 Description   

Game starts up, I click 'Login', it asks me if I want to update, I say 'Not Now' since this is my beta testing setup. The screen puts up the Mojang logo, then goes to full screen mode and puts up the dirt background.

Then a long pause...
Then a crash.

This is the same issue I experienced with 13W02a.

I just tried a completely clean installation, which I promptly upgraded to 13W02a, and had the same experience.

if you get it, mc will work

Comment by Joseph Knight [ 20/Mar/13 ]

You do not need to update to 10.6.8 if you get the pre-release. It works perfectly on 10.5.8. Thank you Mojang folks!!! :~)

YOU NEED TO UPDATE IT TO 10.6.8

Comment by Kumasasa [ 19/Mar/13 ]

If you can't wait, get the prerelease: http://mojang.com/2013/03/minecraft-1-5-1-pre-release/

Same problem. Just hope 1.5.1. gets out soon.

Comment by Lexi Hougaard [ 16/Mar/13 ]

Same problem

Comment by P M [ 16/Mar/13 ]

Watch it.... ancient crap has feelings too!

Comment by [Mojang] Grum (Erik Broes) [ 16/Mar/13 ]

Will be fixed for 1.5.1. Just a minor oversight for the 'silly ancient crap'

Comment by FireHunterX [ 15/Mar/13 ]

Well, looks like you'll be stuck with Minicraft!

Comment by Joseph Knight [ 13/Jan/13 ]

This is a Macintosh... while they technically have drivers, you can't upgrade them separately from the OS. In very rare and specific circumstances you can, but it's certainly not a standard or even occasional practice like with Windows boxes.

Googling on the issue, the answer for this case seems to be that you can not.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2369659?start=0&tstart=0

Thus, 10.5.8 left behind. It is 5 years old, it's just unfortunate it can't be resolved by working around this particular function or something.

Or perhaps it's OpenGL 1.2 they're leaving behind, and thus this particular OS with it? Either way, it just seems like someone should 'officially' make the decision to leave the OS behind.

From the name of the function, I expect they're taking advantage of some new OpenGL feature to permit them to more easily load all of the textures from separate files rather than from single 'bulk' texture files as was the case before? Just a guess.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 13/Jan/13 ]

It's not missing in the OS, it a missing function / bug in the OpenGL drivers.

Comment by Joseph Knight [ 13/Jan/13 ]

So with 13W02a they have started using some function that isn't available in this older OS and they're leaving OSX 10.5.8 behind?

I can understand if they're leaving 10.5 behind, it's almost 5 years old, I was just hoping this was not the case since it's the only computer I have access to at this time, and I was enjoying testing.

Oh well, 1.5 will apparently have higher system requirements.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 13/Jan/13 ]

Whilst your issue is not 100% identical, the reasons are identical:
Minecraft requests some functions of the graphics card (which probably has claimed to support the functions), but the card rejects that.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 13/Jan/13 ]

Note:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Function is not supported

Comment by Joseph Knight [ 13/Jan/13 ]

Also, that issue talks about a crash before the Mojang logo comes up, and this issue is after the Mojang logo comes up, and the dirt background is put in place, but before the menu shows up. This is not a duplicate, how do I get it unlinked?

Comment by Joseph Knight [ 13/Jan/13 ]

Unfortunately my computer is stuck at OSX 10.5.8, I can not update it any further at this time, which prevents upgrading Java or the OpenGL drivers. I expect that this prevents updating my LWJGL files, altho I'm not familiar with LWJGL files... didn't those come with the Minecraft installation?

I'm glad that 1.4.7 works, as did 13W01b, only as of W02 did things go south.

Also, this is not a duplicate of MC-872, which was supposedly already been resolved when I posted my case and was the very reason I posted my case. I had also experienced this same issue with 13W02a, and that issue was marked resolved.

I posted this case to point out that whatever issue MC-872 was, resolved or otherwise, I am still having the same issue as before with 13W02b.

Comment by Tails [ 11/Jan/13 ]

Duplicate of MC-872.

Comment by Christian Letz [ 11/Jan/13 ]

PLZ update yours java: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
you have java 6 update 26 (1.6.0_26) a newest version is 7 update 10 (1.7.0_10)

Comment by Kumasasa [ 11/Jan/13 ]

OpenGL: Intel GMA X3100 OpenGL Engine GL version 1.2 APPLE-1.5.48, Intel Inc.

Open GL 1.2 is way outdated.

Comment by [Mod] CubeTheThird [ 11/Jan/13 ]

This issue looks to be related to your computer setup. Please try updating your java installation as well as your graphics drivers (any maybe your LWJGL files as well).
