I can't seem to play Minecraft 1.9! The highest snapshot update I can play is 16w04a. If I play any further snapshots, or even the official release, and then click Play, it just doesn't do anything at all, no matter how many times I click it! I'm using the 1.6.48 launcher, so is it the launcher update? It would be greatly appreciated if I could get any help!

Also sometimes if I open a minecraft world, it just goes to this message:

Phew you got me with the video

What does the Launcher Log say? Do you see a progress bar when you click Play?

Also, The current launcher ver. is 1.6.61 so you may wanna get the most recent one

I don't know how to update the launcher.

This may be some sad news for you http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/references/intel-4-series-chipsets/

What are your specs? Copy and paste or screenshot them from the "dxdiag" tool. If you're on Win7 or higher, simply press "Home", type in "dxdiag" and a window should pop up.

If in doubt...

Also, are all your drivers up to date? Post your specs and I'll try to guide you further on

I don't know how to update the launcher.

Wherever your Minecraft.exe is, there could also be a folder named "game" and "runtime". Delete the contents of the "game" folder. By that I mean delete "launcher.jar" inside of the "game" folder and run Minecraft.exe. It should then update itself.

Sometimes if I play Minecraft, the game freezes and I get the following message:

"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"

That can also be an issue sometimes.

I hope you can help me with that!

You still didn't tell me what your hardware is. Please do the following and snap two pictures like I did below. Then I can guide you based on what kind of hardware you're using.

I've had the "Display driver stopped reposnding" pop up earlier myself due to outdated drivers.

This is an ancient crash caused by broken AMD video drivers.

So should I update the driver?
