Minecraft hangs version 1.8.9 on my laptop itself
But some time ago it was still running smoothly
What can I do?
why is it?
What have you changed during this time? Installed? Posted?
And don't say "nothing" now, because then it would still work the same way as before.
Furthermore, information such as laptop model would be quite helpful.
Do you play with mods or without?
I use a lenovo thinkpad 430
And I have a lot of steam games or something for school
Possibly. If the memory is "overloaded" or something is running in the background, minecraft will no longer get as much RAM. But I can still recommend installing optifine that brings more fps and less lag.
So there would be possibilities:
oc (unstable)
heat
viruses (or programs in the background)
a hardware load (e.g. RAM, CPU, etc.)
Do you play with mods or without?
Have you reinstalled Minecraft?
