Hi Liz,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I didn't buy my mac at Best Buy, nor do I have their spyware installed. 🙂
I start 1.5.2 with the new launcher, connect to a 1.5.2 server, and the problem persists. I can then start the latest snapshot with the new launcher, connect to an ssp world, and no problems! I have tried 1.5.2 ssp on some of my old worlds and I don't get the problems, but it's repeatable with smp.
I have determined that if I run the latest release (1.5.2) the problem exists, but not in the latest snapshot.
Hi Kumasasa,
Can you wait until a few more people report that it's fixed before closing this? I see exactly one person saying it's fixed and over 100 reports of it being broken. Seems like it might be too soon to call it fixed.
I'm happy to report that my first run of this version with the new launcher appears to work for me, but I've seen this before and I need to test it again after I snooze my laptop.
Good work team!
[edit] Even happier to report that this problem has gone away for me after a couple reboots, a couple sleeps, and using an external keyboard and mouse.
Sadly, the problem persists for me.
Sadly, I have this issue with my macbook pro's built in keyboard as well. However, sometimes if I reboot 3 times and then start Minecraft, I will not have this problem. If I put my mac to sleep and wake it up, the problem returns though.
I've tried using a number of other keyboards, wired and unwired, and even a nostromo n-52 with its own set of drivers, same problem.
Hey Billy,
A bunch of us are equally frustrated but you came just in time! Both Mojang and the LWJGL crew are now aware of the problem and working on fixing it - it's no easy task. The best thing you can do now is vote up the issue at the top of this page.
I'm with you- my upgrade to a new mbp with mountain lion started this for me, and it's been months since I've been able to play. I've tried every suggestion I can find here, in the LWJGL forums, Minecraft forums, and extensive googling.
The file Shaun mentions didn't work for me, sadly, but I wish you good luck with it.
You're not the only person thinking "hey, Mojang made millions on this game, maybe they could hire some more developers to help fix these things!" but we have to remember that the problem is with software that Mojang uses, not software they created. Kudos to them for trying to help fix the problem.
...yes. ಠ_à²
At least it is for me.
Hi Chad,
I can start minecraft and even log in, but the original issue persists. I wonder if running it in a win7 vm will yield better results? Or even CentOS.
A fresh install of java6 didn't help me.
I have a long, negative history with Java, which I will keep to myself. Suffice to say, I've never felt anything but glee for deleting java. That said, I'm not kidding that other java stuff works fine, be they remote consoles to servers or what have you.
Console doesn't say squat about Minecraft, unfortunately. Console and I have become fast friends since the update to Moutain Lion, which is when this problem started for me (as well as a move to new hardware.)
I'm trying to force a java6 update by moving /System/Java to Java.bad which will hopefully restore anything.
It's possible I have some java6 remnants but I was pretty thorough about it.
You don't have to take my word for it, here's a pic of my java preferences pane: http://cl.ly/image/133D3v2i0H1d
And, java -version from the console:
IG-88:~ matthewmensch$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_09"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)
<edit> aha, I found /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java so it's entirely possible Minecraft is using that while the system is not aware of it otherwise (per the preference pane.) This was a while ago, I didn't document what I had done. It's definitely what Minecraft is using, as renaming the directory causes Minecraft to fail to start whatsoever.
java version "1.6.0_41"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_41-b02-445-11M4107)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-445, mixed mode)
So I get to the loading part, it never crashes or black-screens, it just hangs. I let it sit for 5 minutes, then I killed it.
Sadly, the problem persists despite the updated lwjgl files, probably because I don't even have java6 on my system anymore. I'll get 6 and try this again, although that puts me right back at square 1 where I started the troubleshooting.
No joy, even using the modified launcher you posted above. I can log in, but it hangs at "done loading."
No worries, Chad! I'll give this a spin and report back.
Thanks Chad! To confirm, you mean I should get 1.8.5 instead of 2.8.5? I am not seeing that on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/Official%20Releases/) , it goes from 1.1.4 to 2.0b1, so I must be looking in the wrong place.
Thanks for that, Grum. I'm looking at the procedure to update lwjgl on the wiki at http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL and I'm seeing more required files than the two included in that zip. Would you suggest I build it myself from the git repo, or is there another procedure you'd like me to try? I'd love to test this and report back, but mixing library versions is a direct route to pain so I'm not inclined to shoot from the hip here.
No, I get your point. I also know the problem is LWJGL, which I mention in posts months ago. Most of the people complaining here are clear on these points, but thanks for chiming in, and please do vote this up!
There are those among us who have tried both java 6 and 7, and ever version of lwjgl available for download. The problem persists.
Input is definitely handled by LWJGL, but Mojang and the LWJGL team will need to work together on this. Hopefully it won't take 9 months like the last time an apple update broke minecraft for a lot of users.
Mods, please reopen the ticket as this is the only way to get Mojang's attention here. It will require their help, even if it's not their code to fix.
