I tried to open minecraft after the new update 1.73-1.74, but it wont start, in the launcher it comes play, after pressing play the green loading comes and when it finishes nothing happens.

I uninstalled the game and re download it but still the same

Any help :? Thanks in advance

I cant post it, i tried to post it here, but it takes to long then nothing happens, it just keep saying saving ur post then nothing happens

Thanks for ur help

I'm not trying to hijack anyone's thread, but this sounds pretty much what is happeing to us too. Press play, green bar scrolls accross, then nothing. Here is the copy out of the developement tab that we get.

You really do need to make a separate thread. Your problem might be similar, but it won't be identical.


Please try to paste it on http://pastebin.com/ instead, and then give us the link here.

Thanks for caring about the problem :).

It looks like something on your machine is preventing it from downloading files. Most likely, an antivirus program or a firewall.

Antivirus software sometimes makes a temporary copy of java's certificates while it scans, and that's known to cause problems.

Try disabling any such software, and try it again. In some cases, certain antivirus programs have to be totally removed, and not just disabled - so you might need to try that too.

I disabled it and it still wont launch, i wont unistall my antivirus it never did any problem to me, so am not quit sure its the problem

Try running minecraft as an administrator (right click on minecraft.exe, and click run as administrator.)
If that doesn't work, not sure on how to help, try googling "minecraft error in opening zip file"

OK, fair enough, I guess you'll never know then.

That was a tad rude and unhelpful.
