Minecraft Java Edition launcher crashes with Exit code: 1 stating 'The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. See problematic frame for where to report the bug.'

(Upon contacting the Minecraft support, I was told to raise a query here on Github.)

When I launch Minecraft Java Edition through the official launcher, the game crashes with an Exit code: 1, and the game output window states that 'The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. See problematic frame for where to report the bug.'

OS:Windows 10, Version: Build 19045

The output from java --version:
java 17.0.2 2022-01-18 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.2+8-LTS-86)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
N.A. since it takes place in the game window

Expected behavior: Expected the game to launch after starting it.

Please let me know in case any more details are required from my side.

@astemkar Are you able to post the contents of the `hs_err_pid.log error log file?

@astemkar - FYI - I also notice that your java --version command outputs 17.0.2+8 but that Minecraft is actually running the bundled 17.0.3+7.

For both @astemkar and @dan-uwaifo

Are you able to try installing 17.0.5 from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/java/openjdk/download and then:

1. Open Minecraft JE
2. Go to Installations
3. For the Latest Release installation select the ... button on the RH side and select Edit
4. Click on the More Options Dropdown
5. Click on the Browse link in the Java Executable field and navigate to the javaw.exe file in the directory that you just installed 17.0.5 to.
6. Restart Minecraft JE and see if that resolves the issue, if not please do post a new hs_err_pid_ file here

Ah well I would to that but I managed to fix everything due to a driver update. Thought it was updated since it was relatively new but checked the drivers via amd and now everything's working

How did you update your drivers?

I followed the tutorial from karianna but it didn't work

[karianna]

@MinikatzeM You may be impacted by the NVidia driver bug (please update to latest) or the AMD driver workaround. See LWJGL/lwjgl3#836 (comment)

[RustyBot572]

@karianna what do we do exactly? I see the comment but i don't know what you want us to do to fix the problem.

@RustyBot572 best thing to do here is talk with the folks from the LWJGL project.
