Hey! We're hearing Nvidia driver 378.49 has a few issues. Nvidia are working hard on a fix, but for now, we suggest you avoid the update.

Already tried:
Reinstalled Graphics driver
Reinstalled Java
Reinstalled Minecraft

The launcher starts but when I click on Play the game doesn't start and I get the attached log. There is no game output and no other log.
