A long time ago, in a galaxy that happens to be ours, I installed Minecraft. I played it for years, but then, suddenly, around the release of 1.10, Minecraft failed to start. When I launched the Minecraft application on OS X, something strange happened. Instead of launching like usual, a different window popped up: It said "Downloading Runtime" and had a bar jumping across. I took a picture which can be found below. After the blue line got almost to the end, usually with less than a MB left, it stopped, and, after a long time, went back to the start. This occurred three times, and then said "Unable to update the Minecraft launcher." (I also took a picture of that). I tried reinstalling it. That didn’t work, so I restored my files from the Trash. I can play Minecraft by turning WiFi off, but that prevents me from playing on servers and from updating Minecraft. Contents of the nativelog.txt and nativeUpdaterLog.txt files can be found below. nativeUpdaterLog.txt says “We need to update the java launcher!” so maybe that has something do do with the problem?
