Minecraft crashing when joining game

[superzeppo]

After updating drivers for my GTX 880M, I haven't been able to play Minecraft at all. Momentarily I got it working by using Intel integrated graphics but it still crashed after couple of seconds. The game crashes when I'm joining game. It either flashes the game screen for one frame or just crashes during loading.

 

Some things I've tried:

 

Remove and reinstall drivers for GTX

Downgrade drivers for GTX

Reinstall Java 8 64bit

Downgrade to Java 7 64bit

Downgrade Minecraft from 1.8.2 pre1 to 1.8.1 and 1.8

Create a new world

Join old world

Join server

Google the problem but all said, reinstall graphics drivers or wait for bug fix

 

Minecraft launcher gives different report almost every time. Once it said can't play, sound not found. Usually it says that crash happened inside Java virtual machine, sometimes just can't keep up and gives some latencies in ms. Once Java even gave some bug report file.

 

Is reinstalling Minecraft the only way left? I'm running completely stock Minecraft, no mods, not even skins.

Reinstall, it's a small game...

Did not work

 

Now I can't get it even start the GTX. Laptops, huh! I forced Minecraft to use GTX from Nvidia control center but no, it just uses HD4600.

Okay, it's solved... kind of. The reinstall repaired most of the crashes but it still kept crashing saying that same Java crash thing as previously. I found out that only way to run it is to use HD 4600 OR right click Minecraft icon and choose GTX graphics every single time I start Minecraft. If I don't choose it, the game tries to use HD 4600 and surprise, it lags badly. If I force GTX from Nvidia control panel, it crashes every time. If I use automatic graphics, it'll use HD 4600 even though it says it's going to use GTX. 

 

So if someone is having the same problem after GTX drivers update, try right click Minecraft and run with GTX graphics, it works for me now.
