Minecraft Bedrock 1.8 (Beta) crashes on launch on Arch Linux

[NoahJelen]

I am trying to launch the latest beta version of Minecraft Bedrock on Arch Linux and it crashes almost immediately after launching. Here is a screenshot of the game log.

same thing happens here, I am using the same version.

Apparently no version newer than 1.7.1 will work. They all crash giving said error message. :(
I believe it's the new betas that break the launcher's code.

EDIT I got 1.7.0.13 to finally work after a little trial and error. However, the beta versions still crash.

You must use the 1.8 branch: https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest/tree/1.8.0.8

Hello @MCMrARM

Is there a solution for the Ubuntu 18.04 apt repository? I tried

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrate

and I'm still getting this error

Also, the link you added in your last post is broken

BTW, thanks for building this launcher. It works really well (other than the recent error), and is a pleasure to use.

What is the output of `which mcpelauncher-client` in a terminal?

I was able to get help from @MCMrARM on the discord server.

Here's what which mcpelauncher-client output:
/usr/local/bin/mcpelauncher-client

instead of
/usr/bin/mcpelauncher-client

This is because before I installed using the apt repository, I had installed from source. The apt repo launcher was grabbing the obsolete client, which couldn't run MCPE 1.8

The solution to this was to run

rm /usr/local/bin/msa-daemon
rm /usr/local/bin/msa-ui-qt
rm /usr/local/bin/msa-ui-gtk
rm /usr/local/bin/mcpelauncher-client
rm /usr/local/bin/mcpelauncher-server
rm -r /usr/local/share/mcpelauncher

as root.

Yep that's what I was going to tell you, did it work?
