Extra high GPU usage when window is not in focus MC 1.12.2 Forge 14.23.5.2860


Recommended Posts

Tested with 5900X, 64GB 3200 MHz, 3070 Ti, driver 551.86  Edit: Win 11 Pro, MC allocation limit 16GB
GPU clock range: 200 - 1950 MHz, usually 210 MHz with 10-30% utilisation on desktop idle use

Render settings: Vsync ON, Framerate unlimited, Render distance 32, Fullscreen ON (60hz monitor, so 60 fps with vsync)

Vanilla minecraft: Main menu: 210mhz idle clock always, ingame clock around 400 - 1000 mhz with ~30% utilisation and after alt+tab stays at same.

Modded install with curseforge app, only said forge added:
Main menu: 210 mhz idle clock always, ingame clock around 400 - 1000 mhz with ~30% utilisation, but after alt+tab gpu clock shoots up to 1950 mhz and utilisation is at 50-60%
After disabling all render and chunk related stuff in config, after alt+tab it goes up to 1500 mhz.
So game turns gpu into space heater when its not even seen. GPU usage returns to expected when game comes back on top.

If instead of unlimited fps, fps is set to ~60, then during alt+tab gpu stays at same range as vanilla, but minecraft has horrible limit logic and framerate limit causes lot of tearing, so its not an option.
So it seems that when alt+tabbing, for some reason logic no longer takes vsync toggle into account.

So expected behaviour would be for it to work like vanilla does. keep rendering in same manner, no matter if its seen and use same amount of resources.

Essentially noticed this behaviour while playing Supersymmetry and after elimination testing, result was that only Forge was enough to cause it. And also confirmed it by doing fresh pack with only Forge added, so no other mods even in disabled state.
Also happened with both singleplayer and remote multiplayer.

Other offender was "Universal Tweaks" which introduced same effect to main menu with its
# Removes the hardcoded 30 FPS limit in screens like the main menu
B:"Uncap FPS"=true

setting, meaning when game was on top, it still worked in limits of vsync cap, but after alt+tabbing even in main menu gpu usage shot up to max.

Did some more testing and found workaround.

Newest MC and Forge for it didn't have this problem, also isolated that problem is only with fullscreen, meaning there is problem with exclusive fullscreen handling when application gets moved to background/minimized.

So installing this mod fixed problem for MC 1.12.2 and forge for it https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fullscreen-windowed-borderless-for-minecraft

    • I'm using Modrinth as a launcher for a forge modpack on 1.20.1, and can't diagnose the issue on the crash log myself. Have tried repairing the Minecraft instillation as well as removing a few mods that have been problematic for me in the past to no avail. Crash log is below, if any further information is necessary let me know. Thank you! https://paste.ee/p/k6xnS
    • Hey folks. I am working on a custom "Mecha" entity (extended from LivingEntity) that the player builds up from blocks that should get modular stats depending on the used blocks. e.g. depending on what will be used for the legs, the entity will have a different jump strength. However, something unexpected is happening when trying to override a few of LivingEntity's functions and using my new own "Mecha" specific fields: instead of their actual instance-specific value, the default value is used (0f for a float, null for an object...) This is especially strange as when executing with the same entity from a point in the code specific to the mecha entity, the correct value is used. Here are some code snippets to better illustrate what I mean: /* The main Mecha class, cut down for brevity */ public class Mecha extends LivingEntity { protected float jumpMultiplier; //somewhere later during the code when spawning the entity, jumpMultiplier is set to something like 1.5f //changing the access to public didn't help @Override //Overridden from LivingEntity, this function is only used in the jumpFromGround() function, used in the aiStep() function, used in the LivingEntity tick() function protected float getJumpPower() { //something is wrong with this function //for some reason I can't correctly access the fields and methods from the instanciated entity when I am in one of those overridden protected functions. this is very annoying LogUtils.getLogger().info(String.valueOf(this.jumpMultiplier))) //will print 0f return this.jumpMultiplier * super.getJumpPower(); } //The code above does not operate properly. Written as is, the entity will not jump, and adding debug logs shows that when executing the code, the value of this.jumpMultiplier is 0f //in contrast, it will be the correct value when done here: @Override public void tick() { super.tick(); //inherited LivingEntity logic //Custom logic LogUtils.getLogger().info(String.valueOf(this.jumpMultiplier))) //will print 1.5f } } My actual code is slightly different, as the jumpMuliplier is stored in another object (so I am calling "this.legModule.getJumpPower()" instead of the float), but even using a simple float exactly like in the code above didn't help. When running my usual code, the object I try to use is found to be null instead, leading to a crash from a nullPointerException. Here is the stacktrace of said crash: The full code can be viewed here. I have found a workaround in the case of jump strength, but have already found the same problem for another parameter I want to do, and I do not understand why the code is behaving as such, and I would very much like to be able to override those methods as intended - they seemed to work just fine like that for vanilla mobs... Any clues as to what may be happening here?
    • Please delete post. Had not noticed the newest edition for 1.20.6 which resolves the issue.
    • https://paste.ee/p/GTgAV Here's my debug log, I'm on 1.18.2 with forge 40.2.4 and I just want to get it to work!! I cant find any mod names in the error part and I would like some help from the pros!! I have 203 mods at the moment.
