I have had a terrible time with lag since the 1.7? release when playing other servers. Is anybody else having the same problems? I realize that Noobstown isn't here to help fix my problems with other servers, but given the delay, maybe I can get my computer running right for V6. My lag on other servers mirrored my lag on Noobstown V5.
If it's server issues due to the update (I think I saw somewhere that the server code had a major overhaul) then I guess I'll just have to wait for Mojang to fix it. My game will freeze at 0 FPS for 2-3 minutes at a time (rough in skywars type mini games) then return to 40-90 FPS. The freezes aren't usually that bad, usually just a few seconds. I don't have any problems with single player or using this machine as a LAN host. I've played with the video settings in minecraft, but no change.
Computer specs: AMD Athlon II 4x800, 2G RAM, NVIDIA Geforce 8500 Graphics card, Windows XP Mediacenter. I know, almost out of date machine.
Looking at my description of the lag, it looks like the issue is with the servers, for the most part. Does this sound likely?
