bump

someone please help:(

My only suggestion is to delete your .minecraft folder in your %appdata%\roaming and rerun the launcher.

I had the same issue where I couldn't even load up Minecraft 1.8.

Here's a small suggestion, might work and might not. Go here: https://optifine.net/downloads

And install a 1.8 version of OptiFine. Any version. As long as it's under the 1.8 tab. Don't worry, there's no viruses at all. I have it and it works great for my 1.8. Good luck!

I'll include a picture to prove that the link/download is no scam.

You sir, are beautiful. Thank you so much

No problem buddy! Glad it works!
