Minecraft Forums

Hello everyone,

So my brother that is playing on a laptop running windows 8 is having an issue only when trying to play minecraft 1.6.1 or + (It is just fine with 1.5.2)

So he opens minecraft, he is logged in. He then clicks the Play button, and then bam, pitch black. There are still sounds and can still click the buttons blindly, but will remain a black screen.

He is using the latest version of the video driver for ATI Radeon HD 2300
Here is the log:

I'd really want some help on this, I want my brother to be able to play on another computer than mine.

You may need to reinstall the locally installed files that Minecraft puts into place.
To do so, press your Windows+R keys, type in %AppData% at the dialog, and press Enter. In the window that appears, open the .minecraft directory, and delete everything except for the saves directory that you see therein. Then, try running Minecraft again.
If this doesn't help, install the 13.4 beta driver: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows 8 - 64
