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The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

hi could anyone help me. i keep having this problem where it cant find the tatget. then it refrenses where the tar.gz file is. https://imgur.com/02TsSBs.png

@petr Maybe you need to change the code looking up the libraries?

Updated to current release.

RE skins not working: It works for me without any of the symlinking/copying. Are you sure that's necessary? Or is just adding libglvnd as a dependency enough?

Hm, it is a popular packet and out of date for quite some time. :(

It would be very cool if you implemented the changes suggested by @chenjunyu19 into the PKGBUILD.

The latest version is now 2.1.2464. Change your PKGBUILD variables as follows: pkgver=2.1.12464 Change the first sha256sum to: 63bc6f0b8f8a387f7f49da8f75466502ef226777221e877e9c842b1a76702fcd

Accidentally deleted my previous comment. Basically said that that's all we need to do here as well, just the author isn't around to bump the version at the moment. I've emailed him and we'll see if he's able to update it.

Is there a reason we are not just modifying the version, like the GitKraken package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gitkraken/ , in the PKGBUILD?

A new version was just pushed. Until the AUR is updated, you can set the pkgver to 2.1.12308.
