Minetest 0.4.13 Lag Issues

Hello everyone.
I recently tried out the new update, 0.4.13, and found it real laggy. I played it on 0.4.12, and 0.4.11, and the game was running at around 70 FPS. Are there any fixes or something? I'd like that, because the new update is AWESOME, but laggy.
Thanks,
-Minerz

Here's an earlier post, if you haven't seen it yet:
Low FPSA minimap was added with 0.4.13, you can try to disable it and see if the problem sill persists.
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Ok, Krock! Thanks for the help. I'm going to try it out and see if it works out!

Krock, is 0.4.13 made for OpenGL or something? Because I have Directx and there is no option for Directx, OpenGL, Burningsvideo, and Software Renderer in the options.

You can still use Minetest.conf to change the driver. However, opengl is still recommended. The others cause problems.

Direct3D does not support shaders, since the only kind of shaders available in Minetest are GLSL shaders. (Direct3D uses HLSL shaders.)

Ok, rubenwardy. I'll try it out again and switch up the drivers. I'll try 'em all to see which one offers the best performance.

Oh. Shaders DO cause lots of lag, right?

They don't, if your graphics hardware is recent and powerful enough.

Ok. I had heard that shaders dropped this guy's frames by like, 30. Thanks.

It drops my fps by about 4, but I usually get around 16-20 anyway.

Uh, sorry for the random question, but where is the init.lua located? I kinda don't want to start a new forum topic on this.

In the individial mod directory, ie. minetest_game/mods/default/init.lua
That's the file that's run in startup, for modpacks, put the file modpack.txt into the same directory as the init.lua, and add mods there.

Thankyou, kaadmy! I've went back to 0.4.12, so there would be no lag issues.

Wait.. Is it me, or does the 0.4.13-dev version have much increased performance? I could do viewing range at 35 nodes before around 20 fps, and now I get about 25-40 fps with 130+ node viewing range??

What? My PC uses DirectX, and my Minetest (in 0.4.13), is laggy as HELL! Around what, 4-5 fps?

Do not use DirectX, it's unstable in Minetest. Use OpenGL instead

I'll try it. What kind of issues can it cause?

Shaders don't work, everything breaks and becomes red/black from what i've heard.

I made the mistake of changing from opengl and my screen was a mess. Here is the topic. The picture shows what can happen.

I can't believe it. This is exactly what happened to me. Twice. It's bad, really bad. It's probably the worst thing that can happen to you. But, since I use DirectX, will OpenGL work for me when I use it?

OpenGL is recommended.

Some Lag might happen by adding mods like techinc,that makes the world lag
