1.3.0 seems to crash. A lot.

[Polpota]

anyone else having a problem with 1.3.0? It seems to keep crashing on launch for me.

Edit: and for those of you who had this problem how did you get it to run?

Edit 2: okay and now 1.2.2 seems to crash on me now as well

Backup your saves and wipe the /bigdig directory, and then run the launcher again. 1.3 isn't even acknowledged on the Technic website so I wouldn't try that build just yet.

it was a windows 8 error for 1.2.2, seems like it thought it was still running. staying clear of 1.3.0 for now

Hey I am having the same problem and was wondering if you could run me through the steps to downgrade back to 1.2.2 I have gotten as far as appdata > local > temp

Assuming you're using Windows 7/8, the bigdig directory should be at 'C:\Users\Specter\AppData\Roaming\.technic\bigdig'. Copy the 'saves' folder to your desktop, delete the 'config' folder, open the Technic launcher and click the little gear under the BigDig logo, make sure 1.2.2 is selected (pushing the button for manually selecting the pack if necessary), click 'Reset Pack' and then click 'Save'. Next time you launch bigdig, it should revert back to 1.2.2. Meddling around in the bigdig directory is honestly probably unnecessary, but it doesn't hurt.

Not really. You might try a clean install - i.e. delete the bigdig folder and have the launcher redownload 1.2.2. Are you getting an error log?

Just like I told the other people ITT, roll back to 1.2.2. BigDig for Minecraft 1.5.2 is launching tomorrow and that might officially be called 1.3, until then 1.2.2 is the best version to run.

Man a lot of people thought it was smart to run the unpromoted development build and got burned. You should not do that.

But, now it's complete: http://www.technicpack.net/article/view/big-dig-132-is-now-recommended.22

Ive tried rolling it back to 1.2.2 but it still sets my minecraft to 1.5.2

[CanVox]

You're doing something wrong, then- I was just able to successfully roll back to 1.2.2.
