Minecraft Forums

So I have had minecraft for a few years on my computer, I havn't had the internet for a few months, and minecraft was working, then when the internet turned back on, my launcher opens up, the Mojang ad pops up, and then it goes back to the log in page. So I thought I would delete minecraft off my computer, and then download it again, and that didn't work either, it still wont work :/ And my son is really upset, I seemed to of deleted everything for nothing, but he wont hate forever if I can fix it thanks so much if you can help.

I'm honestly not sure if I am understanding the problem you are having correctly. If what I say is nothing to do with your problem, which I'm assuming is an ability to play the game, please just correct me and I'll assist in whatever way I can.

Onto the issue (I assume is) at hand...

First of all, I'm assuming you have a premium Minecraft account. If so, you can log in to minecraft.net with your account credentials and use the download page to replace the deleted game files.

If you do not have a premium account, you would need to purchase one, then follow the above instructions.

In case you have issues logging in when you get to minecraft.net, see if this helps:

You should try logging into minecraft.net (use your email, not your 'nickname'), if you haven't done that yet. If you can get into the site fine, but it's still informing you of a username/password error try resetting your password here.

If you can't access the website either, it is most likely a connection issue. Check if any servers are down (I use help.mojang.com). They don't look to be having any issues currently, so it could be a connection issue on your/your ISP's side. Try again in half an hour to an hour and half if this is the case.

Sorry for not being very clear your right, we are not able to play the game, and I did everything you said to do, before I asked for help on this forum. And this didn't work. It's so wierd everything work fine until the internet got turned on. So instead of the the game loading, it just opens back up to the Minecraft news page were you hit the play button .

I think I replyed in the wrong place, sorry..

I still have the problem.. things I've tried are,
*Restored my computer to a later date, I was thinking it may have been some new update that's preventing minecraft from opening.
* went to properties on the minecraft download icon, and unblocked permissions.
* deleted and re downloaded minecraft , lost count on how many times I've done that .
It's seems like that should have worked, right... this is so frustrating

I don't know what I'm doing, so if anyone has any ideas, anything.. please let me know.
Thank you

After it fails and goes back to the launcher, click on "Development console". Copy and paste all of that here.

Ok, here it is.

Quote from A_Herb

It's not a java issue.

It's a problem with your graphics card or driver.

Make sure you have the latest graphics driver *from the official website*. (Links: AMD, Nvidia, Intel)

If you're not sure what card you have, get a DxDiag.

If you have an old graphics card, it might not be able to play the latest version. Especially if it's "integrated graphics" (ie, part of the motherboard). Especially "Intel Graphics Accelerator". You might be able to get it working with a different driver, but if not, the only options are to play an older version or upgrade your graphics card. The latest version uses different OpenGL features, and some cards just can't handle it.

You can play older versions from the launcher, by using "Edit profile" and "Use version".

Thank you! It's awesome that you took the time to help

mine just says "faild to write core dump. minidumps are not enabled by defult on client versions of windows"
