Hi. when i click the "FTB_Launcher.jar" file my mac then the archive tool thingy tries to "open" the file and ends up with just making a new file called "FTB_Launcher.jar.cpgz" and not open the FTB. I am on a mac and haven't been able to fix this myself. The weird thing is that I was able to play before but then suddenly i just couldn't play anymore. I would be wery glad if someone could help me.

Hi J-Rad, I too have been having all sorts of issues as of late with my FTB on my Mac. It was working flawlessly then all of a sudden, it wouldn't work at all. Check to see if your java updated maybe. I had to remove Java 7 then go back to jave 6.

Also, for me to launch I had to creat a folder on my desktop, called FTB, put the launcher in in that folder, change the settings in my launcher to save to that folder and then I have this line of code I put in the terminal and hit enter.

export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home
cd ~/Desktop/ftb/
export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home
java -jar FTB_Launcher.jar

When I do this, it starts the launcher and allows me to start up DW20 and play.

Look for posts by " Booker the Geek" , he is very knowledgeable and has some great info. In his sig, he has some links to some helpful stuff.

Hope this helps.
