0 Cheap Shot Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Delete your .techniclauncher folder entirely, then download the latest launcher from the technicpack.net website. Run that, and then go.
0 RMB777 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I'm having the problem as well. I have tried the .jar download (0.5.4.4) [on mac]. I have also tried the .exe download (0.5.4.4) [on windows]. There is no error report, if i try logging in on technic, tekkit or vanilla, the updater, goes through two bars and on the third bar it stops 90-99% before finishing. A window pops up with "Upate Failed". I've tried downloading and redownloading again and again. No success.
0 Shudokai Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Same Problem for me and a friend, we tried deleting everything, redownloading, downloading vanilla minecraft from minecraft.net first, jar and exe files .... saying 'Update Failed' over and over again ...
0 shiney103 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Registerred just for this. A big fan of the pack hearing from friends, downloaded, clean install of minecraft, select the Technic pack, then, then, after a lengthy download,"Update failed." Mac, running off of the .jar.
0 gugglle Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Yep, Kaker, your fix didnt solve it here. Gonna try some crazy stuff and will post with details.
0 cprobertson1 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Im getting more or less the same problem works fine with a backdated version of 1.1: but its not liking 1.2 Logs: http://pastebin.com/fmq73G2E Logs are complaining of a mismatch with the MD5 checksum: its failing to allow the minecraft.jar through. - Tried total reinstall of TechnicPack including manually deleting all files - couldn't see much else. I have the latest 64-bit java installed and whatnot - can't see anything else that might be awry xD - Not allowing me to clear the cache: says "Failed to clear the cache! Ensure Modpack files are open. If all else fails, close the launcher, restart it, and try again" - tried that several times to no avail. Hope there's a fix soon xD
0 Adnzl Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I'm getting this problem too. I'm on linux. Tried deleting everything and that didn't help at all. Going to try it out on windows and see if I have any luck there. Ok just tried it on Windows to and the .exe and the .jar file both refuse to work. Infact the .exe fails even more than the .jar. I did notice that MineCraft 1.2.3 is out, and I wonder if that is what has broken the latest Technic launcher?
0 Graphiso Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Same problem here, cant go onto my server now. Update failed for the launcher.
0 TemporalWolf Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Same issue, tekkit & technic give MD5 checksum failures.
0 Willhemmens Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Currently giving Windows 8 a test, I try and keep up with the times. Getting the same issue and often the .exe won't work either. Minecraft 1.2.3 is out now too, wonder if that has anything to do with it.
0 whenrick Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Having exactly the same problem. Tried both the jar and exe versions, deleting the folders... Still nothing.
0 rocket1615 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I've got the same problem, none of the launcher versions work im now stuck in a place where i can't play
0 SimpleGuy Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Yep, Kaker, your fix didnt solve it here. Gonna try some crazy stuff and will post with details. Probably because Kaker didn't provide a solution here. ;)
0 Itsninja Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Sam exact issue here. I recently re-downloaded the launcher and .technic files for my mac, and now every time i try and launch the game, i get update failed after about 2 or 3 loading bars
0 cereberus99 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 this also occured to me. Friend was having problems connecting to my server so I wanted to connect from work. Work computer will run Minecraft vanilla but the tekkit launcher gives me an error when loading any of the three choices (technic, vanilla, tekkit). I remoted into my own PC and was able to connect from there so it's not related to user ID. Both PCs are 64 bit windows. I am unrestricted as far as I know at work (but I could be wrong).
0 miniboxer Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 well, i can't believe that people are confused by this: TECHNIC LAUNCHER IS NOT FOR 1.2.3 YET!
0 cereberus99 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 well, i can't believe that people are confused by this: TECHNIC LAUNCHER IS NOT FOR 1.2.3 YET! Well, sonovabihhhhh... didn't even notice it was upgraded. my bad. Thanks for that.
0 linkthegamer Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 As miniboxer said the pack has not updated for 1.2.3. It is an error is the checksum. It will be updated when it is updated. Till then play vanilla or go outside.
0 miniboxer Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 go outside. what is this "outside" you speak of? ;)
0 cereberus99 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 reran with 1.1 jar and still getting the same issue. im thinking im going to try importing the one from home to the work pc and see if that jives. nope. that didn't work either. oh well.
0 miniboxer Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 IMPORTING A 1.1 .JAR WILL DO NOTHING. THE LAUNCHER WILL SEE IT IS OUTDATED AND SPAZ OUT. That was in caps for a reason, as it is important, so people will notice it.
0 cereberus99 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 IMPORTING A 1.1 .JAR WILL DO NOTHING. THE LAUNCHER WILL SEE IT IS OUTDATED AND SPAZ OUT. That was in caps for a reason, as it is important, so people will notice it. I'm all for listening. As I have a working version at home and a non working one at work, is there a way to use the working version to fix the broken one? Would this whole update thing also be the reason why one of my users is unable to connect to my server? he doesn't get the "update failed" message.
0 cereberus99 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 and can we kill the 4-5 other threads about this? choose whichever you want, (this one has most views) but i think it cna bring confusion to have all these different threads (that, and poor miniboxer has to jump all over the place to provide us with his tasty, tasty knowledge).

You may end up nuking both if you attempt to fix your work one.
