No Prefix - Not too much of an actual issue....

    For some reason as of late Shotbow has started to lag on me insanely bad. Which ruins just about every gamemode on Shotbow for me. I don't know why it does this, but basically I was just wondering if you guys could think of anyways to help my slight lag issue. I've already tried lowering all of my video settings by turning off clouds and lowering the render distance it still lags though. Can you think of anything else. I've also already tried re-downloading minecraft.

    Excessive lag or little lag? (like, dropping half of your frame rate, or just a couple of frames and the occasional lag spike?)

    I like how I have a problem with Lag and Darn posts this huge list of stuff for me to do making it so I don't want to complain about lagging.....that's actually a smart idea if someone has an annoying problem just give them a long stressful answer that will make them stop complaining and move on....I'll get to those websites soon enough I'm busy at the moment though, so you'll have to excuse me for now....someone can lock this since I can still access the links. Thanks for the help Darn :D

    funnily enough, i had someone read this thread, do the tests and get an answer. they followed my follow up advice and went from 20 fps to 220 fps.

    i'm not saying this will work for everyone, but if i have these details, i can usually help.

    I can't tell you why a pea tastes like a turnip without knowing details.

    As soon as you are able :)

    the sooner i have details, the sooner i can see if i can help.

    Trust me though, that post was not meant to put you off, and if there is any way i can put it that makes it easier, please let me know.

    I tried to split it into manageable sections as best i could.

    Mr_Darn has been inactive recently, I have no clue when he'll be back, but you probably won't be getting a PM response for some time :)

    Hmm...well I use this as a link to help out people with lag issues. If Mr_Darn is inactive can people PM other Administers?
