Hello, I'm running on a MacBook Pro 2.66 ghz, 8gb ram, bla bla bla. Anyways, I've been finding that opening the skcraft launcher has been ridiculously slow recently. My computer is not filled with a bunch of apps, and I check permissions, clear caches and all that stuff pretty regularly. i.e. I don't have a bunch of toolbars or crapware slowing everything down. Java is regularly updated, and no other programs are really running, besides chrome on occasion, when I'm trying to play minecraft. Would anyone know why my temp jumps to 160 for about two minutes+ while the launcher is trying to open, and then why it takes another two minutes+ or so for minecraft to finally load? If anyone has any ideas I would love to have some help with this.
Unless your laptop is a gaming orientated laptop or has proper cooling, that will always happen. The temp will always rise and it'll be slow loading, even with my PC it still takes a fair bit of time to load.
Sure, I mean I'm used to turning my fans up to 100% when I start playing any game to keep it under 180 or so, and maybe I'm becoming more impatient, but it seems to me that it's just been taking longer and longer.
Minecraft is pretty heavy on the hard disk. Especially when loading 100+ mods. I just had the slow loading problem on my PC. Easiest way to fix it is to backup your configs, screensaves, and minimap waypoints. Then delete Alice minecraft folder and get a fresh one from the server. Restore your backups and you're good to go for a few more weeks. Modded Minecraft is not optimized in any way. So, I kinda expect that things will go wrong eventually. A fresh install will usually fix minor issues like this.
That makes a lot of sense, I have the slowest drive, and when it's been a little cached it seems to load a lot faster. Thanks for the help!
I have been working with modded minecraft on mac for about a year now and have found that just tweaking little things helps, also on macs if you make it so that java can allocate too much memory it slows down your whole computer and makes everything act wonky, like at times I loose the ability to click my mouse even when I'm able to move the curser.
On a mac, Its like a brew of how much ram to allocate, Not too much and not too less, It needs to be just perfect, 1536mb of ram works well on my 4GB MacBook My Mac Specs :3 Spoiler MacBook 13-inch, Mid 2010 Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB Serial Number *********** Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C3012) And both memory slots both each have a 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3 in them (Copied straight out of "System Information" app )
