I seem to be having a different issue than what others are describing. Suddenly today, I an unable to start the launcher without getting a generic "An unexpected issue occurred" message. Here's what I get in the terminal:

$ minecraft-launcher
sh: line 1: orca: command not found
Created browser window for reuse: 0x1600004
[34399:34552:0308/133050.212343:ERROR:mime_util_xdg.cc(137)] Invalid mime.cache file does not contain null prior to ALIAS_LIST_OFFSET=44
[34399:34552:0308/133055.416488:ERROR:cast_crl.cc(443)] CRL - Verification failed.

Edit: I found that deleting the webcache2 directory in the .minecraft directory fixes the issue for me.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.

That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.

The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

@DarkThoughts use multimc-bin then. It's officially maintained and fully allows msa

@bryiewes I don't have an update button on the launcher. I use 0.16.13, which is the latest build of that AUR package. The "Add Microsoft" button is greyed out and I can only add Mojang accounts.

@DarkThoughts MultiMC has an update button on the launcher itself. Please update your launcher or go to multimc.org. fun fact peterix, the creator of mmc, is Petr. He works at Mojang.

@bryiewes I use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/multimc5, which does not have an update button. And I usually do not use the official launcher, since it was not working at all unless I'd use that command, as stated in the bug report that I've linked.

@DarkThoughts MultiMC supports msa now. Update using the update button in mmc. Also you seriously launch minecraft-launcher with that command EVERY TIME?

Is there a way to launch this without having to "LC_ALL=C minecraft-launcher" through the konsole all the time? I unfortunately migrated my account, realizing that MultiMC isn't actually working with them yet, and the official launcher is not working properly for months now. https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCL-17531

Edit: And of course the official launcher doesn't take the Microsoft credentials either… Fucking great.

Maybe they were confused by the "928-1" version number of the PKGBUILD. Which also happens to be the version or build number used for the actual package download.

@bryiewes, yes, as far as I can tell, it is up to date.

2.2.3963 is the same version installed, listed on the Minecraft Wiki, and referenced as the current version in the out of date comment.

@xgjmibzr so is minecraft-launcher up to date?

@clebermatheus why'd you mark this out of date?

Installed version per this package:

2.2.3963
