My game lags terribly

[Soudon]

Ok first off my PC Specs are

i5-5200U (says quad core really has 2)
Nvidia GeForce 940M 2GB VRAM
8GB RAM
1 TB HDD

I've played with FPS wanted and FPS Max but I still get and this is a wide range but 30-60, now 30 to 40 while running around and a solid 60 while in the same area doing mining/building. Yes I've played with render distance I verified my PC is using the Nvidia card and not my integrated card, Drivers for everything are also up to date if anyone has an idea of what might help please let me know.

disable full viewing range (press R)

[Soudon]

That's always disabled I don't ever enable it.

Thanks

You have 60 fps max? "Vsync on" in driver control panel could be at fault.

[Soudon]

Vsync on or off max fps set anywhere from 60-120 still lags

try adjusting your view range with +/- on numpad.

Ok first I had already set the view distance in the .conf file to 30, I did however toy with it in game with the +/- as you suggested still it drops frames while moving around I just don't get it. I had a PC with a 512MB graphics card played it much smoother.

Are you playing a local game or a network game?

Turn OFF shaders and smooth lighting and see if that helps.

[Soudon]

Shaders, smooth lighting, particles, clouds all off still lags but there's a little improvement, now it's laggy when I turn and pretty solid when going one direction.

I have a similar problem. Fps is not the problem. I can have 60Fps and as long as I walk straight everything is fine.

Maybe you have cinematic mode active?

Maybe you mean game stuttering? Can you press F5 few times to turn on graphs, wait until lag and make few screenshots.

And on my current system it is a big difference between normal leaves and fancy leaves

I will do that however I have the graphs up and FPS is the only thing to drop, I will take screenshots and post them in a little

At work so might be a few hours, also whoever said about the leaves I believe I'm using static leaves. Or it's normal one game I played recently had static I'll have to double check that.

Something running in the background (AV, Windows update, etc)?

No nothing in the background but now magically its working just fine, all I did was delete everything minetest (I was annoyed lol). Now re downloaded and its fine I changed leaves to simple and opaque still just fine, so idk but its fixed, slight stutter here and there, nothing major.

Anyway since I have a slight stutter here and there I attempted to catch it on a screenshot so here are two.

Seems fine? Try playing in windowed mode, also make sure no tasks are running, for example win7 (and possibly 8) update tool is known to eat lots of cpu for hours.

My Game lags too so terribly.
I use Ubuntu so I don't thing that something runs in the background.
I think it's the same Problem.
