Launcher Version 4.205 Is Live

The Technic Launcher v4.205 is now promoted to stable, and you will download it the next time you run your launcher locally. This version of the launcher includes a fix to ensure that only the Technic Platform version of pack art is used. Previously, there was a bug which caused Solder icons to be used where available, and in some rare cases, other Solder-hosted art assets would be used as well. This completes an arc of changes that began a couple days ago, in which we've moved to only using Platform-hosted art assets for all Technic packs, for both the website and the launcher. If you are a pack author who uses Solder, this should reduce your hosting bills somewhat, as well as make the process of developing art assets for your Platform pack more straightforward. If you have a Solder server, we recommend that you continue to host art assets on it, for the benefit of other launchers with Solder support, such as MultiMC.

If you are a pack author who is hosting your pack on Solder, we highly recommend that you develop and upload pack art in the new dimensions to the Platform ASAP. Packs with art not only look better and get more attention, they're also eligible to be selected by our algorithm to appear in the "trending packs" list in the Technic Launcher. Being on this list can bring literally thousands of potential users to your landing page, so it's a pretty big deal!

As you no doubt notice, several changes have gone live in the four days since Technic Launcher v4 was first available. Chiefly, these changes have consisted of caching improvements to reduce load on our website and everyone's Solder. Some improvements have also been made to the way the launcher reacts when certain web services are unavailable. Lastly, we snuck in a single fix to the way the launcher downloads assets for older versions of Minecraft, which should fix an issue in which some users were not hearing sounds in older packs.

We hope you enjoy the new Platform, and we'll continue to keep you up to date about improvements to the site and the Launcher. We're still working to improve performance on the website, which today will include some major upgrades to our server hardware, so hang tight!

Tekkit, or any modpack for that matter, doesn't open. It says that it tries to unpack the .zip file but that it doesnt exist. Something is off with the new update

I have got a solution for almost everyone here on how to fix your launcher if it keeps closing when you click play all you have to do is oped the wheel under the mod you want and download what this guy posted on this website , but before i tell you this I don't have a mac and this still worked just follow what bochen415 said forums.technicpack.net/tracker/issue-3983-packs-launching-then-crashing-mac/ If this didin't solve it I don't know what will

I can't run the MAC launcher, and the linux launcher tells me I need to install the java runtime environment, but that doesn't help, even when I do install the link it sends me to.

I really enjoy the new launcher, but I cannot open it whatsoever. I specifically have to go to the download page on technic, download it and run it from there. When I press save and try to run it off of my desktop or via a shorcut, it doesn' load whatsoever. Any way to fix this?

Whenever i download a new mod pack and press play, it finishes and either opens a brief MC window than shuts down or doesn't open at all. Most of the mod packs that were already installed before the update are also not working. I think it was a better idea to keep the *Add new mod pack tab*. I literally can not enjoy the gaming experience as the MC launcher won't open(Not the technic launcher, the MC one, where u can actually play on servers.)

I can help you with that one Basicly the mod pack is running a mod that is not compatible with the mod pack minecraft version if it is your own modpack then make sure all mods are compatible with the forge version or what ever mod loader your using and make sure they are compatible with the minecraft version of the modpack if it isn't your own modpack contact the modpack owner to fix the problem tell them to do what I just said
