So on Windows I do not repair this problem?

Try to reduce view distance in the minetest.conf file, make a copy of it, paste it, rename "minetest.conf.example" to "minetest.conf", then change the view distance to minimum 15 (it should be somewhere in the config file), then launch Minetest. It's because Minetest loads more world files, so there is more stuff to render...

enable or disable anything that isnt needed like new style water and leaves

I had a PC just like yours.

I had windows XP, make sure you press R, and turn all the extra junk off.
I'd get 20-30 fps, but it's drop sometimes.

My mate had the same problem, he found that turning clouds off made the biggest CPU decrease & FPS increase

by **Staffs** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 12:35

How to turn off clouds ?

by **Menche** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 14:10

To turn off clouds, write "enable_clouds = false" in minetest.conf.

I'm having the same problem. I'll go from 25-30 to 4 and its highly unpleasant. Where is the Mintest.Conf file in Ubuntu? O.o

If the build was compiled with RUN_IN_PLACE=0 (i guess that is the case for the Ubuntu packages), the path should be ~/.minetest/minetest.conf. Btw (regarding your other topic) you can set texture_path there too, so you don't have to overwrite files in /usr/share/minetest to change the texture pack.

I'm still having the same problem no matter what I do. ._.

ok yea so to view the conf file do this

home folder ---> .minetest (click ctrl + h to view hidden files)---->minetest.conf

Minetest scales very well too older hardware, but you need to turn basically everything off if your going that small.

Also, don't turn unlimited viewing range on, that will drop you down to like .5 fps.

You may have missed that this topic is > 4 years old!

by **benrob0329** » Tue Mar 01, 2016 15:38

Oh, then shouldn't topics like this be closed?

by **MineYoshi** » Tue Mar 01, 2016 22:03

I don't know....
But it's better you don't bump old Topics :D

Nothing above helped. But this ..

... is quite ideal solution -> http://memory.dataram.com/products-and- ... re/ramdisk

Before FPS choked almost every 5sec, going from 40 fps to 25. Now, it's way more stable.
