I just installed the Technic Launcher because one of the mods i want requires it, but when i open it up all of the icons on the left side say "Loading..." and when i try to click anywhere else the icons change to saying that they are "offline..." and it will now let me chick on stuff but the icons won't work so i can't do anything really. I already tried running it as an administrator and it didn't change. I have a Windows 8 laptop, if that changes anything; can someone please help!
