Okay everyone. I've seen people are having problems with the new launcher but I really haven't had any I can't fix. I'm creating this thread because I know some people are experiencing the same problems and don't know how to fix them, and I also want to know if people have encountered different problems and whether or not they have fixed them. And if they have fixed them, I want them to explain how they fixed those problems.
One problem I had was setting up a completely new directory. The old launcher would create new directories in folders that didn't already exist.
For example: If I had ...Desktop\MC but a folder called MC didn't already exist on the Desktop the old launcher would create that folder and set up the directory. The new launcher won't create that folder, if it didn't already exist the game would crash on launch. Obviously the fix to that is creating a blank folder named MC on Desktop manually. Then you can make that the directory and the new launcher will set everything up.
Another problem I had was setting up a directory with modded versions of MineCraft. Even if I had the blank folder created, it would crash on startup if I tried to set up the directory with forge. I fixed this by setting up the directory with the corresponding version of vanilla MineCraft, then switching over to forge.
If you've got any existing profiles loaded up (There'll be a list if you have), you can just click on any of them and it's the fourth option down and save after editing it.
If there are no profiles just click on the three straight lines near the top right for options, and go to the last option "Launh Options". Under the first three sliders you'll see a "+ add new" line, click it to make a new profile. Turn any of the sliders on the left habd side to the right to be able to edit them, including JVM arguments.
I hope this helps a few people.
Like I said at the start of this thread, if you are experiencing problems or have experienced problems but fixed them, please explain those problems and if and how you fixed them.
i can see the most recent updates in Minecraft.net
and change my skin directly from the launcher..
There's just one problem i have and that is i dunno how to allocate more RAM for minecraft [ With the new launcher ]
The old launcher was to simple go to edit profile and change the java settings at the bottom to [ e.g. -Xmx2G -Xms2G ] and that would allocate 2GB of ram,
but i dont see any edit profile button or anything similar in the new launcher
would be glad to see if someone can figure this out

This is a thread about how a driver update broke some peoples games. More info, and a fix are available there.
Thanks man you helped a lot
It's not right now since many youtubers said that they can't.
The youtubers said that with the old launcher, they could record themselves with another
account while their main one was doing something.
With the new launcher they can no longer do that. [ At least for now maybe ]
This problem alone with some other issues will be fixed in the launcher's next update
Until then I think you might be able to open two instances by using a virtual machine.
