The bug

Whenever you quit the game normally using the "Quit" button (while the game is Fullscreen), the launcher crashes if the preferences are set that it should stay on while the game is running.

For me it crashes even if it's not fullscreen.

Can reproduce.

Can also reproduce the effect. I normally run the game with minimal dedicated ram, however it doesn't crash the launcher at 100% rate. One thing I've noted when it crashes, there seems to be quite the excessive spike in ram usage for a brief moment. However im not a coder so I wouldnt know where to begin looking. Perhaps this is somehow linked to the large ram usage when launching several instances of minecraft in parallel to each other then quitting out of all but one of the loaded worlds. I say this because to do such a feat, you normally end up loading the launcher several times, perhaps by accident even.

*Edit: I run windows 7 pro

Can confirm.

I get this problem too. It started happening about 1-2 weeks ago when the launcher downloaded new files for itself or something? Closing any* instance of the game crashes the launcher (I have a camera account I may only need briefly, so I launch a seperate profile set up to not interfere with the main profile and I close that one sooner because it's no longer needed and the launcher crashes (but the other game window does NOT crash)).

(Partial) debug crash menu: An unhandled win32 exception occurred in Minecraft_staging.exe [76132].
(the rest of that error just says I don't have anything that can debug it)

My PC specs:
Windows 10 Home
Intel i5-3570K CPU
32 GB Ram
2TB HD (1.28TB free/1.99TB usable)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card

*I can run 1 instance of the game or 2 and it crashes as soon as any instance is closed

Can confirm this without playing Minecraft in fullscreen mode, but having the window resolution changed to 1280x720.

I had this a few times as well, I usually don't use fullscreen mode. Window resolution is irrelevant.

It sometimes happens, sometimes it doesn't.

I can confirm this has started happening to me. I just did a fresh install of my OS. Everything else is working fine. I'm running Win 7 with sp 1. I have 64 bit java. No matter if I'm in full screen or not, or if I reinstall minecraft and use default settings, when I quit it tells me the launcher has crashed.

Just started getting this problem. It happens whenever I quit minecraft or if I try and close the Minecraft Launcher. No big nuisance, I can still play fine, just a little annoying.

I also confirm this issue. Sorry to sound like a broken record. Launcher stays open until game is closed, at which point the launcher either stops responding or closes silently after a momentary freeze up. Affects launcher when game is at default resolution, but not in built-in full screen mode(F11) or windows "full window" (clicking square icon at right of top bar)

Happens to me on a Mac as well – about 90% of the time after I close the game.

same happens to me. Windows 7 Professional, 16g ram, i5 4690 3.50 GHz cpu, NVIDIA GTX 950 gpu.

Reproduceable on Windows 7.

Windows 7 Professinal K SP1 64-bit

Core i5-4570

8GB RAM DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 4600

Happens on all versions of Minecraft

macOS 10.13.4 on iMac 21.5” late 2012.

Happens on all minecraft versions.

Same happens even on bootcamp Windows 10.

And also happens on win10 i3-3220, gtx650, 8gb ddr3.

Looks like this bug is critical.

It happens every time for me, regardless of version or whether or not it's fullscreen

I have been seeing this ever since the new launcher came out. And confirm still present in today's update. launcher 2.1.1144. I'm on macOS 10.13.5, 2016 MBP with no external monitor. But I do have "keep launcher open while game runs" and "open output log" set to yes. Here is the Apple "Problem Report" dump

@ziggurism looks similar (it's happening roughly in the same place), but not entirely the same.

Does it happen every time for you, or only sometimes?

pablete1234 2018-06-22T15:16:59Z

I can confirm the latest launcher update fixed it for me

ziggurism 2018-06-26T11:03:00Z

@Petr Only sometimes. Launched and exited 4 times successfully before crash on 5th. Seems to be more likely to happen if game session is longer.

ziggurism 2018-06-26T14:58:59Z

Another one today https://pastebin.com/jcbvgFwx. version 1.13-pre4. launcher 2.1.1144. macos 10.13.5. Exited successfully with launcher remain running 5 times or so, before crash.

petr.mrazek 2018-06-26T19:26:43Z

Ok. That's definitely a second issue. I have some ideas about what it could be caused by, but can't reproduce it myself. It is a visible when I use helgrind though.

I'll fix the issues I see using that. Please test and report if it's better in the next version of the launcher.
