god I love minecraft, but this lag after teh 1.8 update. its changing my veiws. v.v I cannot get past teh 5mineute marker without it lagging tio the point where my whole laptop freezes. hopefully soon I can get the main computer that is more suited to play games, fixed. then I can play and host a private server for my minecraft friends.
Or more like hopefully an official release will be out soon. The funny thing is, this game shouldn't not be so RAM intensive, even for a Flash game. There coding is just so sloppy in the beta, there are so many unnecessary memory leaks, that memory is just bleeding through.
Once the game is optimized, there will be a lot more older, and less powerful systems, that should be able to play Minecraft without issue.
