Can't start game/application closes as soon as I start to open it

Hi guys, so I woke up to see that the revamp just went live. After successfully updating via the launcher, I clicked on the "Play Now" button only to have the JavaAppLauncher program immediately close as it starts to load with no error messages or anything.

What could be the issue here and what I can do to fix it? I've already tried reinstalling the game and even reinstalling Java (in case I have an outdated version), but neither seems to make the game work.

And by the way, I am playing on a MacBook, OS X Version 10.9.3.

Hoping for some helpful replies.

 

im having the same issue on win 7

 

Having this issue as well on win7

 

Here's the error log if that helps:

Reinstalled and updated. Same problem (Play Now! *logo blinks* nothing in processes afterwards)

Fresh error log looks like this:

Same issue here. Win 7

 

was playing game just before the update and now it crashes for me as soon as i hit play now, they are not answering any of our messages about this crash i highly doubt they even care lol

 

Thanks for the confirmation guys. I was thinking at first this was some isolated case caused by my laptop. I've done the suggested steps in the troubleshooting thread but none seem to work. Kinda disappointing that there aren't replies from the devs, because even just an acknowledgement of this issue should do because at least I can hope that there's a fix for this. :/

 

Looks like there is an issue with Win 7.

Though only one report of Mavericks.

Today has been a busy day, I'm sure they'll be poked about it soon though.

 

Anybody found a fix? I got the same issue on Win XP :/

 

same for me on win 7

 

Yes, I did that twice. Also tried installing it to different partitions and installing/running it as an admin

EDIT: Managed to fix it! I deleted everything, downloaded it new, turned off Antivir, and did EVERY STEP (run: initial installer, updater, updater after Updating) as an admin.

 

same here ive done everything 6 or 7 times nothing works

 

Yes, I have done this. No luck still.

 

I got it to work!!

I disabled start menu folder in the install. It's one box to uncheck and it works!!

 

Yes, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice and I'm still crashing. I though the latest update might fix it, but alas, it continues to crash. Still, it's good to hear that it can be fixed somewhat. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with this MacBook so I don't know how I could replicate Bagellord's or the Silver One's fixes. Anyone who can help me out here? I.e., where exactly are all the game files stored? And since there isn't exactly a Start Menu in OS X, I can't do Silver One's fix.

Oh, and thank you Senshu. Please let us know if you can get to the bottom of this.

 

I am completely unfamiliar with Mac, but I just googled "JaveAppLauncher crashes on Mac" and the like. It brought up a lot for Minecraft. Minecraft also runs through Java. Some of the forum results sounded very similar to your issue. If it's an issue with Java, then maybe the minecraft issues could help you.
I know it's not much, but maybe it helps point you in the right direction.
Good luck!
