Daggercraft RPG Vengeance Version 6.1

Common Questions and Answers

This modpack does not render properly and has lots of graphical bugs. What can I do to fix it?

Start with disabling Optifine's features, or just removing it entirely. This pack runs on 1.7.10, which is frankly an ancient version of Minecraft at this point, and many graphics drivers (especially those running on integrated graphics processing, which is basically any computer without dedicated up to date graphics cards) just don't function properly in this version of Minecraft anymore. I hear installing specifically the most recent versions of Java 8 64 Bit can help, but it is hardware specific and I have not been able to test this properly myself.

My modpack is laggging / crashing / freezing/not even starting up. Is there anything that can fix this?

There are quite a few solutions to this

Installing 64 bit Java (if you have a 64 bit OS) and increasing your RAM

If you have a 64bit OS like Windows 7 64bit, and an installation of 64 bit java, you can allocate more ram which will boost your game performance. With Technic, it's easier than ever to allocate ram. Simply go to your Technic options while in the Technic Launcher Applilcation, then click java settings, and choose the amount of RAM you want Minecraft to use. The more ram the better, but it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you don't allocate all of your RAM. Find a good midpoint for the amount of RAM you want allocated to Minecraft, Ex: If Technic gives you the option to use 4GB, choose the 2 or 2.5GB option instead. You need some spare RAM for background processes, running other apps, etc, and you don't want to max out your RAM, since it will cause severe performance issues and possibly blow up your computer (By downloading and using this modpack, you agree that I, online alias TheMCJarhead, am in no way responsible if your computer actually does blow up while using this modpack.)

Disabling/Removing some mods

Daggercraft contains a few extensive mods. Not Enough Items can steal some of your fps. If you want to utilize the mod, but don't like it destroying your fps, pressing (Default O) while in your inventory will disable it so it isn't there destroying your fps every time you open your inventory. Press (Default O) again in order to bring NEI back up whenever you need it, but if you want to save some fps and clutter on your screen, it doesn't hurt to toggle it off until you need it.

Take advantage of Optifine.

Don't forget to take advantage of the amazing Optifine mod, which does wonders if you set it up with the right settings to best fit your computer. I'm sure there are many optifine guides out there with more information, but I'll give you the basics. If you have a CPU with 3 or more cores, it's recommended that you set the Chunk Loading setting in your Video Options to Multi-Core (From my experiences, using multi-core may cause some flickering in the world rendering, especially when using shaders paired with an Nvidia GPU. There's probably a way to fix this in the drivers but you could just use Smooth instead). This is probably the best way to get the most out of your computer and run Minecraft at a higher fps. If you have 1 or 2 cores, smooth is a better option. The "Advanced OpenGL" tab is only for those with a graphics card that supports OpenGL. If you don't have a graphics card, ignore this option. If you do, set it to Fast for better performance and Fancy for more graphical options, but slightly slower performance. For the best balance between the look of your game and fps, I would set Fancy Graphics to Fast and Smooth Lighting to Minimum (In my experiences, I've found that Minimum smooth lighting runs better than Maximum and even OFF smooth lighting for some odd reason). Make sure to take the Max Framerate Slider off of vSync if you don't want that annoying slight input lag, and set it to a comfortable fps for Minecraft to run at, like 30/60/120 fps. This will make Minecraft try to retain a steady framerate around the area you choose and run less intensively on your PC. It can help to change the resolution in the "Other" tab in your video settings. Lower values increase your framerate, but it might make your game a little blurry. It's Minecraft, so it doesn't really matter anyways. It's all really pixely in the first place. I do recommend that you maintain a resoultion that fits your aspect ratio, though. (i.e, 1280x720 for 16:9 Monitors, 1024x768 for those with the dinosaur 4:3 monitors). The rest of the graphics options with optifine may vary from computer to computer, but some tweaking and experimenting should get you with comfortable settings.
