As the title suggests I am stuck understanding what’s going on here and I’m pretty pissed off right now.
So I had a Minecraft world (Java) running on windows 11 and a few weeks ago I was playing for a few hours and when I came to save the game it just kept spinning and I noticed the clock on the desktop had stopped about 90 mins before and thus it corrupted my game save and I lost the world.
I was finding the motivation to play (work all day on a pc so sometimes it’s hard) as it is, and so I was reluctant to start a new world. A couple of weeks later I started a new world and put in an hour here and there. Today I’m playing again for a few hours and come to save again and low and behold the same thing happened. Now I’m too frustrated to check if this world is also dead (last time the folder was there but it never showed in game).
Any ideas what is going on here or where I can begin to investigate once I get the motivation to turn the pc on again.
The pc is a few months old. Built myself and the specs if needed are:
- Asus PRIME B550-PLUS Mobo
- 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
- Ryzen 7 5600x
- Gigabyte GeForce rtx 4060 GPU
- Nvme storage
- AIO water cooler.
As an aside temps are higher than I want. Like 60+ on load (pc) and game launch, but does settle around 45 once Minecraft is loaded in.
That is a peculiar problem I have not seen or heard f before. It doesn’t sound like it is completely freezing if it keeps letting you play the game. Just windows behind the game is freezing?
Do you play in fullscreen mode where it takes complete control over the graphics output of your monitor? I wonder if there is some driver bug that is not properly relinquishing control of the monitor to your OS when you minimize the game. If possible I’d try playing in either windowed fullscreen mode or just windowed mode next time as a test.
Also it is always worth updating your graphics drivers too.
Agreed, if the game is still playable on other machines it’s a graphics problem.
In any case, it’s java so the server should autosave and you can add mods for backups.
