relates to MC-5805 When the game is paused, it still use... Resolved

Confirmation Status: Confirmed

 Description   

The main menu on certain computers. For mine for sure has it.
Has extremely severe CPU lag. It shows a pause, unpause kind of effect at a set intervel of 1 - 3 seconds and unfreezes 1 second after it freezes..
It effects not just the game but the Entire computer. Only when in the main menu. This bug might not be able to be fixed however.

A new option to be able to be toggle would help a lot for some people.
An option to disable the panorama view on main menu screen will help greatly. Bug can't be pinned pointed from my end on what does it. But it occurs no matter what when in main menu when you first launch game.

UPDATE:
In latest snapshot 13w41b

This issue spread to the ingame menu's also. The game is slowly becoming unplayable.

I can no longer update ticket. I no longer run on the affected operating system..

The issue is not present on my current computer.

This proves to be a system dependant issue.

I recently got a new computer.

This issue is now spreading to the ingame menu now.

What are you guys doing?

Can we just add a new option to the options menu to disable the animated menu and use the old dirt background or something. This bug might be a bug with specific video cards or something.

Comment by Christopher Krier [ 07/Sep/13 ]

Latest snapshots still contain bug.

Comment by Christopher Krier [ 21/Jul/13 ]

This still exist's. It has existed through almost all versions that have the animated background screen on main menu

I am currently going to keep a profile on latest snapshots.. Currently none out beyond 1.6.2 that is visible.

The bug will remain there from the looks of it. Even if the bug is not fixed. Could we get a option in the options to disable animated background on main menu screen... It will help me at least. I will continue update the bug report even if that is implemented..

It seems to affect Windows only. My friend has a mac and it does not effect him. I have tested it on 2 other window's computers.

EDIT:
MC-5805 When the game is paused, it still churns the CPU << I don't think it relates that well. It is only effected in the main menu (Start single player, Multiplayer and such)

My cpu does not even say it is at 100% when this occurs.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Comment by Christopher Krier [ 02/Jul/13 ]

There is a simple fix for this. Well its like a fix. Add a new option to options to disable background animation and use the old static dirt background.. From whatever version that was

This issue is quite annoying. Especially if someone forgets that they opened minecraft and they are using another application...

The issue might still be present in 1.5.1 I will check. I would suspect it will still be present for all versions with animated background on main menu screen.

Issue still is there.
