Minecraft FPS/ Lag Issue. Please Help!?
Ok, so a few weeks ago, my computer had updated and threw everything out of wack on my computer. Within the past few days I FINALLY got everything working right on my laptop again except for minecraft. Before the update(of my computer not minecraft. 1.3 was working fine till this), minecraft would run between 9 and 19 fps but since then minecraft will work at 30 fps one minute, and then the next minute it will only run with 1-6 fps or completely freeze, it will be like that for who knows how long, and then eventually go up to 30 fps and stay like that for a few minutes and then go back to low frames. At other times, it will bounce from 30 to 1 frames in the same minute. I've downgraded my Direct X to 10 (because my graphics card is not compatible with ver. 11) updated java, and changed my java to the 64 bit since my laptop is supposed to be able to run 64 bit. I've given minecraft enough memory, changed my texture pack to default, put render on tiny, installed optifine, changed blocks to fast and reduced particles to minimum. I've tried everything and it still doing this. Can anyone help, I really need to catch up on minecraft projects and stuff on servers.

3 AnswersVideo & Online Games9 years agoMinecraft Herobrine Still Exists!?
Ok so I always have heard about herobrine from people who played minecraft in school but I never really played the game until recently, so I decided to see what was all that fuss about herobrine was(i havent heard it in a while due to how "old" it is now) So basicly, I kind of got scared by the stories but nothing like pee my pants scared. So about a month an a half ago i took my laptop to school(because i needed a programmed installed and my teacher was willingly to help me install it) so then I had to free periods in a row, so i decided to use my lap top since i did bring my charger. so someone in my class said he had the full account on his laptop and he actually did bring it in the next day for me to try it out. so i was running around single player (because i dont want to be mistaken for him on multiplayer and give him a bad reputation but accident) and i swear i saw something, it looked like a default player with no eyes, it was far so it looked tiny but it definetly didnt look like a npc, the ones that look like munks with huge noses. can anyone else clear this up? i though herobrine was removed or something
7 AnswersVideo & Online Games9 years agoIs this even possible to mistake 9 months with 5?
Ok so I was talking to one of my friends and someone brought up health class, and my friend said she just remembered a story that a cousin of her's had gone through. She was telling me that her cousin got pregnent a while back but she didnt know it for a while until she started gaining a belly. So from what i was told, the doctor told her that she was 5 preg, but about a month later she had the baby, saying that the doctor did a "misculculation" and was further in the development. So I've just been wondering, is it actually possible for anyone, not just a doctor, to make that huge of a mistake in time of 5 months to 9 months? To me it just does not make sense to me. Thanks to those who clear up this because I just dont think its possible.

ok, like many pokemon fans around the world, we are trying to get shiny pokemon, so i looked up the Masuda Method and i've been trying for about 1 3/4 months to get a shiny mudkip. I've done everything that it says to do but no shiny, no im stuck with 231 mudkips. But here's the problem, my friend has pokemon black and he used the same method and started around the same time i did, and he got his shiny in less then a week. Is there something i'm doing wrong? The only pokemon in my party is a litwick with flame body, a male english swampert (and ive tried an english ditto) with a japanese female swapert.

4 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoMystery Pokemon Game PLZ HELP ASAP?
Ok, i was at a flea market looking at some games, n i find a DS game saying Pokemon with a weird pokemon on it. n it was all blue instead of black or grey like most DS games. so i said can i have that plz? because im a huge fan of pokemon. n the guy is like "are you sure? peopke keep returning it" n he seemed scared actually. n i said, "yea" so he gives it to me for about $15. so i started playing it and it looked like pokemon red and blue. so i pick out my starter like always, but when i looked at my party, n the pokemon behind be, it was weird. it looked like mewtwo, but it had a thiner head, 4 arms, and lots of tails, n it was named "DenilanX+" so i thought, what the heck is this? so i checked its stats, it says met in abyss, n it only knew 2 attacks. "Dark Claw" and "Sickle" and when i used any one of them on pokemon, it says it was a 1 hit KO n i get like 700 xp from a lvl 6 pokemon. so i kept playing, but as i defeated trainers, something weird happened. where they were supposed to be, was either a black hole, or there was a statue of them. so i kept playing through the game rather quickly and i finally defeat the elite 4. so i go and check the hall of fame(idk y but i always done that, force of habbit i guess) and then the screen starts making a screehing noise n then it says in pokemon style letters "50 years later........." n then i come out to be an old woman. i check n i have no pokemon, n the staues of trainers still remained. the towns were destroyed n empty. so then the games saying through the music "go......... to......... water.......... gym........." so i go and then i walk in, and its all black but i can see my character. then i get into a battle, n it was that weird pokemon wit 2 moves. it would only let me fight n do nothing else. so then my HP hits 0 n then the game says (btw the music stays the one in the pokemon tower through out the whole game) n it says "you're..... NEXT!" n then the pokemon's face jumps out of the screen! n then the screeching sound comes back n a blue and black screen comes. n then it says one thing on the screen. it says "new game........?" and then the eyes of the pokemon show up under the saying while the music says it too! im like heck no! i turn off my ds n never touch it again. ANYONE PLZ HELP! I LOVE POKEMON GAMES BUT THIS IS BEYOND CREEPY! i havent slept in days cuz it keeps freaking me out. oh n btw, i cant return it cuz the flea market moved out of town AND this thing wont break, not even wit an action replay(which i only use when a game of mine is damaged) or dropping it in water

3 AnswersOther - Games & Recreation1 decade agoPokemon Virus Help and Questions?
Ok, i know what the pokemon virus is but i want to know, how does a pokemon come up with it? I mean my pokemon i had in my team all had it one day when i turned on the game, when they didnt have it the day before. Then i've gotten 7 different pokemon from the GTS in Daimond and Platium. And there was one pokemon that i caught, and when i went to get him(it was drofloon) and it said it has the pokemon virus. And one time, one of the pokemon i transfered from Emerald had it too. I just want to know, how does this happen? And i've read its really rare to find it, and if thats true, then why have i gotten it so many times.
4 AnswersOther - Games & Recreation1 decade agoPokemon Emerald Problem?
Ok, i'm a huge pokemon fan and i love my pokemon from my Emerald game so i wanted to transfer them from Emerald to Diamon, Platinum, Soul Silver, and the new up coming game White. So as some of us know, any pokemon with a HM move can not be transfered, and the move must be deleated. This is where the problem is. My most treasured pokemon from Emeral is my Swampert, which knows Surf, but when i take him to the move deleter but he says "This pokemon doesnt want to forget this move." And i thought ok maybe its just a glitch with the move, but i had 4 other pokemon with that move, and that guy removed them. Can anyone help me out? I dont want to delete my Swampert but i want to know what has happened. And i shall also add that i have never used a cheat on the game if u think thats the cause of it. Please help.
