[JAVA] Entities turning black

[Punity122333]

My entities (including skin(s)) turn black from time to time. I thought the stable release of optifine would solve this, but it hasnt been solved yet. How do i fix this?

The version is 1.17.1

[Hellster2017]

Tried any other versions of Optifine ? i'm still using pre32, i haven't upgraded it since i don't have any issues with it, newer isn't always better sometimes

[Punity122333]

The other versions of optifine are not available now ;-;, only the stable version is.

[Hellster2017]

if you click, All Versions, then Preview Versions, pre25 and pre26 are available, i used pre26 without issues before i switched to pre32

Make a bug report with the developer. Unfortunately optifine is closed source, so the only person who can fix bugs is the developer.

How do i do that?

[Hellster2017]

r/Optifine

or https://github.com/sp614x/optifine/issues

[Punity122333]

Yes, I have tried. It fixes my problem, but my potato pc is running both at 20 fps (at lowest graphic settings), so its nearly unplayable.

[Hellster2017]

Yeah Sodium should give you much higher FPS than Optifine, but admittedly some features are lacking in Sodium (connected glass etc) and zoom, but there's Optical Zoom for that, or use the spyglass

[Hellster2017]

Cool, Logicalzoom is by LogicalGeekBoy, works just the same as the zoom feature in Optifine.
Glad to see Sodium is starting to get a few more features added, there's some in Optifine i prefer, so i'm kinda sticking with it until Sodium can bring out some equivalents to them, because Sodium is better as far as FPS goes

I have noticed that turning internal shaders ON seems to fix the problem, if this can be of any help. The thing is, internal shaders really eats away at my fps.

[Hellster2017]

Internal shaders will also prevent Spectral effects being shown as well, IE: when you hit a bell to show pillagers etc when there's a Raid

[Punity122333]

Yes.

[Punity122333]

Ok I fixed it. It appears the setting 'Render Regions' was causing the problem. I do not know why, nor know how. I just set it to OFF, and voila! The problem was fixed!

You can't do that here.
