Modpacks dont load. just says Add new pack! even the included ones!

jeff5556 · May 8, 2013

Launcher Version: 236

Operating System: Windows 8

Java Version: 7u21

Antivirus Program: unknown

Description of Problem:

I got a new laptop and installed java and the technic launcher in the latest versions. when I open the launcher all the mudpack slots say loading until I click on one or try to scroll through them. when I do they all turn into "Add new pack" slots. even the included packs because I don't use custom modpacks.

Error Messages:

none

Try running in Admin mode?

jeff5556 · May 9, 2013

I already did it doesn't work. Sorry should have included that.

jeff5556 · May 9, 2013

I used a flash drive to transfer my tekkit stuff from my old computer to my new one and got the texture packs to load. However I can only play in offline mode because it doesent let me connect to Minecraft.net

Damn, tried that too. WHEN WILL THE FUCKING ADMINS RESPOND?????????

MagicianX26 · May 20, 2013

HELLO? ANY ONE CAN HELP US???

When they decide you're fun enough to make fun of you.

HELLO? ANY ONE CAN HELP US???

I can help the op, not you. You have a different problem.

@OP: the launcher can't connect to the internet. You either have to give java internet access or disable your antivirus/firewall for the launcher to load up properly.

JGtheking · May 21, 2013

I'm having this very same problem and my log says pretty much the same things yours says. And its really weird because I've been using the technic launcher for weeks now and this problem came out of nowhere. Have you managed to fix it?

Ember57 · August 4, 2013

I Hate This Error! I Have Had It For Months On End!! If Anyone Can Help Me, I Really Need It, Along With Everyone Else With This Issue.

I have same problem as you!

I was fighting this issue for a few hours, and I found a solution that worked for me. Hopefully it will work for some others as well.

It appears to be an issue with how the launcher uses Java. I couldn't figure out any way to change things using the TechnicLauncher.exe, so I downloaded the TechnicLauncher.jar file. This file is available from the downloads page using the Linux link.

Wonder of wonders, I ran it and it worked.

If it doesn't work for you right off the bat, then at least you can run it using a specific java install and setting other parameters. Best of luck to everyone.

Follow-up: It turns out that the problem is with Java defaulting to IPv6 which is causing network connection issues. I've tried a variety of ways to fix this, but the most effective seems to be setting an environment variable to tell Java to use IPv4. You can do this by following these steps:

Click start
Right click on Compter and choose properties
In the left column, click Advanced system settings
Choose the Advanced tab
Click the Environment Variables button
Under System variables, click New
Set Variable name to _JAVA_OPTIONS
Set Variable value to -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Close all windows you've opened

Hope this helps resolve the problem. Good luck.
