This isn't a minor bug because a minor bug is a bug where a simple workaround is possible. There is no workaround here.
For some reason I am not getting the bug anymore, I'm now running the latest nVidia Beta driver 310.70, didn't update Java or something else.
I have tried Java 6, there was no difference.
I have re-installed Java multiple times, it doesn't make any difference. But I'm not having the problem with Tekkit.
@Adam I would like to do that too if they pay the expenses. The trip isn't much (Brussels -> Paris), lol.
@Adam Dalgeish Yes, I am getting that bug. I quit a server and click on Multiplayer and the game crashes.
@Kondrik I'm running the latest nVidia Beta Driver and didn't update my other drivers since I bought my pc.
I found out that when I play Tekkit the bug doesn't appear.
My manufacturer is Hewlett Packard (HP) but I changed the GPU to nVidia GTX560 and I was having the issues with Minecraft before I changed my GPU. I'm also running the latest beta build (310.33) nVidia GeForce.
I have updated to Windows 8 Pro, still the same issue.
It isn't in every 64-bit system though, my brother hasn't come across it yet and he got the same operating system then I do. Maybe something with the drivers but I doubt it, well here are my specs in case it may help:
CPU: Intel i7-2600 @ 3.4GHz (http://ark.intel.com/products/52213)
Memory: 8Gb DDR3 RAM
DirectX: 11
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 560
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Java: 64 and 32-bit Java 7 update 9 and JDK 7 update 9
Anything else needed?
I'm also getting this and because of this I am unable of playing the game like I used to. This bug started in 1.3 and became very annoying, since then I haven't been playing the game anymore. The launcher doesn't matter, .bat file, MagicLauncher, default launcher, all the same.
Java version: 1.7 Update 9
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I tried everything this guy did multiple times and no difference. Please give this some attention!
Also give this a higher priority!
Same, don't have the problem when I uninstalled it. Weird!
