[Ashzification]

Did you try the solutions in the common problems and solutions thread?

[gevalo1]

yep, non worked

[Ashzification]

Well, in that case, use the search bar, and search "splash screen frozen"

Redownloading usually helps most people too.

Thanks Ashzification I found a solution:

Make a .batch file with:

mkdir %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\temp

"C:\program files\java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx1G -jar %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher.jar

Just one thing:

The first time I start the launcher I can login and everything works,

the second time the launcher can't connect to minecaft.net and the tumblr feed is down.

You can fix it by deleting your lastlogin file in .techniclauncher

Now my question is if there is a beter way, so you don't have to delete the lastlogin file

everytime?

[Ashzification]

Turn off all firewalls/antivirus

[gevalo1]

That didn't work :/

[gevalo1]

Do you have another solution?

Or someone else?
