Tripredacus Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 They only have "Windows 7 and up" but specify bitness for Linux and MacOS. They really should put the bitness on the Windows requirement, since if the game requires 4 GB RAM, a 32-bit OS isn't going to meet that requirement. Now the thing I am wondering about is whether you can still use an old launcher on an old OS, or if they are going to block that from working.

i430VX Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 They are going to block that from working, but not really by any sort of API functionality difference, as far as I know. They are changing the account login method to need a Micro$soft account. Which, the old login method doesnt do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Presumably, you will still be able to play up to v1.12 using Magic Launcher. Not that I ever had a need for running offline, but I just realized I've never played a version newer than 1.12.2 myself. So I would not even consider it to be a deal breaker to have to stick to old versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i430VX Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Thanks for that. I've always just played the latest version, but yeah 1.12.2 was the last that seemed to run well on a fair bit of hardware for me. (In fact, it may be the last at all for linux x86, iirc) When the normal launcher ceases functioning I will try out the Magic Launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyfan Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) it a sad day it look like minecraft has been been officially made dead on vista/xp r.i.p minecraft 2006-2021 for vista/xp (i even tested unistalling the launcher and reinstalling it and it still gave me this message) Edited April 12, 2021 by VistaEX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
