@Vivacity - thanks, but as it turns out I'm not currently using an anti-virus software (I'm currently downloading one as we speak). I'm thinking I need some kind of internet connection for the Technic launcher to work as it errors out with "cannot authenticate account with Minecraft.net". This would appear, to me, that it needs to connect to Minecraft.net in order to check my credentials, though I'm not entirely certain why (I have a legit account)...

@dwwojcik - yeah, that would make sense; my train of thought was that tekkit and its launcher ran off the minecraft account

@Melfic - thanks for that; though I've done this (in order to download the Tekkit pack), and all the while connected to the internet. Perhaps needing a fresh installation of both Minecraft and the Technic launcher are needed?

Recently I've been having an error about not being able to authenticate my Minecraft account when trying to launch Technic offline. I've downloaded the launcher and the Tekkit pack (thanks to my phone) but I've been reading there is a way to play offline - unfortunately, I don't know that way...

@theprolo - thanks for that. Recently I've been having an error about not being able to authenticate my Minecraft account when trying to launch Technic offline. Perhaps it was because I haven't updated Minecraft to the newest version?

I've been having a similar problem - though admittedly it very well could be something on my end. What your saying is that, once I've purchased a Minecraft account, launched it, etc., etc., then launch the Technic Launcher (whilst connected to the internet), it will download the selected pack, i.e. Tekkit, and viola! I'll be able to play said pack when not connected to the internet?
