Minecraft Forums

I can no longer load minecraft. The launcher starts up and immediately throws an error with "Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working." I can no longer play MC. This is a Windows 7 machine, 64 bit, I have tried deleting and re-installing Java and MC. I have looked through the forum and tried a few of the fixes people suggest to no avail. Am I no longer playing MC? Anyone have useful advise?



The nativelog thinks things are fine:

Application still running, assuming all's fine.

I still use the old launcher If you want I could upload the old launcher to mediafire.

I would eb willing to try it!

If I remove the runtime folder in minecraft, and try launching, it will just download a new copy of 1.8.0_25 java. So all the time I was trying to go back to an older version of Java was wasted, Minecraft keeps its own copy handy....

Well, that didn't work out, but thanks anyway. It brought up launcher 1.6.11, and then the error is back.

This is where the JAVA error pops up again.....

I deleted the old app data and the old minecraft folder, and now version 1.8.2 is starting up. Thanks!

While I am happy it is turning on, it is completely unusable. The program is hitching and slow, and the lagginess makes it useless. I turned off fancy graphics, and tried to optimize the settings in options:video, but no improvement. ANy ideas?

Install optifine see if that helps.

Hmmm, Optifine would only work with 1.8.1 so I forced it to use that in the launcher. Made no difference at all. Anything usefull in this?
