Log Files/Crash Reports

No file was generated also I did just reinstall minecraft as It wasn't launching the launcher. So the file might have not been generated yet. + I did drag mod , texture packs , version and a few others into the new reinstall would this effect it?

[Cartoen]

Also this doesn't happen without optifine installed.

On windows, but same instant crash issue I opened: https://github.com/sp614x/optifine/issues/6210

Are you using Forge mod loader or Optifine stand alone. I got the same issue with the mod version (stand alone/client works properly). MacBook Air with M1 16 Gig ram macOS 11.6. Tried several Optifine and Forge versions, and none fo them work. Other mods load properly with forge (specifically Xaero's mini map and world map) Edit: I uploaded log (but it seems pretty empty with no sign of warning or error) debug.log

Got the same problem here on Linux. Tried multiple versions of Forge mod loader, all result in an immediate crash with exit code 0. If I had to take a guess about the issue, my guess would be some obscure change in Java 16 that crashes Optifine, since it seems that 1.17 has to be run under Java 16, instead of previous versions which worked fine under Java 8. debug.log seems to have no info of crash.

What OptiFine version are you all using? G9?

[HoodedDeath]

What OptiFine version are you all using? G9?

I've tried G9 and both the pre-release versions available before it

[Cartoen]

Sorry I've been away

[Cartoen]

I'm thinking it could be something in libraries (.minecraft) or something.

[Froxcey]

Optifine G6: I tested it with the following forge versions: 37.0.58 37.0.70 37.0.73 The game directly crash without showing the initialization screen and the log doesn't show any sign of error or warning. Edit: the log is uploaded above.

H1 pre 6 with Forge 37.0.73: Mod doesn't get detected and game launch without Optifine.

[KaiAF]

Try using the latest preview version, see if this helps. When you use the preview version, press extract and put the extracted version into the mods folder.

[HoodedDeath]

I'm probably being a bit stupid here, but I'm a bit confused. Should I try downloading U H1 pre6, extract the jar, and put those files into the mods folder?

[KaiAF]

Yes, just open the optifine installer and it says "install" and "extract", press extract and put that into the mods folder.

[HoodedDeath]

Okay, thank you. I honestly forgot that the jar file acted as an installer as well.

Happy to report that this method gets the mod working, at least with forge version 37.0.78. Optifine is not listed in the mods menu, but all optifine options show up in the video settings. I have not tested gameplay for longer than a few minutes, but it all seems good with that workaround.

[KaiAF]

cool

[KaiAF]

@Cartoen are you using forge? Can you send a debug.log file like the others?

[Froxcey]

Okay I tried Optifine H1 pre 1 with Forge 37.0.84. Minecraft launch without Optifine, but I got a log that probably have important debug information. For testing reason, I only run Optifine mod alone and temporarily moved other mods away. Briefly looking at the latest.log, it looks like it's having a problem loading the default resource pack? Therefore I tried to run with a resource pack on (I used Depixel because I think it covers every texture and is most likely to fix the problem). The same problem still happen (of course default resource pack still need to be loaded). Both log with resource pack (WithReourcepack.log) and without (latest.log) are attach below: WithReourcepack.log latest.log
