Minecraft Forums

Hey Everyone,

So Minecraft for working for me perfectly.
Then i installed Windows 8 and everything was reset, so there was no programs left.
Then i reinstalled java and then installed minecraft.

I opened up minecraft, logged in and it crashed.

Please help

This is my crash report:



Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

It could be smart to add the crash report in a spoiler so that those that can read that stuff can see what happened. Also i have herd of this problem before. I had problems my self to get minecraft to run on my vista.

U could try this youtube video that is a minecraft windows 8 fix.




I will add that notch have stated that he refuses to certify minecraft for windows 8.

I cant view the video

Wait i can

I'm on Windows 8 as well. But It doesn't like minecraft at all. Have to use the other computer to play minecraft.

but there are people on youtube that have minecraft on windows 8

try dowloading drivers, as it said. Personally, i like nvidia. If this does not work, please tell me and i will do more research

i had a good driver before i updated it to windows 8 but i dont know that driver was called
