MCL-20261Game crashes when opening worlds or servers in new launcher
Using the new launcher, running any world or joining any server in versions over 1.14 or 1.15 will just crash the game with the error, "failed to create a child event loop".
Workaround:
- Go to Installations, select and edit your profile
- Click "More options" and on Java Executable, replace it with the following: "C:\Users*<yourname>*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\Microsoft\WritablePackageRoot\runtime\java-runtime-alpha\windows-x64\java-runtime-alpha\bin\javaw.exe"
When using this version of Java, the game will run just fine like it was on the original launcher.
