Installing java seven makes server work but launcher fail.

[sadie12]

Okay I saw some of this mentioned in the thread marked read 8344 times so I will probably be yelled at, but since reading that thread over and over didn't help me any I will ask it and risk it.

I have always albeit lazily run a 32 bit java on my computer, java 6 and happily used the technic client on java 6 but the second I update my java to java 7 64 bit as I am prompted to use the server it runs the server, albeit it lets no one on it, and it makes all clients unable to connect to minecraft.net.

A few questions:

- Have you read the mandatory bug report format thread?

- Are you talking about clients on the same computer as the server, or different computers? If they're on the same computer, something's probably wrong with where your launcher is or how you're using it, since the server works (and thus Java is okay).

- Have you removed Java 6 after installing 7? It can cause its own set of problems if you leave it hanging around.

- What do you mean by "lets no one on it?"

- Are you aware that reading a thread over and over doesn't actually accomplish anything? You have to try stuff. :)

ALright I have tried multiple things by this point, and yes when using java seven I have made sure to completely remove java 6, the server is on the same computer as the client and updating to java seven makes any client vannilla and the technic launcher unable to connect to minecraft.net. I actually downgraded back down to six last night after all the problems because 6 seems to be more usable. So I defintly tried many things after reading the thread to no avail. And the sever runs but doesn't allow anyone to connect to it because I don't think it can check minecraft.net either.

Os: Windows 7 64bit

I think it's funny how you answered all my questions except the first one. Try running the server on Java 7 and the client on Java 6. It has been shown to have working results for other people.

This sounds exactly like a problem I've had since starting technic, server runs and shows up on other users multiplayer screens but just times out when you try to connect. It's a weird one I never managed to resolve, so to run the server you've got to lose the client it seems.

[freakachu]

the other option is to run the client with 6 and the server with 7. it's doable with a simple batch file (2 lines)

[sadie12]

Yeah I'm not skilled in writing java but the thing is even with 7 the server does not accept people onto it.

Do you still have your java 6? If you do, try this.

-Create a shortcut of the jar file.

-Go to properties of the shortcut

-Under 'Target:' type this

"<where ever your java 6 is install in your comp>\java.exe" -jar "where ever it is targeted to originally"

-Run the SHORTCUT
