Minecraft Vanilla 1.9 crash with problematic frame ig8icd64.dll

I go to the Minecraft menu and click on singleplayer to test out the 1.9 update. I made a new world (no mods), it said downloading terrain and then it crashes every time (I've tried about 20 times now).

Has anyone else experienced similar issues and know what the fix may be?

Here is the launcher log:

Solution 1:

According to an FAQ post about Minecraft 1.9 issues, the error you're getting is because you are running Minecraft through an Intel Integrated Graphics card which has faulty drivers:

This is because of a memory leak caused by Intel's drivers (i.e. faulty drivers). This mainly affects 7th to 9th Generation Intel HD Graphics (ig7xxxxx.dll, ig8xxxxx.dll, ig9xxxxx.dll) which ships with 3rd Generation to 6th Generation Intel Core Processors.

In layman's terms, if your Intel CPU is Ivy Bridge (Model number ix-3xxx), Haswell (4xxx), Broadwell (5xxx) or Skylake (6xxx), you may be affected.

If your computer has another graphics card (such as nVidia or ATI), first try forcing it to run on that graphics card, instead of the low-power Intel integrated one. (You'll probably find that Minecraft runs a lot better on it as well)

Otherwise, your other options include:

• Make sure you have the latest drivers installed. (You can use Intel's Driver Update Utility for this)
• Set VBO and VSync to On in Video Settings
  • These are under Options -> Video Settings -> Use VSync/Use VBO -> On).

In general, you should also try:

• Uninstalling/Removing the downloaded Minecraft files, redownloading the installer and re-running the launcher (be sure to back up your world files first).
• Allocating more RAM to Minecraft
• Reporting the bug to Mohjang Support
• Using a different PC that utilises a graphics card that isn't an Intel Integrated model

Until Intel fixes their drivers, these are your only options.

In Minecraft in the options/ video settings menu I changed the graphics setting from Fancy to Fast. Now it seems to be working fine.
