My launcher updated to the new 2.x launcher
It did not launch with a directory path on another computer on the network
The game directory is invalid or inaccessible.
Error details: The specified path is invalid
Filename on disk: Tester
Path: \\COMPUTER-PC\Public\Minecraft\Tester
Exists: directory
Minecraft was supposed to launch with the directory specified, but the game did not launch, specified path is invalid
To replicate, create a profile with the directory path set to a determined folder on a connected computer on the network, allowing you to play your worlds on any computer on the network without coping them back and forth, as long the computer is on, and is awake.

Maybe you need to add an additional \ at the end of the path?
Can you post a screenshot of your profile setting ?
The launcher updated today and is now 2.0.774, and now the game launches, but the worlds, settings, or servers don't load. The path is then deleted in the settings. The same is with the \ at the end of the path. The game icon isn't the correct one, but any settings I change, or worlds I create are saved some were. The game sounds don't work, nor do the subtitles, even if i press F3+T. After a random amount of time the game output log will go blank. This is new behavior.
I found out that the directory for the game was
.../.minecraft/--assetsDir. If in type in something random in like 0 it will do the same thing as my path off of the computer. I don't think the new launcher recognizes paths that don't start with C:/, X:/, ect. and goes to the
.../.minecraft/--assetsDir, however the settings option becomes empty, but is then reset to the default directory .minecraft the next time I save.
The text formatting kinda messed that up and I can't find a way to overwrite it
FTFY
Another update reverted the way the launcher reacts to the odd path to the connected computer. It now just gives an error message like before.
The bug this is mark as a duplicate of is the directory of the launcher, not the directory of the game as set by the profile options as this bug is.
