    FTB Launcher News

    I would be far happier with that requirement if the new mojang launcher was being planned for Linux too, because people will have to use the old one, or the new one and if they use the new one(that is not yet launched) it's even more reason to keep us Linux users from it.

    FTB Launcher News

    Multimc is an alternate launcher, but is no substitute for ftb_launcher, there is no easy way to do even half what the ftb launcher do(regarding fetching files, and finding news packs) on multimc. Also: even though the script can be used, it is not a really friendly way to do things, It would...

    Believe me it's AUR, there is even repos in there for things on github that have not got to an alpha version yet.

    FTB Launcher News

    Well there is the Alpha(Without video and almost everything else) I don't use PC as a phone, but I like to play on a small server and talk to my brother trough the microphone. I was using Hangout, but for some reason both chrome and chromium are closing after a time with no message or...

    FTB Launcher News

    I have to make a small confession: I was really angry with the change to curse launcher on the beginning, but when/if they ever manage to make a version for Linux that has Curse Voice, and Curse Voice is less shitty than Skype is now(which is not really hard) I may get to like the new launcher...

    FTB Launcher News

    Of course they don't have to, but they promised several times that a Linux solution would be available and not fulfilling with that would taint even more the trust the community has put on them. C++ is a programming language that can make program for all(at least AFAIK) operational systems...

    FTB Launcher News

    They would have to offer something like it IF Curse doesn't get a Linux version. I know they said they are "starting to test the viability of a Linux version"(whatever that means, go figure), but as far as I know we only have their word which is as much evidence as the update to Xycraft had and...

    FTB Launcher News

    Well some weeks ago slowpoke said he would change it, and then never answered anymore. That was on a reddit thread. Since then he stopped answering anything there and no change was made, so... Yes I read, considering what I said about the changes, how they are answering things, and the fact...

    FTB Launcher News

    I still think it is really weird (and confusing for new users) to name the Linux version "Legacy" when it is the only official way to play it. It seems to me like they are abandoning and it is only supported for a time and will vanish as soon as they stop with the launcher.

    Linux Support and Curse

    Curse clients crash on Wine, I would have to buy a Windows copy to use it(not gonna happen) or use the program that you mentioned, that has a lot of work to make function which would frighten new users. I would never mention Curse(or ftb) to anyone, because I would already have mentioned Linux...

    Linux Support and Curse

    The last is only if they continue not offering anything now. There are several packs with no support to Linux not even download of a zip. From the top 10 on Curse 4 have no support to Linux(not even a zip download) and 2 don't mention anything, although they have a zip download for the server...

    Linux Support and Curse

    But the problems here are: There is no information regarding the future of Linux support; The actual way to provide Linux support is hard on both players and modpack creators; The way to provide support for Linux is not simple, neither it is automatic. Every pack creator has to take a set of...

    Linux Support and Curse

    So Is there any new regarding support for Linux when the migration for the Curse Launcher arrives? It's been a long time and nothing has been said. just to point a few things, let's skip any speculation, and talk only about published facts. Hopes and "I have inside information that I cannot say...

    3rd Party Modpack Syncing to Curseforge

    Okay, you deleted my answer and I don't have anyway to recover it, so thank you very much... Now Hambeau is being on topic but I'm not, even tough we are talking about the same thing...

    3rd Party Modpack Syncing to Curseforge

    So to summarize, no evidence of anything. Until stated otherwise you have to say what the official position is, if you don't you'll make unaware people hopeful of something that can never happen. The official and only documented statement is that there is no plan for a Linux launcher. If and...

    3rd Party Modpack Syncing to Curseforge

    Yeah but the Curse representative was very clear that it wasn't in any plans. He said: So a launcher is not on planning, unless you have some new evidence. I would be glad to see it.

    3rd Party Modpack Syncing to Curseforge

    I never said that it was. I am just clarifying the mistake of someone thinking that the curse launcher is being developed to Linux. It isn't. Curse launcher will replace ftblauncher and an "alternative solution" will be made for Linux. This "alternative solution" has yet to be clarified since...

    3rd Party Modpack Syncing to Curseforge

    So, never? They already said several times that there is no plan for a Linux version, not in middle and not in long term. That's why I am fazing out from FTB and already don't play the new packs from Jaded.

    Curse Client, FTB Packs and Linux

    The party analogy is wrong it should go like this: We have regular parties with 500 guests, 5 of them are vegetarians and we always have made vegetarian meals for them. We decided that they aren't worth the work and scrapped the vegetarian meal but said to them they can: a) eat meat or b) fix...
