I am trying to log into the game from the new launcher and it keeps saying it cant connect. Its at least giving me the chance to play offline or try again. But I want to update to 1.3 and stuff. Is the server still down?
Im getting this problem also... the old launcher isnt working for me either sooo as i feared we have to wait until Tomorrow ( most likely 4hrs until this gets fixed) Hopefully. . . . . . .
Servers went down shortly after update.. i can only assume due to high server load because of new update.. then they got things going again.. now in the past hour or so the servers seem to have gone down again.. playing offline is the only option at this time it seems.
i like many others forgot to back up the old minecraft launcher exe.. not sure that you can download it from minecraft.net.. i dont think so.
I had this problem, deleted my .minecraft and redownloaded with the old launcher and everything started working fine. If anyone needs I can send a compressed file of the old launcher through email.
If you can't even play off-line, log in to Minecraft.net, open the game on the browser, let it download, then you should be able to play normally on your computer.
Note: that's the solution if you want to play off-line, not connect to the server.
The SSL login URL used by the new launcher is throwing an HTTP 500 error. That means the login application is throwing an uncaught exemption… crashing, basically. Old launchers work because they use the old, insecure login URL. My guess is that we won't see a fix for this until tomorrow.
i had logged in on the browser version for about ten mins, then when i grabbed wood out of a chest it locked me out. when i went back in, my whole save was gone. i am so p.o.ed right now!
It won't even allow me to play offline. I formatted my PC a couple of days ago and download MC today and nothing. Can't connect, or play offline. All it says is "Try Again".
Hopefully they are able to fix it when folks wake up in Sweden. :sad.gif:

This is complete ****. I am getting angry I payed for this ****.

Edit: I take that back. It looks like Tobias is working on it. http://twitter.com/#!/mollstam/status/40267013481955328
Edit 2: SSL login is functioning again.
