    This may become a thing that i do, but I'm just gonna stream some jc2 now. I might turn this into a thing at some point, but for now, feel free to enjoy some compressed, but action-packed gaming that will end horribly. http://hitbox.tv/Cardinal799

    Right, now I'm fighting my Xbox One controller. It's decided to not install it's drivers correctly. It's actually starting to piss me off ever so slightly now.

    - - - Updated - - -

    God! This is stupid! Give me an error code. Give me some troubleshooting guides! GIVE ME SOMETHING!
    How the hell does this thing work in Windows 8.1 and my previous install of 7, then fail to install now?

    THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!!!

    I'm gonna jump off a bridge.

    It shouldn't be demanding, but it is because it seems to be terribly made. By that I don't necessarily mean bad performance, but inconsistent performance, in that it might run great on one gaming rig, then terrible on another, then perfect on some 4 year old laptop.

    Last time I tried the game (main machine specs are GTX780, 8GB DDR3, i5 3570), it would play for 2 minutes then begin to stutter to death. I would have one second of gameplay, then it would freeze for five more. This was regardless of Optifine, clean installs, server running in the background or not, anything. Meanwhile a college PC with an i3 2100 and integrated graphics runs it perfectly fine.

    A computer that has the CPU, GPU and RAM grunt to max out BeamNG and run at a solid 60FPS should not perform this badly with a game as simple as Minecraft, ever. It says something about the state of the PC version when I have to play it on console if I want a playable version.

    How much ram did you have allocated? Minecraft tends to freak out and stutter with more ram then it actually needs (in general anyway thats the case anyway) I find that 1gb-2gb is fine however


    Edit:
    Indie studio says it was refused insurance because it makes violent games

    That's rediculous

    Only time I've seen Minecraft splutter and die over time has been when running 32 bit Java on 64 bit windows. The giant download button on the Java site always downloads the 32 bit version.

    I've been tricked by this more than I'd like to admit. Minecraft really doesn't like 32 bit java on 64 bit machines.

    When I did it I tried the default amount, then 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, none of them worked. 32 bit or 64 bit Java made no difference either.

    Something tells me that that's the wrong way to go about that. I think they're actually going to make things worse.
    Maybe a petition to have the game put back on shelves?
    I dunno, but that'll probably be more meaningful than all that.

    Since when did australians use logic? They live in a country that just wants to fucking kill you at every opportunity while blasting down highways in the violent offspring of a sedan and a muscle car or its inbred cousin the ute.

    Lol @ changing their logo and banning mario.
    I do agree though, if GTAV was banned 50 shades should be too. I think the petitions show how ridiculous the first petition was.

    "GTA V encourages you to kill women for health points....."

    Shows how little research these idiots do. Also, way more men are killed in the game than women, idk what they are talking about.
