FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

hi all , i am new. sorry if this is at the wrong side of the forum :S , but is there a way to make the game run faster? i mean. it runs very slow on my PC , and i wanna MP with my Sis , but the lag is too much :( is there a mod like optifine for MineTest? :O

It depends on what your PC is like, and what you mean by lag
Some simple things you could try:
>set the view range to something low like 30-50 nodes
>disable clouds, shaders, smooth lighting, particles, and texture filters
>use simple leaves
>try changing the video driver
>try disabling cinematic mode

There will be in 0.4.15 (coming soon!....hopefully)
Pressing 'z' key will zoom in. If you have the priv.

well the PC specs are:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz (2 CPUs) , ~1.8GHz
1GB RAM
DirectX 11


and by lag i mean--- FPS kinda lag :C

lol hahah that be a nice thing though XD

You could also try reducing the maximum fps, or turn on/off vsync.
Also if you're using windows, try using one of these builds https://minetest.kitsunemimi.pw/builds/
and direct3d instead of opengl

Latest is prone to errors. It is not stable at all. Always go with stable unless you want to stay up to date on whats going on and don't mind things not working. I have both on my PC. That's how I know about the zoom.

it is still very lag :S , although. when i make the screen resolution smaller it starts to work fine :O

1 GB is really low - the OS alone will probably claim much of it.
Also: Windows / Linux, what graphics-card ?

And "slow" / low FPS is not the same as "lag" / high ping / caused by network or server.

Or just buy a nice PC like this.
Only 5500€

OP!!! :P

but its still the same anywhay though? Network lag, video game lag :P , Shes on Win7 Though :S (i would just install Linux. buuuuuuut my brother wouldn't want that) , also wow. thats a nice looking PC. it would make a giant hole in my pocket xD

(i will go see the graphics card as soon as i am allowed to turn on the PC XD )


UPDATE:
hold on, i forgot to mention. its using an integrated graphics card ^_^ . . . i know thats bad V_V

Use the 'opaque leaves' setting.

yeah , i did that. sadly. it only gets faster when i Make the Screen Resolution a small standing rectangle :C


also, integrated graphics is Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller ^_^

I think some of server performace settings will reduce memory use

and you can make map load smaller area which should help memory
# The allowed adjustment range for the automatic rendering range adjustment.
# Set this to be equal to viewing range minimum to disable the auto-adjustment algorithm.
# type: int
# viewing_range_nodes_max = 160

# The allowed adjustment range for the automatic rendering range adjustment.
# Set this to be equal to viewing range maximum to disable the auto-adjustment algorithm.
# type: int
# viewing_range_nodes_min = 35

and probably best thing is to kill all programs you're not using on you computer while playing. auto update, virus scan ect.

You could run MT at nearly constant 60 FPS with this ;)

I run MT at 60FPS on a i5-5200u laptop which was £400 (478 EUR)

I wasn't able to run it with constant 60 FPS on an i7 and a GTX970 with official Nvidia drivers on Linux.
