Game really choppy, unplayable

[eggbug]

Hi!

So I had this problem on Haven and Hearth 1 too, where it's just unplayable on my machine. For the first few seconds it's fine and runs extremely smooth but then it starts freezing for about 1-2 seconds every 1-3 seconds which is extremely annoying and makes the game unplayable.

I don't think it's my machine because I can run other things fine. I have a Dell XPS 8300, i5 processor, Windows 7 & 6GB RAM. I've never had a problem playing other games comfortably so I think it's something to do with Java & memory leak or something (please excuse my computer illiteracy).

I have the newest version of 64 bit Java and I've tried it on 32 bit as well and I get the same problems... I tried using other clients too instead of the default one and I get the exact same problem... It's not a frame rate or graphics problem, it's just incredibly consistently freeze-y.

Any help would be much appreciated! I already tried some stuff to do with Java like changing the -xms or whatever from 512 to 1024 and stuff like that but nothing is working.

EDIT:

I was having the same issues until I switched over to Ender's client and switched off shadows in the graphics settings. I suggest giving that a try.

Thanks so much for the quick response! Sadly it's still being freeze-y, it was actually great for the first minute or so but then it started freezing every 2-3 seconds again.
