Ok so good job, Calclavia! Gene-ous
Quickly: My computer: Brand new (like 4 days or so) 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display; Core i7 2.5 GHz (4 cores, turbo boost to 4.0GHz). 16GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GeForce 750m with 2GB GDDR5 memory, and 512GB of PCIe SSD goodness. Dual external monitors through HDMI and MDP, external keyboard and gaming mouse, and the mac not in clamshell mode (open) I have tried this on my dads machine (the exact same, just a bit older) with no external monitors, and it doesn't have any of the issues I'm about to 'showcase'.
Now on to the issue, as you can see my computer is fully capable
Lets put it plainly. Mac OS X now does not function with any of the launcher versions after launcher 2. With the Launcher 3, It just pulls up a windows Saying: Technic Launcher (which is new) and when the bar finishes loading, it says you need to install a Java 7 Runtime Environment, Trust me I have downloaded and installed the exact thing it leads me to at least three times. So I try to go to the latest Launcher, IT MUST BE BETTER, I thought.
No, even worse
All it says (I've tried it on there different downloads) is: The Application Technic Cannot be opened. Might I add, apps from external developers are allowed on my machine. I have gotten the old launcher to boot once and when I do, I get another hellish move of bad programming.
I haven't tried volts yet, but this is the Minecraft Wars Pack, found here, on Technic.
If I can get it to boot (1/20 or so) every ten seconds exactly the framerate tanks from 30FPS to 2. Settings are: Smooth Lighting: off. V-sync: off. Aniscoptic (how ever you spell that ^-^) to off. Render distance: 4 chunks, and brightness to max, and max FPS at 30. Tried it with 60+ and It wouldn't even get there.
None of these issues happen on my dads machine...this 'aint right.
In the comments, please don't post stupid little things like: Were you in creative, or Was it raining, because I have tried all things like that, so save yourself some time so you don't get carpel tunnel as fast as I do whilst trying to get this thing to work.
Don't forget us Mac OS X users, Calclavia
