Title: Tekkit opens then closes.

Version: 3.1.2

OS: Mac OSX 10.8.2

Java Version: Version 7 Update 9 (build 1.7.0_09-b05)

Description of Problem:

I'm able to launch the technic launcher, WIth tekkit selected I login. Once logged in Tekkit Appears for about 2 seconds before disappearing. I've tried removing the technic launcher folder, no change. I also tried using the .jar file after reading up on similar issues which had no effect.

Error Messages:

Error Log:

Delete your .techniclauncher folder and download and use the Linux / .Jar version.

[Mrpenguin]

[Mrpenguin]

Thanks for the reply, Yeah I removed the 'technic launcher' folder and restarted tekkit and tried using the linux version(jar) . All this occurred either when I upgraded to 12GB of ram or when I installed eclipse + java JDK. I did both within a similar timeframe.

:P my tekkit will never work grrr

I got around the issue using a Parallels VM, It's not the best method but it works. Suppose I'l be playing tekkit on Windows more often :D

I am having a similar issue where I have to launch the launcher twice and I tried the linux method above which seamed to work great but then it started to crash randomly after about a week:( what makes mine more crazy is that the first time I bring a world up It says I am out of ram but the 2nd time it comes up just fine...just my luck. Maybe I will try Lukes idea as well

Not sure if this is relevant any longer, but you can go into terminal and type:

cd desktop (enter)

export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

java -jar technic-launcher-latest.jar (enter)

make sure techninc launcher is named and technic-launcher-latest.jar from the terminal entrance are the same. and make sure you're techinc launcher is on your desktop.

Sadly I cant test if that fix works as I reinstalled my mac, the reinstall fixed it so not sure what the issue was.

Thanks anyway!
