Whenever I try to open older Minecraft versions after Beta 1.8.1 and before Release 1.8, either the textures don't render (I assume because of my gpu) or it crashes entirely. The attachment image is when I tried to open Minecraft version 1.3.1.

While creating this issue I couldn't find the versions mentioned in the "Affects Version/s" section. I had to put the wrong version since there wasn't any other reasonable option.
