How to install new modpacks on Launcher v2?

[Roversword]

Hi all

 

Sorry, I didn't want to open a tracker ticket right away...for something I just might be too stupid to notice, but...

 

HOW can I add a new modpack to the launcher v2? I do not see a button or anything.

In v1 it was a "plus" which said "add pack" (or something along those lines). In v2 I do not see anything.

 

Thanks for your help.

Nothing can be done on the new Launcher at the moment. The Technic platform is down, so modpacks can't be added, removed, or installed. Not sure if existing ones can be played; I'm not able to check.

Okay, now that the Technic site has stabilized, I can now deliver an actual answer. To install a modpack, you find it on the site, (Discover -> Browse Modpacks) choose one, and click "Install this Modpack" on the right side (above the Modpack Information panel.) I usually did that with the launcher open, and the modpack immediately showed up and could be installed.

 

If that doesn't work, I think you can copy the platform URL and paste it in the text field above your list of modpacks in the launcher.

Hi there

 

Thank you for the answer.

I was searching for something along the lines of v1 (a button) and was not aware that it should be done automagically when I press the "install the modpack" on the website (while the launcher is open).

 

Of course I was aware that the website was a little shaky during the time I tried, however, not knowing that installing a new modpack to my launcher was so extremely interconnected with the website was expecting a button

 

Thanks, I will give it a try now.

Okay, it somehow worked (it took ages after clicking "install this modpack" on the website until it showed up on the launcher).

This might need to get fixed as people might not be as patient.

 

Downloading (which actually should have nothing to do with the launcher and the technic-website) takes ages as well (starting it, not the download itself once it started)...

I am also having this issue. It seems to randomly allow modpacks to be installed. There needs to be a manual input to help remedy this issue.

The Technic Launcher and www.technicpack.net are still not entirely stable after the new version rollout.  The admins are working on it.
