anonymous said:Hi,
I had the same issue as a lot of people the you would launch the FTB exe and nothing would happen, in the task manager java would open and close again.
I ran the .jar version of FTB in CMD and found it couldn't find the locale folder.
The local folder should be located:
Win7/8/Vista
C:\Users\<Username>\Appdata\Roaming\ftblauncher
XP (I have not checked this as I dont run XP, have a hunt for it)
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\ftblauncher
Anyway for may solution I found just a .zip called locales.zip in this folder, I simply unzipped this to locales and then removed the "s" from the "locales" folder so it was now "locale" (and then run the launcher).
After this all was well
Another user with the same problem, another here, here, possibly here, , I'll link as many of them as I find to this post.
I've noticed many people having this problem with the 1.1.6 update.
If the above fix is working, great!
However, this issue seems to be rather randomized to who it effects, and might need the attention of some launcher devs to figure it out. (I can't figure it out, there doesn't seem to be a common denominator)

I am on Windows XP and was encountering this problem as well.
The directory I needed to navigate to was C:\Documents and Settings\[myname]\Application Data\ftblauncher
From this path i created a subfolder named locale
I then opened C:\Documents and Settings\[myname]\Application Data\ftblauncher\locales.zip and copied all the files to the folder C:\Documents and Settings\[myname]\Application Data\ftblauncher\locale
The the launcher worked for the first time ever.

I'll ask that anyone else encountering this problem could please post a link to their support thread here, or in one place (and this thread on any support requests that are found, since the solution is here).
The more consolidated the problem reports, hopefully the easier it will be for the launcher team to pinpoint the problem. (Yes, they know about it, and are working on it )

)Is it already online? Because I update my launcher today(on kubuntu 12.10, java 7) and it's not working at all!
Edit: Sory I already got the fix, I just needed to update java to java 8...
Um, why not just download Java 7 from oracle? Minecraft hasn't been written to be compatible with java 8, let alone the launcher.
I think you're just asking from problems running the launcher with a beta java

This issue was fixed a few updates ago I believe. Currently there seems to be either a new issue with the launcher connecting to creeperhost or an issue with creeperhost allowing the download.
