Minecraft Forums

Okay, so I recently had an issue with my computer and had to get it wiped. I just downloaded Minecraft again and now I can't go on Minecraft. When I login, I can either update or not now. If I update, it says "Failed to launch" in big letters on the centre top of the screen, and in the centre of the screen in smaller letters it says "Fatal error occured (4): null" (I would provide a picture but imgur is down at the moment.) If I choose not to update, the loading screen gets to about 90% done and freezes.

Any help or suggestions?

Delete bin folder.

That's the thing, I just got my computer wiped and I had to redownload Minecraft. I have no bin folder.

Go to appdata and delete your .minecraft. If you dont know how to locate your appdata search it on google. This will help if you have windows

Sko is right, delete the bin folder. I did (and I am on a Mac), and it worked fine!!!

This happened to me. I tried deleting it and downloading it a bunch of times. It still says it! Does that mean I have to turn of the firewall?

OK... I have been having the same problem with the minecraft 1.6 update and it says that same error! I have a pc, i tried re downloading it and it didn't work! HELP MEE!!!!
NEED HORSES!!!

when does 1.6 come out?Try running as adminsitrator on your computer, turn all firewalls off/virus protection,and delete .minecraft
