Minecraft Forums

So i have this issue, i've had it since December 27 around, i can't play minecraft, because the launcher crashes as soon as i click "Play"

it doesn't even reach the mojang screen, its been this way for days now, i don't know why, So, any solutions or info? Maybe some help would be very much appreciated.

Use the old launcher.

Alright i'll try to get a hold of it

It didn't work the old one crashes too

Post the crash report.

I'll try running the output log while i try to launch it.

however this is what i get:
