Why is Minetest running slowly?!?!? [!Need Help!]

[GingerHunter797]

Can someone please tell me why Im running Minetest so slow? I am currently using Windows 7 and it works fine on Lubuntu, but I recently wanted to play on Windows and when I started it up it was laggy! It freezes upon entering and exiting a singleplayer world and when Im in the world I get around 20 fps(which is fine) but I lag around and it is generally not fun to play...

My system specs...
processor: AMD C-60 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.00 GHz
Installed Memory(RAM): 2.00 GB (1.60 GB usable)
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
OpenGL 4.1
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1)

Test run of me playing my singleplayer world, ignore the fist few lines, I was starting it up...

Can anyone PLEASE help me!?!?!?!?!?

[Inocudom]

My first piece of advice is to give Fess's latest 64-bit build of Minetest a try. Let us know how that goes.

[GingerHunter797]

Thank you for such a fast reply!

I thought that this would have fixed the problem but when I ran it it says Im missing MSVCR100.dll
What does that mean? Do I need to install a library or something?

[Inocudom]

That is a library that you need to install. Follow the link below:

Ok, I installed both 32-bit and 64-bit and now both work fine. I dont know why I didnt have them installed, it was really wierd... Thank you Inocudom for helping me! I feel SO relieved now... :)

You have a very weak IGP, you can try disabling shaders and fancy trees. Also, try disabling Windows Aero (use the basic theme).

The only things I have turned on right now are 3D Clouds, Preload Visual Items, and Smooth Lighting. But like I said, everything works fine now. Thanks again for the help guys! :)
