0 Torezu Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I don't think this is causing any problems, but I'd remove and reinstall Java 7 just in case. You're running Update 2; Update 5 is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PlushPillow Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thank you for responding but there are so many different kinds of javas do you know any particular ones and where i can get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Grand Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I fixed it, credit to http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/stuck-on-technic-launcher-splash.8948/, and a friend for walking myself through, Created a batch file with the following: mkdir %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\temp "C:\program files\java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx1G -jar %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher.jar (Downloaded a server from tekkit and used that .bat file) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PlushPillow Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 This isnt quite clear to me where should i create the batch file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Grand Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Doesn't really matter(I think) for organization's sake I put it in the .techniclauncher folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PlushPillow Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 I did as you said but same problem, I dont know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Grand Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Alright, create a folder called 'rtemp', then run the bat file. Afterwords you should be able to run it from the normal exe as well. Oddly enough, the way I found that out was when I copy and pasted to a bat(from the original thread): mkdir %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\rtemp "C:\program files\java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx1G -jar %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher.jar It created an 'rtemp folder' but would close right away. After that my friend suggested putting C:\Program Files on a separate line(not sure if the added quotation marks did anything) and it ran. Again, I found simplest way is to just create a folder named 'rtemp', then run the bat file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bartimaeus Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'm not sure that I'm doing it right, but this does not work for me. When I try to run the batch file, one of those black text boxes pops up for a second and then goes away and nothing happens. Am I just doing it wrong?

0 Grand Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Make sure that with: mkdir %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\temp "C:\program files\java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx1G -jar %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher.jar the "c:\program files" is on its own line, like above^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PlushPillow Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 did as you said i run the .batch file and the launcher just loads pops up its banner and it freezes there Please help i am very desperate to play this wonderful mod pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PlushPillow Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Also quite annoying that the banner gets stuck on my screen until i restart my computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bartimaeus Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Also quite annoying that the banner gets stuck on my screen until i restart my computer I did find that if you go to you task manager (Ctrl+SHift+Esc) and in the processes page, you end the processes labeled java, that will get rid of the splash page without a restart. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PlushPillow Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well that fixes that problem but how do you fix it so it wont freeze in the first place could someone help me please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bartimaeus Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Whelp, Running the batch file now launches the game, although it still stays at the splash screen. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Grand Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Make sure to create a rtemp folder every time before you run the bat, as it disappears every time you start a game(you will only have to do it once if it works). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PlushPillow Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Well I fixed it for myself I feel very stupid about it.... But all i had had to do was allow the technic launcher updater through my windows firewall If you have already done this than hopefully Grand could help you but if you haven't 1.Open up control panel 2.Select System and Security 3.Allow a program through windows firewall 4.Click change settings and you should be able to browse and select a program By the way this is for windows 7 if you have any other versions of somesort hopefully there shall be similar instuctions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bartimaeus Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Victory! I made it to the launcher screen. Many thanks to your good sirs. Now I just have to figure out why neither minecraft or tekkit can's connect to minecraft.net. But that is a problem for a different thread.

Try deleting your lastlogin file, that can solve the 'cant connect to minecraft.net' for the technic launcher(not sure about the regular launcher) EDIT:http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/various-startup-issues.13366/#post-100205, someone said it is a Minecraft issue.

0 Bartimaeus Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You're going to have to use the "allow another program" option; go to where ever you saved the technic launcher and select that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
