask? I started playing it on a server with a friend until he decided he didn't want to play anymore, so I just put it into single player as I didn't know about compatibility issues with Technic and Tekkit. Anyway..

I have a small house with a load of machines, nuclear reactor next to it, some solar panels etc. So basically, most things that would use up my CPU usage are in my house. I have 2 quarries and 1 pump outside my house, around 20 blocks away.

When I am in or just close to my house, I get around 20 FPS which I'm happy with overall. I run low settings as my laptop is not designed for heavy gaming. Now, the weird bit.. when I walk any further than around 10-15 blocks away from my house my FPS drop to around 2. I can't see any logical explanation for this at all.

Here are my specs:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

4GB DDR3 RAM

Running Java 7

If anyone has any clue what is causing this, I'll be happy to try pretty much anything. Before it never used to do this, it's just recently. Yes, I am on the latest version of Tekkit and the launcher.

Try muting your sound when the lagspike hits and see if it helps.

If so, delete your Industrialcraft sound files, they have a habit of causing insane lag.

That seems to have done the trick, thanks very much.

Not a problem, I have to deal with a sucky laptop as well :P

i seem to be having the same problem, but turning off sound doesn't help, the only difference is im on a server. any ideas?
