MC-366It's pretty easy to explain.
While using the old launcher, 1.5.1 was at a very convenient FPS of about 150. However, using the new launcher cut my FPS down to about 20 in regular worlds, while on flatlands it levelled at 35.
I can see a connection here. The new launcher closes itself and opens a new window, while the old launcher didn't. It seems that by opening a new window, the gameplay is slowed down a lot. This has occurred with the Feed the Beast modpack as well as MagicLauncher, which both have launchers that close after launch and open a new window to play Minecraft in.
This is really inconvenient and I don't want to play Minecraft where by pressing F5 twice, my FPS will drop to 5.
EDIT: Somehow it got fixed. Or maybe Mojang did something that fixed it, now getting a 200 FPS on flatlands. Thanks version 0.2!
Happened to me too mate. I think it's because the launcher opens a new window with the 13w16a game. This causes the severe lag. I dropped from 150fps in 1.5.1 to 20fps in 13w16a. REALLY BIG inconvenience.
I checked my nVidia card settings and I am not playing on Integrated settings. Whilst playing in a jungle on all three settings, I get about the same FPS each time. However, the root.gameRenderer.level.terrain started at about 62% and rose up slowly to 65%. Settings were on fast, no smooth lighting, with vSync and Advanced OpenGL on.
