Status: CLOSED

Windows installation script not executable, because it is not recognised as script.
FIX: v1.2.3: A batch file was added to call the script.

Issue is caused by multi-threaded chunk loading and was reported for NVidea graphics cards only.
Solution: See FAQ.
Status: CLOSED

[BUG:010] Log contains "[error] java.io.IOException: Stream closed"

This "error" message basically means, that Minecraft or Forge or any mods are still writing to the log (file) while it has already been closed due to a shutdown.
This is not caused by the launcher and does not mean any harm to your system or files.
Solution: Ignore it.
Status: CLOSED

[BUG:011] Checksum Error when Installing Extreme Shader

Checksum was correct on server side and successfully validated on client side by the developer. Issue vanished after reinstall and the actual reason has never been found.

Status: CLOSED

[BUG:013] Game Crashes with "NullPointerException" or "Ticking Memory .."

Originally, it is a memory issue (meaning the JVM doesn't get enough memory or can't free memory fast enough). The issue is most probably caused by the world generator - at least it occurs always during chunk loading. The launcher maximises the memory size given to Minecraft according to the memory size of your system to minimise the possibility of this issue to occur, but it still happens occasionally. There is no way we could fix it but you can significantly reduce the probability of this issue by using the following workarounds suggested.
Workarounds: See FAQ

Status: CLOSED
