Yeah, no progress for the same issues with Win 8.1 as well, well other than one Mod suggesting upgrading to Win 10 to see if that "helps". He even included links to upgrade to Win 10 or 11.
Upgrade my operating system just to play minecraft?? Yeah, that's not going to happen.
Got an update on this?
Its my understanding that the Java you have on your device/computer is irrelevant because the installer has the Java required to run as part of the install package.
Once Microsoft got their hands on this I too got worried. They tend to drop support for older versions with updates FORCING you to update to their latest software. I am running Win 8.1 on a PC. From several help replies I have been given trouble shooting for Win 10/11 even though I specifically told them I was running Win 8.1.......that's not very promising.....LOL
Same exact issue on Win 8.1 but mine crashes at 100% world load in 1.18. I can still play 1.17.1 flawlessly.
I don't think these "bug" sites know totally what they are doing nor the email Minecraft Help sites.
They all blame Java or The launcher or the Microsoft Store or even The Xbox app (of which I never even downloaded) and once I reply I have looked at all that and none of their silly repetitive trouble shooting helps they all of a sudden become silent and quit replying.
Image included of the crash, The "crash report" listed there doesn't seem to be saved anywhere.
An image of what's in the crash report file.
The only crash reports in that file are from 6/2017?
The latest Log from the logs folder.
Launcher Log txt attached.
Sanjiv: How odd....I had been running Minecraft 1.17 perfectly fine while my PC has Java 8.........infact when at the java site it has Java 8.331 as the current downloadable version and only offers java 8.
Same exact problem. Running Win 8.1 and Java. It ran perfectly well at 1.17 but with todays update to 1.18 it instantly crashes at 100% of any loaded world both old and new. Worked with some 'expert" and re-downloaded launcher multiple times to no avail. Re-downloaded launcher for 7/8 several times and each time once I choose my world to play when it reaches 100% it crashes and it goes back to launcher.
On Win 8.1 and the exact issue as well. It crashes at 100% world load.
I was just instructed by this place to go elsewhere as the issue is a technical issue and not a bug and they closed my report. They literally said "they don't have the manpower or time to work on technical issues" and closed my report MC-244766 as resolved, yeah, RESOLVED. This isn't mojang anymore this is Microsoft. I honestly believe they went the microsoft way of "releasing software that won't work on older windows machines and a required upgrade to Win 10 or 11 is the only way to go. That's just how Microsoft does things I guess. Not sure about you Mac guys but I don't believe this is any priority to them in the least.
1.17.1 still works. Not planning on buying a whole new system or paying for an upgrade from Win 8.1 just to play one game.
