Hello, I have been unable to launch the latest version of Minecraft (1.21.8) and the latest snapshot using my AMD rx 7600 xt 16gb. The game will run in the background according to task manager and Minecraft launcher says it is running as well, but no game window appears. With my old nvidia GTX 1050 pc the game WILL open. The AMD card CAN play 1.21.0 and 1.20. Other users on the server i play report similar issues with their AMD graphics cards. I reinstalled the game 3 times with the same result each time. AMD driver version: 32.0.21013.1000, date 5/26/2025. Reproduce the issue: Use an amd rx 7600 xt 16gb or other graphics cards the community cannot launch the game on. Specifications of the AMD pc: 7600 xt 16gb, 32gb ddr5, r7 9800x3d, b650 mobo, 2tb m.2 pcie gen 4. Nvidia pc that COULD run the game: gtx 1050 2GB, r5 4500, 16gb ddr4, 256gb/1tb sata SSDS (2), b450

This issue is caused by MSI Afterburner running in the background. Closing the program should allow you to launch the game.
