I can't play minecraft 1.8?

I was trying to play minecraft 1.8 and a message popped up. It said it was caused by Java.lang.illegalStationException. Minecraft works fine on 1.7.10 but not on 1.8.

"That's a new one…
Let's try this first.

1. Hold down the Windows Key and R to bring up the Run dialog.
2. Type in: %appdata%\.minecraft and click Ok.
3. Delete all files except the saves folder.
4. Try starting Minecraft and see if it crashes"

Minecraft isn't a good game. Download steam and check these out,

1. CounterStrike, Global Offensive
2. Rust
3. DayZ standalone

I do not play Minecraft… But I googled that error… Hokie smokes… The possible causes…
