It finds your friends in Battle.net by opening the running process and digging through memory manually to identify the list. I found it to be a potential concern due to the technology that companies like Blizzard and Valve use to detect potential cheats or exploits.

FTB Forums and MCF have been around since before Curse became involved so I don't think that's really comparable. I personally don't mind the logging into their launcher aspect though, but maybe I'm looking at it from a modder point of view compared to a player, since I need an account to post...

That's what's odd about it to me. Curse seemed to go out if its way to satisfy Mojang by using Mojang's own launcher, which maybe gives an impression that they care about your privacy/security. Yet after poking around CurseVoice's Friend Sync I found that they don't mind to probe your...

If the Linux version ends up being anything like the Windows version, then you'll have multiple code sources and executables. The back-end is primarily a lot of C#, with a few native third-party DLLs. The front-end is Electron, a Chromium-based browser package designed specifically for...

1.9.4 is fairly compatible with 1.10, but if you're making a large project then here's no point in spending time in 1.9.x.

Have you ever seen how fast they run? No sooner than you realize they're there they can be gone and hiding again.

No idea if the Curse people check this forum. Though I agree, the "invalid password" thing is a potential security risk. The launcher installs itself in your Application Data, which, again, I agree is kind of silly and requires multiple installs if there are multiple users on a machine. It's...

I don't typically browse the crash reports. Lucky for him that it's a common issue then!

That's a new one for me. I'm assuming you're on a laptop or netbook or something. If you have a secondary video card in the machine, which many do (AMD or NVidia), then you have to get it to use that for the game. If you don't know how, someone else can probably explain, I've never done it...

Minecraft used to have a vector pool as well and in some cases forced you to allocate Vector3s from there, to reduce garbage collection. That has since been eliminated.

1.10 is officially out. I expected at least another week since they just released a pre2 yesterday, but nope!

Mojang's biggest problem is the constant internal changes rather than actually focusing on the content. Nothing added in 1.8, 1.9, and now 1.10 snapshots have required any of the major overhaul that they continue to make to the game. Stuff like separating item and block color overrides into an...

I'm half expecting MCP to dump a load of mappings changes in again, like they did with 1.9.4. Not sure why they bother with SRG names if we need to physically update mods at every point release again.

It's a content update more than anything, which is actually refreshing for a change. I didn't do hardly anything to get my 1.9.4 Meddle stuff working on 1.10.

They've already released a few snapshots, this is a pre-release. That means you can expect it to be final in less than a month, most likely.

Basically this. Nothing will come of it. Even if the worst case scenario came out that Curse fired them without notice and that it only hired them to convince the community to get on board, it wouldn't change anything. It's not even the worst of the rumors we've heard about Curse. Besides...

I'm not even sure if it's safe to assume that they were fired, or whether it was unforeseen, given the differing reactions. I have a feeling that Curse acquires temporary employees as they migrate into new territories, people familiar with the way things work, at least until they become...

I would be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with the initial post assuring us that FTB is all well. But after the discussion began and Vazkii kinda ripped into him, he wanted to take it private, which has about as much grace as a walrus at feeding time if you're trying to convince a...

Everyone I've personally talked to from Curse seemed like decent folks, so on a personal level I can't judge. And granted, these folks weren't in executive positions. But then there's all the stories and rumors and accusations, from as far back as when they hired Dinnerbone. Things which...

I've been giving Linux a try on the desktop every few years since the late 90s, when it took days to download CD images over 56k and half an hour to burn them. I always felt that same "maybe this time" sense of optimism. But it's never offered a satisfactory experience on par with Windows. It...
