Everytime I try to open my minecraft on 1.8 with the launcher, it crashes. Well, it doesnt crash, it just doesn't open and goes back to the launcher. It doesn't say that it crashed, I just get a screen that says:

Someone please help, I don't know what to do

Hi,

I can't open it either. It just keeps crashing for me before it even gets to the Mojang screen. I hope somebody finds a fix soon!

I have the same problem, I have no idea what's going on. :/

All you have to do is delete the mods folder if you have one. I repeat DELETE THE MODS FOLDER.

Your not getting into 1.8? Good! Its terrible

Oh you better shut your mouth. The 1.8 update is awesome, especially for map makers, such as ME.

Lel your signature
(the old signature, it was "1.8 and middle school hate me." or something like that)

It will be fixed in 1.8.2 Hopefully

My life in a nutshell poiihy

i can't get into it either. i also tried Minecraft Factory Reset, wich deletes the .minecraft folder and all its components, but i still get that it crashed because my game may be modded, and the error report cannot be sent to Mojang. HERE IS THE REPORT

WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON HERE?????

So what I decided to try was looking at my Java argument. It had a lot of stuff in it, so I just deleted all of it. After that, I can open Minecraft in 1.8, but when I click on any of the buttons on the main screen, it stops responding.

Try reporting it in the Minecraft Bug Tracker:

WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON HERE?????

Pixel Format Not accelerated. You cannot play any version later than 1.7.2 until you update drivers or get new computer.

I think that I'm going to go try deleting Minecraft.exe and the .minecraft folder. Afterwards, I will redownload Minecraft and see if that does anything.

YES!!!!!

I found a fix for this!!!

What worked for me was deleting the .minecraft and minecraft.exe COMPLETELY, even out of the Recycle bin, then going to minecraft.net and redownloading it. It now works.

If it breaks when i try to play, I will try to find a fix for that and I will post it here.

Uno

The fix I found works, I have tried it on a randomly generated map and a quite intensive one called Simburbia.



As of now, nothing has happened other that a few frame drops.



-Uno

Hm, I hope that will work for me. I'll delete everything and re-download it. Ugh, this really sucks.

Best. Update. Ever.

Yes, it worked! If you are getting this error, just delete and re-download Minecraft.

Okay! So what I found was legitimate

I will try spreading this around the forums to help more people!
