Rendering issue on Windows 11

Post by Pot_Tx »

Recently I got a new laptop with Windows 11 OS. I launched BTW CE 2.0.4 on it and encountered a problem: Whenever I hold any items in hand, the rendering of blocks begins to act weird like the image below.

Btw the hardwares of the laptop:

Are there any ways to solve this? I have expected the new system to conflict with a game version this old, but laptops with older OS are too rare to find. My 11-year-old Win7 computer has just broken, it would be sad if I can't play BTW anymore...

It seems Minecraft is using the integrated gpu and not the nvidia. Cause this is a bug on new Intel drivers. So in theory a downgrade of the Intel drivers helps, but first try and check that Minecraft is using nvidia gpu :)

Thank you very much! By switching the higher prioritiy of GPU usage to Nvidia the problem has been solved.

Can I ask you how you solved this specifically? I haven't been able to play on my laptop because of this :(

The issue is caused by some of the more recent intel integrated GPU drivers. If you have a dedicated GPU, make sure MC is running on it. If you don't, you need to downgrade your drivers.

Thank you, I think this is my exact problem. I have integrated graphics on my laptop.

Now I am searching around Intel's website trying to figure out how to download legacy versions of the graphics drivers.

In case anyone is having this issue and isn't sure where to go:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en ... ivers.html

This is the link to old versions of Intel integrated drivers. I downloaded a driver from 2021 (linked) and it fixed the issue on my laptop. If it doesn't work the first time, do it again. I had to do it twice, for some reason it didn't properly downgrade the first time.

I recorded my fix process, but I am still searching for the time and energy to edit and upload the tutorial. For now, just try to downgrade the drivers. OR if you have a graphics card, make sure your computer is using the GPU graphics and not the integrated graphics on your processor.
