Greetings 
I thought I would try the FTB Beta Launcher whilst I had nothing else to do; I understand that it's still in a "test" stage and that there will be problems so I thought I would share some of the problems I have personally experienced with the Beta Launcher so far. If I'm posting in the wrong place or if these problems are already known I apologise; I genuinely did try searching to see if anyone else had posted these problems but after 20 minutes or so of searching I didn't find anything.
Regardless = here's my problems.
1) I use Windows 7 64 bit. OBVIOUSLY I have Java 64 bit.. OBVIOUSLY I have it because I can use "Far" render distance quite easily without any problems. However when I use the Beta FTB launcher it claims I only have 32 bit.
2) I attempted to use a Texture Pack ((Sphax)) but when I loaded a new world, my FPS dropped to 0. Admittedly I don't have the best PC ever; However when playing vanilla SMP Minecraft I have around 50 FPS and that's with a HD TP ((Soartex))
3) Even without using a TP my FPS was still rather low - around 10 to 20 FPS.
4) I saw some really strange terrain formation. Now .. I freely admit that the terrain generation could easily be one of the new biomes introduced with ExtraBiomes, however I spawned in a Jungle biome..so I'm not sure about this but thought I would mention it anyway.
this is what the water in the jungle looked like - very strange indeed.
And this village is smack bang in the middle of the jungle - I'm fairly certain this isn't a new feature of vanilla minecraft - as many of the houses had leaf blocks and vines inside. Could be part of a mod or it could be an error.
Other strangeness included this:
Yeah - those are Grass Blocks at Y11
I'm a mature, responsible adult; I'm not the sort of person to troll or fake something; I assure you these images are genuine. I admit using NEI to enter Creative Mode to take the earlier screenshots but as I was testing the launcher out rather than "using it for real" I don't consider it cheating.
Again if these problems have already been discussed I can only offer my heartfelt apologies - I sincerely hope you take this statement into account when replying to this post; Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
All the best - Zyrandar
