Please help! My friend just got a new windows 8 laptop, and he is having a bit of trouble with installing optifine. I assure you, he completely reinstalled minecraft 1.6 with the new launcher, and he gets some issues.
He can run the default profile in the laucher just fine with no problems. He downloaded a fresh copy of optifine hd u b4. He opened the 1.6.2.jar in his .minecraft/versions folder with winrar, and he opened the optifine .zip file with winrar. He copied all of the files inside of optifine and pasted them inside 1.6.2.jar. He then deleted META-INF. He closes out of that and runs the default profile. It opens just fine, but when he checks his video settings, optifine hasn't installed.
I even had him install the magic launcher and try it that way, but all he gets is "trouble connecting to server" when he tries to log in. I am pretty sure this is an entirely different issue. It works when he plays offline, but he can't connect to any servers.
I also had him create a new instance and he renamed everything correctly, and it still didn't work.
If you can help at all, that would be great. All help is appreciated!
