      You cannot have '!'s in your user name / profile name, this breaks java horribly.

      This is something we cannot control or fix

      You can fix it by not having '!'s in your user name / profile name name.

      Downloaded the 1.6 launcher last night, and after the files were downloaded, I attempted to start the game. Basically, it threw a bunch of code(and since I'm not particularly learned in Java coding), I have no idea what it means, save that there was an error of some sort.

      After looking around for a while the only other players having this error are apparently on macs, which I am not; I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I've updated Java to the latest version in both 64 and 32 bit.

      Also, if it means anything, prior to the new launcher I was having the "can't connect to Minecraft.net" error, which has apparently been resolved in this launcher.
