Hi! Could you please share your PC specifications? Things like the CPU and GPU.

Gladly! I’ll add it here, but let me know if I need to add it to the official bug report

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! It's an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, as expected. This issue is currently under investigation (see MC-297883 for more information). I’ll escalate this to Mojang and we’ll decide on the next steps. Thanks again for the quick response!

It would also be great if you could stay available in case there are any additional follow-ups from Mojang.

Happy to help! I’ll keep an eye on my notifications in case any further steps are requested!

Hi! Can you please attach the crash report generated when the game crashes? You will find it in a crash-report subfolder of the game’s folder.

Just checked my .minecraft folder and I am not seeing any Crash Reports (or even a crash reports folder) generated after the crash

Hey @Jupiter Huckle Are you on the latest (25.6.1) driver?

Just updated to the lastest driver and it still crashes after start-up

Still not working, AMD Software 25.6.1 AMD Radeon RX 6600 12th Gen Intel Core i3 12100F

Thank you for confirming that you are still experiencing this issue! It seems like there have been two separate issues with crashes on AMD graphics cards. The one fixed in the Release Candidate 2 we will keep tracked in this bug, and track the issues you are still experiencing in MC-299144.
