Mac Mavericks - Direwolf 1.6.4 - Wont load (+more)

[Blackbook]

Hi all.

I'm new to Mac, but not new to FTB. I'm currently on holiday and have taken my mac with me (foolish). I was trying to get the new 1.6.4 DW20 pack to run on Maverick and after about 7 hours am about to throw it out the window.

I've read that there is a java problem with maveric that means I need to either rever to 6 (which doesn't work) or update my lwjgl files. The problem is, after looking and searching and many-many redownloads of the mod pack the /minecraft/bin folder simply does no exist on a mac.

I'm able to get vanilla 1.7 minecraft to run. It runs a treat.
I've tried creating the /bin folder manually in my direwolf20/minecraft folder to no avail...
I've tried simply putting the files (in the correct folder confiuration) in the direwolf20 folder...

it's all a waste of time. The pages are so outdated or shit I can't make any sense of them.

I'm currently on mavericks with BOTH java 6 and java 7 installed. I have re-downloaded and forced another update and it still wont load.

Can someone write in plain english how to get this to work on MAC MAVERICK.

thank you.

Please link to where you got that information so it can be changed. It should have said that you NEED Java 7 if you have Maverick not that you need to revert back to Java 6. The 1.6.4 packs have updated to 2.9.0 since minecraft 1.6.4 updated it so you do not need to worry about that if you are using the 1.6.4 packs. Please install Java 7 update 45 and ensure that you do not have any other version or update of Java installed.

If after doing that you are still experincing problems please click the 'Paste my log to pastebin.com' button on the console. This will create a link at the bottom of the console to the where the log was saved. Post the link here so we can see your log and hopefully find the reason for your problems. Look here so your log does not get deleted within 24 hours.

Hi Blackbook, have you found a solution yet? I am having the same problem. Thanks. I just discovered that if you click "launch" and let the launcher appear to do nothing for a while, the game will launch within 5 minutes. In other words, click launch and wait. It may work for you too.
