September 30, 2011 at 2:46 PM… HOLY SHIT it’s even less playable than 1.8 – that new lighting engine sucks MAJOR BALLS.
Running on a Win7 machine – dualcore 3ghz machine with 4 gigs of ram and two screens on a Nvidia Geforce 8600gt one would -think- i should be able to run this neatly…
… But in practice, even with all the graphics turnd to their barest minimum, i seem to be getting a maximum 10 fps when stationary and 2-4 when actually moving.
For the love of christ, Notch – please, give us retro-lighting as an option. And the option to turn the weather off…
Both the new lighting and the rain make the game instantly unplayable on my machine – and on those of at least six of my friends.
The funny thing is – my girlfriend’s dinky little e-machines box has no problem with either.
WTF?

October 2, 2011 at 4:30 AMi have absolutely no problems with this, i ran it on both my win 7 machines, one dual quadcore thermaltake setup with 12 gb ram and dual Radeon 5970’s and that was blazing, and the other with a simple dualcore-3ghz-4gbram-and a crappy nvidia card with 512mb dedicated video memory. and it ran fine on that too. im happy with it, notch just has to iron out a few glitches with the new swamp water, and ocean water(they dont look right when theyre right next to eachother its weird, and the lighting too. it’s a little buggy. but i love the warmth it gives the game :)
