As far as I can tell, it's org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.glGenLists which is the culprit, mostly on intel cards. Anyone fancy making a smaller test program to try and replicate the issue?
For what it's worth:
barney@pine ~ $ dpkg -s libgl1-mesa-glx | grep Version
Version: 9.0.3-0ubuntu0.4
I am also affected. Using integrated Intel graphics.
barney@pine ~ $ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 9.0.3
barney@pine ~ $ java -version
java version "1.7.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_40-b43)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b56, mixed mode)
Could this bug be reassigned? I think Dan Frisk is busy working on MCPE
Kane, this is related to the GS4 Query handler and not the RCON handler. Don't conflate the two.
This bug affects a variety of graphics cards and drivers, including many modern ones. AFAIK minecraft is the first and only game to die on this bug. I've been playing since alpha and it's going to suck having to stop playing over a bug that's been marked as "invalid" despite its cause not being determined. You can't reasonably say "it's your graphic drivers" if it affects a range of drivers :/
I'm happy to provide a VNC or SSH service to a mojang developer if they want to investigate this further.
