Here's a fix: http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php/topic,649.23.html scroll down to post number 23 And, yes this may also be because of AVG. I'm not sure trough! EDIT: I tested with java 7 AND AVG: Gamingmode on, but it still freezes. it does work with Java 6 trough!

Hey, I had some private email about how to make the scripts I've wrote in the post above, so for those who don't know how to make .bat scripts: here is a little quick tutorial. 1. Open a text-editor like Notepad. 2. Type in whatever you want to put in. remember, everything you write in to save as a .bat or .cmd will be used in the command promt when you execute it. 3. whenever you are done, press: file -> save as: 3.1 Save the name to whatever you wanna call it, but finish your name with: .bat / .cmd 3.2 Select: Save as, below the file name, to: 'All types *.*' 3.3 If you made the script to start up like another file (just like the technic-laucher.jar), make sure you save it in the same folder as the file! 4. If you want to have the file on your like desktop, just make a shortcut to it. That makes you able to change the icon as well! 5. Now you're all set! I hope this was instructive enough.

Yeah I got some problems with java too. I have Java7 u3 installed, and whenever I start the Technic launcher (the one the downloader has downloaded). It starts fine, but whenever it wants to download all the files, it just stops, freezes, and after about 1 minute it says: failed to download. This happens too with normal Minecraft (Minecraft just crashes completely), Java 7 just cannot download it completely. Anyways, If i try to install Java 6, and launch it with java 6 (C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe), it start up Java 7! C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe. So, after de-installing java 7, it works fine (it uses java 6). it just downloads everything without problems. after the download of all files, i re-installed Java 7 again, and played it with java 7. So i thought: This shouldn't be this hard! so i made some scripts, and finally i came up to this: 'Start w Java6.cmd': "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx2G -Xms512M -jar technic-launcher.jar and: 'Start w Java7.cmd': "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx2G -Xms512M -jar technic-launcher.jar I placed these files in the .techniclauncher folder. now whenever i wanna download the Technic files again, i choose the 'Start w Java6.cmd', and whenever I just wanna play it without downloading, i choose 'Start w Java7.cmd' PS: All versions of Java is 64 bit I hope this will help for some of you.
