I've Screwed Myself

[Darkling54]

I got on the launcher and it said I was using an outdated version of java. So I installed java 7 and got rid of java 6 thinking everything was fine and dandy. I was wrong. When I tried opening the launcher it said that I didn't have java and it directed me to the page I'd just installed java 7 on. I don't know what to do and I really love ftb so any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Darkling

Ehm we are talking PC here right? Don't see why it wouldn't work with Java 7. Think everyone is using Java 7 now, I am at least. Are you sure you installed the right version? 64bit?

DArkling, there is already Java 8.Also try Java 8 instead of 7.

Do NOT try 8 instead of 7, 8 is buggier IIRC.

Could just be that your PC is not recognizing Java

That was it. Thanks for all the suggestions.

The java website installs 32bit java. You have to manually install 64bit.

In my experience, I've actually had less problems with 8 then 7.

I've never tried 8, but 7 I guess is fine for me? Hell if I know I don't experience massive issues with it if that counts, best fps I have ever gotten with Java 7 no params and optifine ultra on 1.6.4 is about 750 ish. Doesn't last long after you start making massive buildings and factories.

I'll just go and get depressed in the bar over there now....

best i had was 50.... and that is after the memory upgrade to 8 gigs... no optifine though...

 

[Shevron]

Java 8 kept acting weird. I rolled back to 7.

 

[Cptqrk]

Optifine can be soo hit or miss, I enjoyed using it for Vanilla, but for mods.. /shrug

Oh, Thread did not deliver implied topic..

I did have to manually install 64 bit.

I'm not sure if java is doing this, but the game will close if I try to load a simple flat world. It's pretty ridiculous.

Holy shit!

depends on the browser you use, a 32 bit browser (like FF) will try only 32 bit while a 64 bit browser will use the 64 bit installer unless you specify the bitness manually

It sounds like you are running out of memory...

Is there a fix for this?

How much do you have allocated to the game?

 

[Darkling54]

How much do you have allocated to the game?

3.25. That's the most I can

 

[rhn]

3.25. That's the most I can

First of, more is not better. 3GB is what you would give something like Monster while using a medium/highres texturepack. Unless you are doing that, back it down to 2-2.5GB

Second, why cant you allocate more?(Not that you should!)

 

[Darkling54]

The slider won't go any farther. I know that's a stupid answer but I don't really know anything more than that.
