Hmm it looks like your texture pack is massive with 394 512x textures. It just barely fits into a 16384*8192 atlas texture, 1 more 512x texture and it'd have to double. That's just for the block textures.
FastCraft duplicates the texture atlas for double buffering which apparently exhausts your GPU memory, making the driver re-upload the texture every frame.

I'll add a config setting to control the duplication and probably some heuristics for the default behavior, it's obviously better to optimize for memory with very little GPU RAM or very high resolution textures.

Edit: LloydSev's case seems similar.

The png files in your texture pack are very efficiently compressed, the textures on the GPU are not. Even if it'd fit all into the GPU memory it's still up to the driver how to allocate everything. You could try to run FastCraft 1.6 with a texture pack which has about twice as many large textures for both blocks and items. If this causes similar issues my theory could be verified.

I went ahead and replaced the erroneous 512x textures in my pack (just one mod's textures), with 64x textures and the issue resolved itself.

Howdy,

I just wanted to respond back that I am running a nVidia GTX 650 with 2GB of RAM. My texture pack is 174MB unzipped.

Good evening!

I updated from 1.6 to 1.8-debug2 this evening and immediately experienced sub 5fps 100% of the time. I was able to alleviate the issue by reverting back to 1.6

Attached is the fc_debug.txt

Edit: As a note, I am *not* running Optifine. I am using Forge version 10.13.0.1208 on MC1.7.10

Hello Lloyd,
From my substantial amount of time on the forums I have come to learn a few things that i will gladly share with you.
1.) Currently [Alblaka] is on extended leave trying to deal with personal things and find more inspiration for industrialcraft. (Not too different from our beloved Notch.)
2.) IC2 is loved by its players and developers alike, if and only if the entire development team abandoned the project would it become open source.
3.) In the event that IC2 was fully abandoned I would bet that [GregoriusT] would be the first non IC2 developer to be able to take over the mod.

I wasn't asking to take over the mod, but to fork it. It's a subtle difference, but a significant one in terms of the project itself.

Good morning IC2 Dev-Team,

Long time lurker, new account for first post:

I've heard many rumors and some posts on other sites which I can't verify in regards to the IC2 mod. First is, I've heard that the main author of the IndustrialCraft 2 mod is no longer participating in mod development and that a few members of the Dev-Team are mostly working on compatibility, etc... but next to no new creative work is being done.

My question is this (moot if the rumors are totally unfounded, despite the latest "stable" build being for 1.4.5), how might I be able to get permission to Fork this project to continue proper development and give it the attention that it deserves within the Minecraft community?

Thanks,
Lloyd
