 Description   

Apple released an SMC update (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/03/14/apple-releases-retina-macbook-pro-smc-update-to-address-gaming-frame-rates-and-fan-issues/) for Macbook Pro Retina laptops this week that was supposed to fix some issues relating to performance of video games & some fan stuff. This morning I hopped on my Minecraft server with no issues for a bit. Then, a few hours later when I got into work, I performed the SMC update. After it was done I decided to see how Minecraft looked afterwards.

Right now it launches, gets to the login screen, accepts my credentials.. then I see the loading screen (with the green bar) flash very briefly before the screen goes black. I tried launching it from the command line to see if any exceptions were being thrown or anything, and this is all I see:

  1. java -d64 -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -cp ./minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
    asdf
    229 recipes
    27 achievements

    (Session ID is xxxx)
    2013-03-15 11:17:11 [CLIENT] [INFO] LWJGL Version: 2.4.2

#########

(I removed the Session ID because I'm not sure if that's sensitive or not, but it was along string - looked perhaps like a UUID).

Anyway, not sure what is going on. I've forced an update, and that completed successfully, but it then goes to the black screen. Is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot this? Thanks!
