What are your typical video settings when running vanilla MC?

Bigdig needs RAM allocated to it. By default 512MB to 1024MB (1GB) is typically allocated. There is a gear on the top-right corner that you can click on to adjust the amount of ram used by it. Try 2GB, if that just delays the lag for a while, then 3GB.

Turn things down like from Fancy to Fast and changing the lighting from Maximum to Minimal.

Next turn on Advanced OpenGL.

Rather than Fullscreen, try Windowed and maximize the window to fit the screen. If you're doing that, try the other way around.

Based on your system the RAM is shared with your system and graphics, as well as that particular APU is aimed at being power efficient. It may not have the "umph" behind it to run it.

As for the modpack itself, its very complex and a lot of the machines cause some of the lag. The hydrogen generators for example after 6 of them in a single chunk, really start to drag the system down.

i have 2 gb allocated and ive already done the video setting done. i really like playing it and will probably be buying a desktop soon. i just lags so much when i play big dig and ive tried allocating 3 GB still lags 2 Gbs still lags idk what to do.

Turn your laptop to high performance?

[Danielrise120]

Ahhhhh laptops.... Don't have a good way with minecraft even ultra performance sometime of playing it it will just drop to like 4 fps I know this because my brother owns a high end laptop and every 5 mins of playing on it it lags like crazy, I've had this problem with every laptop I've played minecraft idk what causes but it definitely needs to be fixed

Thermal protections probably kicking in.

I own a desktop with a ok processor and a gtx 550 ti you and i play on unleashed with added mods (I have like 130 mods on unleashed) and it never drops below 30 fps average of about 50-60

im working on getting a desktop most likely an alienware desktop with samsung monitor

[ApacheChief]

I wouldn't suggest an alienware computer like... ever. Build your own computer! It's easy, fun, and is way cheaper than buying a prebuilt one.

Also, use optifine ultimate D5 build. That one works for me. (1.3.13)

[DJ_NaWt_NiCe]

yea im planning on building my own now and what do u mean by optifine D5 build is there a link i can have?

danielrise102, that's not a high range laptop then. I have a high mid range gaming laptop and mine runs them at 60+ fullscreen. However on my desktop I have a awful gpu and my laptop has a more powerful cpu with a 3.50GHhz max turbo frequency and yet I was managing to get a stable 80 fps on my 6 year old desktop but yet this runs it worst! :/
