Title:
Launcher crashing before game can launch [solved for now]
Launcher Version:
V1.48
Modpack:
FTB Lite 3 / FTB Vanilla +
Modpack Version:
V 1.3.0 / V1.0.0
Log Link:
Details of the issue:
I updated my Java last night, and since updating, I haven't been able to get either of the above modpacks running. Or maybe anything through this launcher. I'm not exactly sure what might have happened besides something with the Java Update.

Yes, I am pretty sure. I have been running Windows 10 for weeks, I've played Minecraft from the normal launcher since I upgraded, and I was playing FTB Lite 3 on a server Last Night before I updated Java. Since that update, I haven't been able to get any modpack to run in the FTB launcher. Basic Minecraft from its Mojang supplied launcher works fine.

[17:52:57] [Client thread/ERROR]: Couldn't set pixel format
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated
at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsPeerInfo.nChoosePixelFormat(Native Method) ~[lwjgl-2.9.1.jar:?]
On my opinion it's video drivers. try update them

I just got done looking at my display drivers. They are up to date, and there were no updates installed at the time when I updated Java.

Well, since there were no additional responses, I reinstalled my graphics drivers, there is no change in the launcher. I am getting the same error as before. Can anyone suggest anything else at all?

One last thing, that may or may not help. Since FTB stopped working, I attempted to run the technic launcher as well. The technic launcher also does not launch. The latest builds of minecraft runs, but neither technic nor feed the beast can launch.

Interesting. Which java version does that use? Does it use java 8u25?

Can you try installing older java from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html try u31, u40 or u25. I've seen one similar case when downgrading java fixed that lwjgl error => worth of trying.

Also please post output of dxdiag command: http://wizards.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1271 , share dxdiag.txt with us.

Well, your suggestion of downgrading Java seems to have worked for now.I had upgraded to Java 8 update 60, installing Java 8 update 51 and running that seems to have fixed my issue for now.
