"I am so ready for this Launcher Transition. I've already uninstalled Flash Player. And I've for long played AQWorlds and DragonFable on launcher anyways. This just ensures that we get to play our beloved childhood memories for YEARS to come!" - AQW player, Valoth Dissidia
Since the flash is dead and and this launcher was release, i wonder how they wrap Flash player framework and the runtime int that "cage" lets say. I searched for methods to do myself, but either incomplete or not. And looks like they used C# to create it, but how?
I tried all the possible versions of JDK, the open ones and the Oracles ones but it doesn't work. Also I tried other launchers and modified versions of 1.8.9. I tried Java 8, but it doesn't work. 1.16 works at intended.
I know the launcher is usually started from a GUI menu, but you'll get more feedback if you start it from a terminal. So do that and tell us what it says.
You could also give a link to a pastebin containing the last chunk of lines from the log after the game crashes. That might be helpful.
A few things I would think to try looking into:
Are you using mods?
Is it just version 1.8.9? Download another version and try it.
There are multiple Minecraft Launchers in the AUR. Which one are you using?
Have you updated your computer? Have you updated the launcher specifically?
Are you by chance out of space on your partition? I had a similar thing happen to me once and the cause was a lack of HDD space.
I tried Java 7 as well. It just says Game Crashed nothing more. I've started minecraft-launcher from the terminal and it didn't print something unusual. I went and I am reading that every time it crashes.
I posted the content of the log there:
I deleted all the other versions of Java, only kept Java 7.
i was trying to update my macbook air and it said that epic games launcher wouldn't close. i went and tried to force quit it, and it still wouldn't quit. not sure what to do now! advice would be appreciated, thanks!
