Can't run Minecraft 1.8 or later [duplicate]

Can't run Minecraft 1.8 or later [duplicate] - Bearded sportsman running on urban stairs during training

I know that when 1.8 came out originally, I could run it just fine, though not anymore. I normally play 1.7.10 because that's the latest version that some of my mods are available in, but today I tried to load up 1.8.7 without mods. Turns out Minecraft can't run anything past 1.7.10- 1.8 and later all result in this:

 A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x000007fedf30c475, pid=2800, tid=7648

I've tried re-downloading Minecraft and using different versions of Java, but nothing works and I still can't load anything past 1.7.10.

EDIT: I tried the older Minecraft.exe launcher. Seems to work fine with that one, but not the other two. huh



Best Answer

You need to reinstall ig4icd64.dll

Problematic frame: C [ig4icd64.dll+0x30c475]

You can download it here : https://www.dllme.com/dll/files/ig4icd64_dll.html

Once that is downloaded place it in C:\Windows\System32\

Be careful however as that contains very important system files.

If that fails, it's a problem with your graphics card or your CPU's integrated graphics, as that file is responsible for OpenGL.
