[Demonataz]

Recently got a new computer, but having trouble getting minecraft to work. Looked online and said to update drivers which i have done. Ive still got the problem, wondered if anyone could shed some light on the situation. Launcher starts fine but when i hti play i get he following error message:

There's your problem. You need to somehow downgrade your copy of java. Minecraft is using deprecated function (AKA being terrible). on a side note, is this the installed version or the launcher that you are using because the installed version doesn't work for me either

That shouldn't be the problem, I get the same warning but minecraft works fine. Maybe try to remove your .minecraft directory (was it copied from old computer?). If that doesn't work, can I see full log? And what game versions did you try?
