", geneva, sans-serif">I haven't been playing Minecraft for well over years, but last week I missed it. However instead of blocky grasses and naked sheeps, I was greeted with crashes at launch. I don't remember very well but as long as I know it's vanilla and running at version 1.5.2. Regardless of what launcher and what version I run it crashes anyway. Here is the Crash Report:

Use separate game directories for old versions.
Thank you for your reply, but could you elaborate please? What do you mean by "Use separate game directories"?
This guide is for the old launcher, but you can also do it in the new one http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/guides/changing-game-directory/
