Technic pack stuck on the splash loadout? Where it says Technic pack.

Description of Problem:

Whenever I launch it, the splash screen just stays there and never loads. I can't close it unless I restart my computer. I have tried multiple things, they never work.

Error Messages:

None.

Error Log:

None.

From what it sounds like, you're opening the downloaded "Linux/Jar file" from the website as a folder, not as an executable .jar file. Am I correct in thinking that?

[Bolt732]

Correct.

[Zdragow]

Then there's your problem, hoss.

Exit out of the technic-launcher-latest folder. Right click on the file and hover over "Open with", then choose "Select default program..."

Now we have to find the Java SE Binary file. This is easy.

Go to "C:/Program Files(x86)/Java/ [your java 6 or 7 folder here] /bin"

and find the "Java" file. Just the "Java" file. Double-click it.

[Bolt732]

Okay, and now it will run as a program?

[Zdragow]

Let's hope. Now run your now executable .jar file, and hopefully it'll work.

[Bolt732]

A small black screen poppud up with some white letters on it, like a coding sort of thing, it went back down after half a second of so.

[Zdragow]

Is it not doing anything else? Nothing else popping up?

[Bolt732]

Nope. That is it.

[Zdragow]

Before we continue any further, are you absolutely sure you're running 64-bit Java?

[Bolt732]

Let me check.

[Bolt732]

Yes, I am sure. I tried a couple things.

[Zdragow]

Does that include going to the control panel and opening up "Programs and Features", looking in the "J"s and seeing if Java has (64-bit) written next to it?

[Bolt732]

It did not, but I just did that and it it was 64-bit.

[Zdragow]

Alright, good. The only thing I can say for now is try reinstalling Java completely and running "technic-launcher-latest.jar" as an administrator.

Also, try relocating the .jar file in question to the ".techniclauncher" folder in your "Roaming" folder if it's not already there.

[Bolt732]

Okay. I will do just that, and see if it works.

[Zdragow]

Excellent. Hopefully it does; otherwise, I'll be stumped.

[Bolt732]

It flashed the screen with one of the loading screens, to dissapear half a second later saying this: Checking Launcher Version

[Bolt732]

I do believe I have created a unsolvable riddle of code -_-

[Zdragow]

Try using the "technic-launcher.jar" file in your ".techniclauncher" folder again. Not the latest one. I'm not sure why it's not working.

[Bolt732]

That brings up the splash screen that neither loads nor crashes.

[Zdragow]

Welp, I'm stumped then. It should be working.

[Bolt732]

Huh. Wierd.. I will try and find some more fixes. Thank you for your time.

[Zdragow]

Not a problem. I'll see if I can think of any other solutions in the meantime.

[Torezu]

Huh. Wierd.. I will try and find some more fixes. Thank you for your time.

Friendly tip: That quick flash of black command-prompt screen usually means the launcher can't find your Java directory for whatever reason. Try adding Java to your system path variable if it's not already there. Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced tab > Environment variables... > Click on Path and then Edit... > add exactly this to the end of the Variable value (without the quotes): ";C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin"

[Bolt732]

I did try that, the same happened.
