Hey guys. Ever since the DDoS attack, there have been a few instances where my frame rate will randomly plummet. Then the message found below will appear, and I'll have to totally restart my computer before I can even reconnect again. I've already allocated an extra GB of memory to MC, so I'm 90% sure that's not the case. Anyone else having this issue lately?
I am completely at a loss to explain how anything the server is doing could affect the memory use of a client. My best suggestion would be to update to Java 8 if you haven't done so. You can get it straight from Oracle here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html Though I would also be interested to know if this is something that is happening to others. And if it is, is it just on one particular server?
My computer is very laggy and when I enter the lobby the pet particles lag me out with that message because my PC can't handle lag very well.
Well that is definitely not a problem with the server. Try installing OptiFine and turning all of the settings to "off" or "minimal"
To find out how much RAM your computer has Open System by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties. In the System section, next to Installed memory (RAM), you can see the amount of RAM your computer has. THEN: http://www.wikihow.com/Allocate-More-RAM-to-Minecraft
Well, before I posted this thread I actually did this very thing. I believe I have something around 2 GB allocated to MC. Not sure how much everyone else is doing. I WILL say, however, that all 3 times I've experienced a crash have been before, during, or immediately after leaving a HG match.
I [rarely] play on another family-friendly server from time to time. I will try connecting with them to see if this continues, or if it's exclusive to the Sandlot. I will post my results later this evening when I get home.
This has happened to me too, but not with "Run out of Memory" it just crashing instantly and i never crash.
Think of memory as your school desk. It holds what you are currently working on, but you can't fit everything on it at once. In a computer memory is your RAM. Think of storage as your backpack. It is where you keep everything you might need while at school. In a computer, storage is your HDD (or SDD) If you need to work on something, you pull it out of your backpack and put it on your desk to work on. It takes time to move things from storage to memory. But once they are in memory (on your desk) you can use them quickly and easily. But what if you had a bigger desk? You could fit more stuff on there. You could have all kinds of history information and a dictionary right at the ready. You could access both quickly and easily without having to put one away and get the other out. Adding more memory to your computer (or assigning more to Minecraft) is like making your school desk larger. If you run out of space in your backpack, you just can't keep any more stuff, period. You have to carry another backpack (add another hard drive) or get a bigger one (replace your hard drive) Hope that helps
I like to think of the brain as the CPU, but maybe cache could be a piece of notepaper? Think of a long division math problem. Your brain is capable of doing that in all of the small little steps (divide, multiply, subtract, bring down the next number, repeat...) but you use paper to help store the last few steps you did so you don't have to try to remember everything. Eventually your paper fills up and you have to throw it away or erase something to continue.
