Workaround for the new official Minecraft Launcher (Windows) #3333
Comments
fucking legendary man, i'll see if i can annoy a dev to get this actually put into the installer |
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH |
You can also get the launcher from minecrafts website |
Sorry, but i fail to see the relevance of your comment. Did you even read the the description? |
I downloaded the new launcher from minecraft.net (before this issue was made) and there was no issues, nothing changed |
The new verion of the official launcher renamed the
launcher_profiles.json
tolauncher_profiles_microsoft_store.json
.A workaround is to create a symlink between those two files. This way you dont have to rename the same file over and over again.
Make sure there is only the
launcher_profiles_microsoft_store.json
file in your.minecraft
directory and it is your used version. Deletelauncher_profiles.json
if present.Open a command line as administrator
Run the command
mklink %APPDATA%\.minecraft\launcher_profiles.json %APPDATA%\.minecraft\launcher_profiles_microsoft_store.json
Check your
.minecraft
directory. There should now be alauncher_profiles.json
file with the filetype (not name extension!).symlink
.The
launcher_profiles.json
andlauncher_profiles_microsoft_store.json
are the same file. Every change in one of them will affect both. This way there will no confusion about which file to use.I hope this helps.
