I have deleted everything under both saves/ and stats/ directories. Does not seem to have helped.

Today was particularly uncooperative, took 27 tries to get the game to launch. Usually it's only in the single digits.

So I located the stats_unsent files under .minecraft/stats/, they have a modification date of August 2013. Removed them but the issue still occurs.

I still think this has to be some sort of race condition - there is nothing different the third (or sixth) time I launch the game that would make it start up when it failed all the times before that.

Also, I don't see the point of creating the file only to delete it.

I mostly play multiplayer. Loading up one of my single player worlds into 1.7.9, it added a stats folder, but I'm not sure how this helps. The problem occurs before the game even shows the Mojang splash.

I did not realize it was a duplicate when I opened it.

Log output from this event:

This seems to be a duplicate of MC-36883.

I'm not sure how to use this workaround - my minecraft installation has no stats subdirectories under any of the directories under "saves".

I have been getting a similar issue. However, if I hit the play button again after the game crashes back to the launcher, eventually it will start up without crashing. I have provided the log from the launcher here with two failed attempts to start the game, with the profile set to use 1.7.4.
