Problems with Java (Specifaclly minecraft)

**Karbuncle** · 2011-02-26 17:16

I don't know where to start or generally even to post this, So... I'll jump into the problem.

I recently purchased minecraft, its a great game, but playing it there seems to be a problem with my Java ... In general.

To describe my problem, I'll play the game and after about 1-2 minutes of playing it'll just flat out crash and close the window, So curious i decided to open CTRL/ALT/DEL panel and see how much "mem. usage" it was taking up.

Minecraft is low, But my Java starts running @ about 400,000k, build up to about 900,000k or more, rather rapidly, which eventually leads to it flat out crashing Java and taking the game with it, followed shortly by a little note-pad document like this:

Spoiler: show

.

Its frustrating cause I do not know whats Causing it... My brothers Laptop runs it fine, hell even my moms computer runs it fine, But My PC just keeps getting this problem. Java will build up more and more usage and then crash taking the game with it, and i appear to have no way to prevent or stall it.

I've tried Un-installing/re-installing both minecraft and Java on two separate occasions and the problem persists.

Any ideas?

Turn down your draw distance and turn on framerate limit.

Could also be faulty memory. Run a memtest.

Memtest came up negative, and the other solutions appear to just Slow the Inevitable. (Program Crashing).

It rises at an Alarming rate. It'll Start around 450,000k (My brothers is @ this too when we run but his stays at this number). and it'll rise by the thousands over and over until it crashes.

Bah this is ridiculously frustrating. But I guess I'll get over it since my problem seems to be unsolvable

Probably just scrap my computer some time and buy a new one. It is rather old.

These numbers are normal memory usage for MineCraft but it looks like the openGL renderer on your ATI drivers/vidcard are causing the problems. Reducing the graphic quality and draw distance usually help.

After browsing the ATI developers forum it seems to be a confirmed problem with some combos of drivers + vidcard causing your leak when rendering primitives with OpenGL.
