So I stopped playing 1.7 for a while just so when 1.8 came out I could feel like a noob. Now that its out I cant play it. I click on update and it stops at X% and then says server error. The main screen shows the bug fixes for 1.8 but not 1.8.1 so I thought maybe my client is bad. downloaded a new copy. Nope same thing. I deleted my .minecraft folder and still nothing. I deleted all minecrafty things and downloaded the client again and still same thing. A friend let me try using his files on my computer and when I log in is says Minecraft Update Done Loading with a partly complete loading bar. So I dont know whats wrong. When I try log into Alpha servers it gives me Connection Lost Could not verify Player Name!
I payed for this game and I better damn well be able to play it.
I too get this error, if you have a friend thats updated their minecraft game successfully, ask them to upload there bin folder to a file hosting website like I have. Hopefully will fix this by the time 1.9 is out.
