@xoagray Hence why I said I might stop playing it on the VM. The thing is, though, that I need to solve this problem because it happens all the same when I want to use software like Affinity Designer.

Well, I won't keep playing Minecraft on my Windows VM if the RAM problem persists. Having to reboot the computer to free up the RAM every 30 minutes is kind of a pain.
I'm now using the VM just how I did it like, uh... 5 years ago or so? With Synergy (now Deskflow)

Ah, I remember why I didn't play Minecraft with this setup. It's unplayable because the camera speed is like 1000x for some reason :woozy_baa: But at least I don't have to worry about my art projects anymore

Got that solved as well. Now the only downside compared to looking-glass is that I can't view the VM through a window anymore which I can just hide when I need to do something on the host.

The thread says to use the OpenGL renderer. I tried it and it does fix the memory issue, but there's lots of lagging instead. Makes sense that it's very noticeable at 4K.

@krutonium Listen, if I have a GPU that can handle shaders at high settings, I'm not going to run the game on the potato GPU

The problem has apparently been introduced by a commit in Mesa which says:
> gallium: de-pointerize pipe_surface
this allows eliminating surface refcounting and objects which, relatively speaking, don't serve much purpose
That clearly worked out well. :neofox_googly_woozy:
