Title:
FTB Infinity failure to update
Launcher Version:
1.4.7
Modpack:
FTB Infinity
Modpack Version:
1.1.0
Log Link:
Details of the issue:
I'm posting for my friend. His Infinity refuses to update. It is stuck at 1.1.0. Mine has updated just fine and it looks like at some point infinity released a patch that changed the launch screen and my friend never got to that update. It says he has 157 mods while I have 161. We aren't sure how to force it to update. He's running windows 8 just an fyi. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is that the complete log? Also please use pastebin for the log and not a wall of text.

He opened his launcher, launched the game. The console hadn't shown up though so he closed the game, reopened he launcher and copied it's contents and that's what I've linked you here. Does he need to launch the game to get the full console? (Sorry, we're not super computer savvy, my apologies). And I will use pastebin from now on.

Yes, if he closes the launcher then the log will be gone.

Ok, so im clear on what needs to be done, he needs to open the launcher, launch the game, and then once the game has finished loading he needs to copy the contents of the console. Is that correct? Sorry, we've never done this before.

Tell him to make sure that reopen launcher after....minecraft is ticked in the options. Now when the crash happens the launcher will reopen. If this is the full log then tell him to click the drop down box where it usually says recommended and choose the latest version from the list that appears.

If this does not work then delete everything from ftb and start again. He wil need to make a copy of his world save first though. Follow the guide below as it should still be valid.

He has tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times. His game doesn't crash, it just loads out of date mods and doesn't let him in the server. His Infinity is stuck at 1.1.0 instead of 1.6.4 or whatever it is. So basically we just need to know how to force his game to update

Did he try to "fix" launcher by running it with admin rights? Log looks like user do not have write access files in C:\Users\Hexevo\AppData\Local\ftblauncher\ModPacks\ Fix those and pack list updates should work again.

Ok, he just tried running the launcher as admin and launching the game and there was no change. He is the only user on that machine so he has full access to write etc. In the launcher where you can select what mod version to run (1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.7.0, Reccommended, Etc...) his only goes up to 1.2.0 for modpack FTB Infinity whereas mine goes to 1.7.0. So its like the launcher is locked out of going any further than that in terms of updates. He has uninstalled and reinstalled it and still has the same problem. Sorry for this being such a problem but we honestly have no idea what to do at this point and any help you can provide would be very much appreciated! If you ever want to screen share with him to see the problem and get it sorted let me know and that can be arranged. Thanks for you time and I look forward to hearing from you!

Make sure you delete the entire contents of the FTB under c: drive and then when re downloaded goto the options tab and click force update. Let me know if that helps and do the admin thing to lol.

I really feel like there is still FTB related files on the computer then. And I think that it must be remembering what is there and pulling up old files. Also you are welcome if you fix let us know please.
