Crashes when returning from Nether or exploring in creative.

[Blacklight9]

I'm pretty much in "browse mode" with this mod at the moment, so I exploring everything in creative to look at the new biomes and such.

 

I've found that every time I return from the Nether, the computer hangs when loading the world and then crashes.  This doesn't generate a crash report.  It just dumps me back to the Technic client screen.

 

It also does this when I explore for a long time.  If I point myself in a direction and start flying, say for about 15-20 minutes, the   I will begin to notice a definite FPS drop until I will get to a point where I can see on the map where the next chunk isn't loading and then the game will stop completely and kick me out to the Technic client screen without generating a crash report. 

 

My computer should have plenty of ram and graphics capabilty to handle everything this mod throws at it so I don't know what's going on.  It seems to me like this problem is some kind of lag based crash but I can't figure out how to stop it.  Reducing the graphics quality and my render distance didn't help either.

How much ram do you have assigned to the client?

And keep the console open while you come back from the nether and see if that shows anything (This can be enabled by clicking the cog in the right top corner)

It was set to 1 Gig.  I didn't realize this was an option (I'm totally NEW to this client.). How many gigs is reccomended.?

2 is usually good for "big" packs like B-Team and Big Dig.  I guess you could go 3 if you're feeling saucy.  More than that and java starts to slow down.

I actually had it popped up to 3 and it made a HUGE difference in performance.  I was running around shooting the tornado gun and there was no lag at all which astounded me because I was using that "along with being in a REALLY DENSE redwood forest" with a village in it as my benchmark.  Performance really cleared up.  I hadn't even noticed that little options symbol up there.
