Gunny

Name: TheyCallMeGunny Age: 24 Reason: Playing between friends has gotten to be pretty desolate. 3 players in a server simply is not enough for extended play. I don't grief, I just like playing survival and maintaining my own little 'empire.' Have a few youtube/twitch videos to show that I play as anyone should, no griefing or retarded antics: Just try to always make an epic e-home one step at a time.

What I'm about to say is going to sound completely retarded, but it's entirely true. I had the same problem as you. Came about after attempting to create a custom modpack. Every day since release until this morning, the launcher and modpacks were working fine. But for hours this morning, I experienced exactly your described issue. Tried deleting everything, and cleaning every trace and attempting re-downloads, etc. no avail. I clicked my character's face in launcher out of pure "well this is stupid, let's poke him", instead of "log in" and it worked.. Logged out, baffled.. Clicked "log in".. Failed again.. Logged out again.. Stumped.. Clicked my avatar's face.. Worked. I don't even.. But maybe it'll help you?
