Minecraft Forums

Hello people of the Minecraft Forums, sorry to annoy you all with my questions but, I am having some issues with my Minecraft and have no idea what to do.

So, I get up out of bed and decide "Hey, I'm going to go play some Minecraft", but when I log in, I get this...



and this...




I've tried just about everything I can think of, a new .minecraft folder, redownloading the luncher, reinstalling Java. I'm not using any mods or some crazy texture pack so I have no idea why this would just happen out of the blue. Anyone have any ideas, please?

Sorry for the month late response, but my internet was acting up, everything should be in order now.

Now, I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but my video card is a RADEON X600 256MB HyperMemory, yes, I know it's old. Now, as for updating it, I'm a little lost, sorry for asking so many questions, but what exactly do I do?

There's the link to the latest driver. Here's some instructions by Hidinginthelight for installing it, it should be similar on all Windows versions:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Go to Device Manager (You may have to change the view of control panel to see this)
3. Expand Display Adapters by clicking on the arrow
4. Right click your graphics card and select Properties, for example, mine was named AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
5. Go to the Driver tab
6. Click Update Driver
7. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
8. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
9. Bottom right corner is a button "Have Disk" then browse to the drivers from above. (you need to extract the zip)

EDIT: It seems that this Catalyst driver supports your graphics card as well. Many people have found the Catalyst drivers to help with this problem.

So uh, I did what you said and now everything is blackscreening...

Is it a 32 or a 64-bit system? Above I gave the 32-bit link, which also links to the 64-bit version. Those seem like the latest version of the Catalyst drivers to support the X600.

Whenever I try to install it it keeps saying "Failed to initialize"

Well, sometime in January this problem magically fixed itself one morning when I decided to log into Minecraft like I did everyday just to check and it fixed itself just as inexplicably as it broke so, I thought nothing of it and continued to happily play Minecraft.

Well, a few weeks ago I opened Minecraft to chill out with some friends and it did this, again with no explanation as of why. Like before I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried the first driver update DewaldDeJager gave me and the 32 and 64 bit versions of the second one and now I just don't know what to do.

I don't know if my computer is just possessed by some evil demon or I'm just stupid but, could someone please try to help me with this problem?

P.S. I thank DewaldDeJager and Valtiel for all the help they've given me so far.

Everything you see are signs of a broken GPU.

Do you have this problem in other games?

Yes, just about all of them.
