Problem with launcher.

[Kian]

When I open up minecraft and login it will go to the screen with singleplayer and multyplayer, but after about five seconds it just closes...Help!

[Xeadin]

Did you try force update? It might be an issue with a conflicting mod or corrupted code.

[Kian]

Yeah it happened just after I force updated...

[Xeadin]

That's odd... try re-downloading the launcher and see if that'll work

Xeadin might be right about the launcher, but I don't think that would make minecraft itself close. You could try deleting your whole .minecraft folder (backing up screenshots/saves/stats) and totally restarting. If that fails, try updating/installing the latest java.

If that fails, try updating/installing the latest java.

Oh yeah! There is a new version of Java out. That might be the issue.

Alright Do I just type java into google to download it?

[clawstrider]

Nope, you just click me! (No clicking on dodgy google links)

[Kian]

Alright thanks guys I'll be coming on in a minute.

[Xeadin]

Glad to be of service

Let us know if there's anything else you need

[Kian]

Actually, I downloaded it and installed it and now I it take about 10 seconds to close... Java 7 isn't it?

[Tobs]

That's the latest version, yes. Are there any errors when it closes? Has anything like this happened before? It might even be a program that you have installed recently (if you have done), if so, did it do it before then or after then.

I use magic launcher, never have a single problem, plus you never even have to touch your jar, and if you want to allocate more ram its really easy

Nerve remind it's fixed now 😄
