Java Error -1712 on a MAC

[Iceburg]

Hello! 

 

Yesterday I tried to start the technic launcher, but got an error message instead of the regular screen.

I'm not getting this error in my regular minecraft launcher, which runs as it always did. 
I was told that this error is caused by the latest version of java (Java 8), which is the one running on my mac, but I don't know how to downgrade it nor if this will solve the problem.

 

Can anybody help me? 

 

Thanks for reading!

Uninstall java 8

Restart PC

Install java 7u71 https://www.java.com/en/download/manual_java7.jsp

 

you're not getting this error on vanilla minecraft because vanilla is not running Forge. Forge is the glue that makes modpacks exist.

I am actually running forge on vanilla launcher. I have Gammabright, InventoryTweaks, and Optifine installed. This error is also happening to my pirate mc launcher, but I will try to do the step by step and will answer back if I succeeded or failed. Thanks!

It indeed worked! Thanks! Someone bring this man a cookie!
