Launcher Problems (following the report format)

[alex haworth]

Posting on behalf of a friend (not that sampler guy).

Launcher/pack Version: Launcher EXE (1.0.1.3)

Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit

Version of Java: 7 64 bit

Description of Problem: When she uses the launcher, the Technic logo comes up and then nada. See below screenshot. I tried to get her to load it with Java directly from the .technic folder and she had an error message.

Antivirus program: Mcafee

Error Messages: None.

Link to pastebin of log: None.

Screenshot of logo on screen not going further: http://puu.sh/CV64

Screenshot of error when trying to right click > open with > java: http://puu.sh/CVjY

Possible problems: Slow internet (she uses her next door neighbour's wireless) or perhaps it's because she bought the cheapest netbook they sold at Walmart.

Okay, We could probably play telephone for six hours trying to help her, but that would be twice as much work as is probably necessary. Have her come on and post a bug report herself. We don't bite, as long as you follow the rules.

[alex haworth]

Alright, I'll let her sign into my account. Can she continue using this thread? I'll help her answer any questions you might have. Thanks.

[Jay?]

Yeah sure.

[alex haworth]

hello

[alex haworth]

(That is her, btw. This isn't some scheme.)

[alex haworth]

Crap. I can't edit it out.

[Jay?]

Stop that. We don't care about your pictures, we want your fat juicy errors.

You couldn't edit it out because I did it first.

[alex haworth]

Okay, the "hello" message was her. I posted the error messages in the OP via the puu.sh links.

She's watching this thread and awaits your advice/questions.

[alex haworth]

Yes.

[alex haworth]

Use non-capitals so they'll be able to tell the difference between us.

[Jay?]

Okay, first off, that's the Java error, what we need is the launcher error, in .techniclauncher/logs

[Jay?]

In the mean time try completely uninstalling McAfee, as it can be a dick if it's not configured properly.

Above is the log.

[Jay?]

dud you uninstall McAffee?

[alex haworth]

ok it works, thanks!

one more problem although i know it's not this forum's area of expertise, i'd be really grateful for your assistance. when i try and join my friend's server i gets the following:

i understand this means that the client version is different to the host version, but i thought that the launcher made it the same version.

[Jay?]

The launcher makes it the version that you tell it to. Make sure that you've selected the version that goes with the server you're trying to connect to.

[alex haworth]

ok i figured it out i had technic selected rather than tekkit! thanks very much for your help. have a nice evening.

[alex haworth]

hi again!

is this problem likely due to my slow internet?

many thanks!

[Jay?]

Nope. Try going into your options and changing your view distance.

I think the admins should know this: the render distance is bugged in tekkit. By default, it says "+-32" or something on the bar, and it renders the game like that. It's happened to several of my friends. You just have to change the render distance to fix it.

damn, you people post fast, wincamXP had the right solution, it is a weird bug in tekkit, don't know what's up with it.

That's "Tiny - 32", which is essentially zero. Turn it up to anything. "Far" is halfway across the bar, any more than that (and sometimes less) can crash a low-end machine.
