Did Minecraft get a new renderer? I logged in for the first time in month after updating the game and texturepack and I'm finding that it's not loading textures properly. But for some reason it seems to be loading chunks faster.

Yes, the rendering system was heavily modified or rewritten. There were clipping/tearing/edging issues all over the place when 1.5 was originally released. Most of them have been fixed, as far as I know.

Figured something had gone on. Now it seems totally random or not whether textures will load or not. In some cases, the main menu after logging in won't even load. Seems rather unstable.

Oh, now I remember! They changed the texture system to use individual image files instead of one big file. This was so they could have flexibility in the number of texture images. So, textures made for 1.4 and earlier simply won't work under 1.5 at all. There are some programs that can convert back and forth, I think, but I don't have any links handy.

Yeah, I've done a bit a searching and apparently you don't need MCPatcher in order to use HD texture packs any longer. Yay! Maybe that's what was causing the problems as I was patching and it didn't like it. This certainly simplifies things.

Wow. I just recently tried to login myself after a long time away and, after running the latest patch, apparently whatever new rendering engine they're using, my video card is too old to support it.

Robert Maxwell · April 15 2013, 05:33 PM

What kind of video card do you have?

137th Gebirg · April 17 2013, 01:13 AM

Disregard - all it took was an updated device driver. Working great now!
