Cant download new launcher

[Mtshaw113]

So I had the launcher since it came up, and i wanted to update(since it said there was an update) and when i exited the launcher and re-opened it, it asked if i would like to update and i clicked "Yes" and In the console it says " [ERROR] Failed to download launcher update" and thast it. It wont do anything. Just gonna chill there. It doesnt crash so theres no log

Edit by Punny Bunny: Merged due to same issue: Can't update launcher. This is likely caused by the immense load on the FTB servers (many members are reporting the ability to download it successfully now).

whenever I turn on the launcher a window pops up and says "A new launcher version is available" I say yes and it closes so when I turn it on again it just keeps saying that, in the log window that pops up it says in red error when updating and I've tried multiple times

Many of us are having the same problem. I'm not sure, but I think it may have something to do with: [FTB Launcher IRC :: Current version is 1.0.3 (with an overloaded server) :: MAC: JAVA 7 BREAKS YOU, USE 6 :: FAQ: http://tinyurl.com/9a895t7 Report Issues: http://tinyurl.com/d7oa43g Launcher Download: http://www.feed-the-beast.com/ :: Please be Patient and Use this Channel For FTB Launcher Related Problems.]

(That's from the top of the IRC)

The new launcher is a the updatetemp folder that is created

Thanks guys but SchizoidApollo was right,I just moved the launcher in the update temp folder to the main directory and it works fine

 

[SchizoidApollo]

Although the new version seems to be having problems anyways

 

[Jordan Monaghan]

Yes I have been re-lauching to test the past half hour or so, and around 1 out of 8 times it works. Very faulty but i'm sure its just temporary. I wont lose my world will I?

 

[Ashzification]

Take the save folder out of your "Saves" and you won't

 

[SchizoidApollo]

Save your world in a temporary spot until this issue is solved

Thanks for all your awesome advice, its the first time I have used this forum and I look forward to many more visits in the future. It appears that it is still faulty, I will try to report what I can. After this I will start making daily backups from now on. Thanks again for the all the support I really appreciate it.

Going to have to give it time guys. Try doing something else for the time being Read a book

 

[SchizoidApollo]

How about we all take turns downloading the modpacks

 

[Jordan Monaghan]

Read a book! The first time I discovered Minecraft was the last time I remember reading a book, and discovering feed the beast will be the last time I ever read a book!

 

[Mtshaw113]

I fixed it somehow. or the server stopped being overloaded? I dont know oh well

 

[Ashzification]

Well that's good! I'll be trying again tomorrow

A good time to watch some of direwolf20's mod spotlights. I need to learn a thing or 3 on these new and updated mods I'm playing with.
