Minecraft Forums

Sorry if this is the wrong section, but very annoyed right now.

Okay, I haven't played since I had a Windows Vista around the end of beta, then I let my youngest brother use my account to play on the mac version for a year or so before he got the Xbox version.

Now I just got a gaming PC around Christmas, and it is an Asus G73, and all the drivers are up to date since I play other games as well, the computer also runs on Windows 7 64bit. I just spend most of my day uninstalling and reinstalling Java, so right now I am getting pretty mad.


Here is the log thingy from around the time I press the play button:

Pretty much what happens is I press the Play button, then after 1-5secs the launcher appears again, I have yet to actually see the game window. I would reinstall windows at this point, but I just don't think it is worth doing that to play minecraft, plus from what I can tell it looks like a Java problem since I can't even play the Cassic version of minecraft.

Any help?

Try going to your files and type in %appdata%. Go to .minecraft and highlight all the files and delete them (if you have worlds you want to keep go to the saves file and copy the worlds you want and put them back in when your done) After this it will reinstall minecraft. This might work better than reinstalling java. Ifthis doesnt work than just look it up i guess

Maybe try allocating more memory for Minecraft? [16:01:05 INFO] says that the initial heap was to small, which I think means that there is to little memory available to play Minecraft.

You don't have to really delete all of your files, try to downgrade your Minecraft version in the launcher.

Click on "Edit profile" then you can fill the 3 boxes to play the old version or snapshots. Now click on use version, downgrade to Minecraft 1.7.2, this one is more stable.

The 1.7.9 is pretty new and could be still unstable. The first line of command say it do an half command and all other line of your code show that you're trying to load Minecraft 1.7.9, Minecraft 1.7.9 could be the problem.

He has a gaming PC he can load it as well, Minecraft don't take full of place

None of the above worked. Could it be that I am using version 7 of java?

No, I'm using the version 7 of Java too, this is not a problem due to Java, Can you post all your PC config ?

Config? I am not sure what you mean by that.

-The remaining storage on your computer
-Your processor and graphic card (there's more than one type of Asus g73 existing)

I'll probably be able to help you out with that.

how much ram you have too ?

I have 313GB of storage left. My graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870, and the processor is an Intel Core i7 CPU.

I also have 6GB of RAM.

Also if it matters I use Avast! free antivirus.

So the storage and ram is not the problem.

Some people use a technique and it walked :

1.Open the Minecraft launcher

2.In the Minecraft launcher click on "Edit Profile"

3.Find Java advanced settings and its options.

4.There's JVM argument, this is to allocate more ram to Minecraft.

5.By default it should be written -Xmx1G.

6. To allocate more ram write for example 2G at the end which mean you allocate now 2 giga-bytes instead of one.

7. to allocate less write for example 520mb at the end.

If not working, i'm out

The issue is a low amount of RAM dedicated to minecraft, this is likely a JVM setting you have changed. Luckily Minecraft allows you to override the JVM settings in the launcher. Go to Edit Profile on the 1.7.9 profile, then tick 'JVM Arguements' and in the box type
-Xmx2048M -Xms2048M
This will allocate 2GB of RAM to minecraft, which is a reasonable amount.

This is seriously going to drive me insane.. I have it set to use 4GB of RAM and it still won't work

-Xmx1024 -Xms1024

You've set your maximum and minimum heap size to 1024 bytes. On the launcher, click 'Edit profile' and uncheck the JVM arguments box, then click 'Save profile'. Then, close the launcher and install 64-bit Java from http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
By default you will now have 1GB of RAM assigned to Minecraft, which is sufficient.

Already have 64bit java... I am about to just give up..

I told you to go to 'Edit profile' and untick 'JVM Arguments', then click 'Save profile'. Furthermore, you do not have 64-bit Java installed or you have also set your executable to the wrong place (it should not be ticked in 'Edit profile').

No, I am pretty sure I installed 64-bit Java yesterday because it came up as a solution on another website.

Anyways, I just did what you said to(again), and it is still not working.

Try setting the following Java arguments (replacing anything in the box):

-Xmx1024M

Still nothing, but if I set it to version 1.5.2 it actually will open the minecraft window before closing right away, while if I do anything above that then it doesn't open the window at all.

I think I might just uninstall and give up... probably not worth it in the end.

The game is always worth to play, if you are to give up you should try to format your PC, we never know if that could walk.

Did you try to restart your PC too ?
