@MojangSupport i just got the downloaded version update for minecraft 10 minutes ago. Since then i have not been able to get passed the loading screen. I have closed it and opened it back up multiple times end in the same result of not being able to get passed the loading screen.
I'm sorry to hear that's happening! I would go ahead and report that here: https://bugs.mojang.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa … so that the developers can see and look into it further. ^AS
