So my launcher wouldn't open and using the troubleshooting guide, I found out that my java version 8u66 was the problem. I had recently updated from 8u65 to 8u66, so reverting back to 8u65 fixed it and the launcher opened again. I'm just posting this here for reference in case anyone else has the same issue.

If this is in the wrong section, sorry about that. I didn't want to submit a ticket because technically I fixed my issue.

Can you describe the issue? Log from the issue?

When I would double click FTB_Launcher.exe (no shortcut) it just wouldn't open. No window opened at all. Did it with Task Manager opened and two new tasks would open and then immediately closed. The day before the issue I had played with 8u66 and everything was fine, then yesterday the launcher wouldn't open. Still opening today with 8u65. Both 8u66 and 8u65 are 64-bit versions of Java as well.

As for a log, I don't think I have any.
