Not sure of a better place to ask this but wondering how to figure out why Windows 11 freezes mid game? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Use a third party launcher like ATLauncher to be able to see the logs of what is going on. To me it sounds like there is too much going on. My game does a similar thing when I regenerate more than 5 chunks with worldedit. It seems like the game is playing normally but it is quietly getting slower and slower until it crashes and disappears all of you progress.

Try adjusting your allocated RAM to 8+ GB and get a 3rd part launcher so you can see what it is that bugs the game out.

I’m not sure what game compatibility with Linux is but.. I just rather download a game and play it instead of fucking around with CLI commands to get WINE or whatever garbage has to be run in order to play video games. But that’s just me. I know better than to ignore someone’s entire question just to suggest what I want.

    I don’t actually think it’s the game that crashed though, more windows crashed and that prevents me saving, but when I try to save it corrupts the file.

    I will have a look into the third party launchers though to cover all bases.

    I am with you on I just want to install and play. I’m a nerd but I don’t have time to be a Linux nerd as well as an MC nerd too.

    I’m glad you’re considerate enough to not just post a comment about hurr durr don’t use windows (as it really does help with this situation).

    Well it absolutely lagged my pc in realtime and made anything inaccessible, even opening task manager was not an option. Cause your PC is hella beefy, it’s really odd that it’s doing that on Vanilla.

    With steam and proton, setup on Linux is rather simple and it works as well as windows for most of the time. And I hardly know anything about Linux, except I get 25 to 40% more performance in almost every game

    Also if you are playing FTB… for some absolutely insane reason they added a crouch to quick farm option that is basically cheating bonemeal. This mod crashes the game whenever you crouch near any farmable objects.
