Minecraft Forums

Today we have bought minecraft on the pc. Everything went well with installing the game, now the only problem is playing the game, when i try playing it, it crashes, I tried everything, and the official website said this website will help me.

We need the crash log or some other form of crash identification (such as the launcher log) to diagnose your problem, see this page for information on how to get these logs and share them with us.

How do i change my settings ?

or where do I go to update my RAM?

I can't find the options, I only see update notes, launcher log, profile editor, and edit profile that's all I can find.

when i pressed the play it downloads then it crashes here's what it said...

Try to update your video card.

I try updating it and I did what the official website said to update it, and it didn't work.

It looks like you're using a laptop, unfortunately it's not powerful enough to run minecraft.

It has a 1.3GHZ cpu, you'll need a 2.0GHZ or better

It has 1GB RAM, this may be enough for vanilla Minecraft, but not with mods, you'll need 2 to 4 GB minimum

The video card is too old and only support OpenGL 1.4, while Minecraft requires OpenGL 2.1,

that is org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated refers too

You can find Minecraft's system requirements here

So I bought minecraft and tried to fix it only to learn that my computer can't run it!

At the moment, yes, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
You could investigate upgrading the memory and video card, but the cpu
will still hold the game back.
I got Minecraft when It was still in Alpha and played it on a pc with a 1.6 GHZ cpu and 1GB ram
but i was limited on what mods and how many I could use.

Try to play one of the older versions such is 1.7.2 or even 1.6.4

okay i will try it.

You cannot get a refund from Mojang if your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements, as per their refund policy. Also, dd_awesome, unless you have another graphics card in your computer that Minecraft isn't utilizing, your Intel graphics chipset will not run versions of Minecraft past 1.7.2 due to Intel releasing broken drivers. If the computer is a desktop, you may be able to get a new graphics card, although if the desktop is very old/your computer is a laptop, you need to use another computer. See here for more details.

thank you for telling me this, I still feel sad that I didn't check to make sure that I have a computer that can run it . But I at least have PlayStation 3 version.
