Board Thread:LotR Mod Technical Support/@comment-26388208-20150511000009

Apologies if this is a repeat, but I read the FAQ and searched the forum and found nothing similar except for the "Ring Portal issues" bug report which seems to be unrelated to my problem.

I use 8 gold nuggets to create a gold ring, then throw [q] the ring into a lava source block or a fire (tried both). Nothing happens. Sometimes the ring is ejected from the lava, while other times it disappears, but there is no explosion and no portal created.

Have tried this in both Survival and Creative. I am running Forge 1.7.10-10.13.3.1370-1.7.10 (yes, MC 1.7.10 as well), though I am presently trying to get the newest Forge release. Using LOTR Beta 23.3. *No* Optifine and no other mods active except for Forge itself. I will try to provide any other information if requested.

I am running an older machine without OpenGL 1.4 support (Intel 945GM non-GPU video), but Minecraft otherwise works by reverting to 1.3 features and I simply turn everything down to near-minimum. I do sometimes experience out-of-memory crashes in the LOTR Overworld, but infrequently and only when changing video settings during gameplay.
