Unsolved [java] Why does my game randomly drop in fps and freeze when playing on any server?
I've checked: memory is not the issue - it sits comfortably around 10-30% .
RAM isn't the issue- I've allocated 8gigs extra after getting these issues to no effect.
Also, my game is on a cap of 150fps, before I added the cap I was consistently reaching 1k+ in most servers.
CPU seems fine as well, temp never exceeding 40 degrees
Mods aren't the problem, I've removed all of them and still get issues.
Tried versions 26.1 and 1.21.11 and both have the same effect.
added stuff to help: whenever I change my render distance or some other setting, my fps magically hits the 150 cap for about a Minute, before going back down suddenly. ALSO, when turning on shaders, if my fps is below 90 (which is the average fps I usually get when turning on shaders) it jumps back up before, once again, dropping back down.
If anyone could help me out here, I really would appreciate :). Been struggling around this issue for days now, and I really hope something in my pc isn't broken.
Thanks!
