I recently downloaded Minecraft.exe a while ago and was running fine up to a certain point. I logged in, selected Single Player, created a bew world and it was loading saying Building Terrain when suddenly I was at the main menu again. I tried to play again so I clicked Single Player and noticed the map was now selectable so I clicked it and pressed Play Selected World. Same thing happened where it would start loading saying it was Building Terrain when it would kick me to the main menu again. I then deleted my Minecraft folder and tried downloading it again only to get the above mentioned problems. I assume this means it is my computer and not Minecraft itself.
I did read the "Read this before posting" thread and was able to follow its instructions except for getting a DxDiag log. When I opened up the thread in a new tab, my computer was suddenly bogged down to the point that I couldn't do anything. I opened task manager and took a screenshot which I will provide below of how Internet Explorer was hitting 90+ CPU Usage with this tab opened. I will try to the best of my abilities to provide my computer specs though. If you have need of any further information, please let me know and possibly a brief explanation of how to obtain it as I am not the best when it comes to computer knowledge.
I am not certain why this is happening, my computer can WoW fine granted at only 10 to 15 FPS. I do intend to increase my RAM from two half gig sticks to a gig and a half and my buddy is trying to find me a graphics cards to put in there as well.
I see nothing in the log that would suggest a crash. Did you try just letting the game stay at the main menu and see if it redirects you in game? Sometimes it happens to me too, granted it would show the main menu for a few milliseconds then jump right back ingame.
To obtain a DxDiag log,
1. Press Win (Windows Key) + R
2. Type in dxdiag in the text area of the popup
3. Press enter, and if prompted about verifying WHQL, select Yes.
If you are on a 64-bit machine, click on “Run 64-bit DxDiag”
If not, then continue on
4. Wait for the green bar to finish loading.
5. Click on “Save All Information” and save the file to your Desktop for the sake of convenience
6. Show us the contents of the file via http://pastebin.com.
I would recommend most other popular browsers instead of Internet Explorer for a better web experience. Try firefox or chrome.
Alright, thanks for adapting to my inability to view the thread. And I have tried Chrome but for whatever reason when I open the browser it simply doesn't load no matter how long I wait. I've been a huge fan of Firefox but have never gotten around to downloading it. This computer is a hand-me-down from a friend.
And again, I don't see anything that would relate to a crash according to your screenshot earlier, and your system specs does not point towards anything that may be causing the issue.
Alright, I had successfully installed the drivers and restarted my PC. However, I attempted to load my world again but same issue happened and sent me back to the main menu.
However before posting here, I went and quickly checked another problem I was having where Youtube videos would be skippy and laggy and they run a lot smoother now. So even if we are unable to get Minecraft working, I can still thank you for that.
Anymore ideas? I know it is beyond outdated so I wouldn't be surprised if Minecraft ins't compatible with it.
Not sure what you mean by halve the graphics acceleration but when I pull up the window, this is what I see. Also, instead of just letting the log catch the crash report, I just mazimized the command prompt so you can see what is going on.
---This is before I started the world---
---And this is what is shown in the prompt after it returns to the main menu---
If that machine is running XP then to get to hardware acceleration you can right click your desktop>properties>settings tab>advanced>troubleshoot tab>slide the hardware acceleration slider to the left 3 notches.
Alright, I followed your instructions and found the Hardware Acceloration. I moved the slider over threes times and clicked Apply. The screen when black for about a second and then I pressed Okay and Okay on the other window. I got the same results and was kicked back to the main menu as it was Building Terrain. Just to make sure, I took a screenshot of what the slider said so you can tell me if it is on the correct setting.
No worries, thanks for the suggestion though. Seems my machine just is unable to run it. I am hoping for more support though, I am open to any suggestions. Although I am not good with computers anymore, it does seem to be more issued toward a software problem rendering the game. In my opinion, the reason why the game quits loading and just sends me to the main menu is due to some sort of compatibility problems.
I am sure the support moderators could give a more clear and precise explaination as to what is happening but this is just my thoughts.
Your issue is most like due to the fact that your integrated graphics is very old and no longer supported by Intel so the drivers are not supporting features that minecraft is using. Not sure if your computer is a laptop or a desktop, but if it is a desktop, try and scrounge up a video card you can put in to hopefully solve the issue.
That's the problem, money is a bit of an issue XD My buddy who gave me the desktop is trying to find a free one he can give me. But I am still here checking the forum in case of any more ideas pop up.
I figured that might be the case, I noticed another thread of someone having this trouble too although his is happening after a year so I've been watching that thread. Not sure how I feel with running a third party program of an OS but I really would like to play Minecraft so I may give it a try. I understand that hardware issues, and some software relating to hardware, are issues that the support staff cannot fix. Still rather disappointing as the player not to be able to play the game.
Would it be possible then to download an older client of the game that may possibly run on my old hunk of junk? Doesn't have to have anything fancy as long as I can play Survival mode, lol.
You can use THIS I believe. It is only updated to work with 1.4.6, however it appears you can download the 1.4.6 jar and get it to work again by following these instructions:
1. Use this link http://assets.minecr...6/minecraft.jar
2. Wait for the download
3. Go to Start, search programs and files, then type in %appdata%
4. Click on roaming, then locate the .minecraft folder. Go inside that folder then go in bin
5. Delete your old minecraft.jar (for me it displays as just minecraft, but don't be confused)
6. Replace your deleted minecraft.jar with the one you downloaded
7. Extract Mcnostalgia anywhere. (open the .zip, open the folder inside it, then drag it all in a new folder, if you can't figure out how)
8. Run the program

I have had the same problem, after you enter your world (if it doesn't send you back) open to LAN even if you're just playing by yourself. I found it works for me. good luck

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

I know the rules say I only have to wait 12 hours but personally I would rather wait a full day.
Chrome isn't that great and especially on an old PC
Hey everyone, I'm back!
Good luck!
