Optifine installing problem

[unlucky47]

Hi!
I have watched a million tutorials on how to install optfine correctly and they all seem to kinda work.
The reason why i say "kinda" is because the optfine aspect of it ( more video settings and increase of frame work ) work except im having allot of update problems. For example if I were to shoot a portal gun it wouldn't show untill i re-log. If i were to break a block next to a water source block, it wouldn't flow. Im just wondering if That is a small defect that i would have to live with or if i have done it wrong?

Added info:
I have removed optifine and the update issue is gone.
I have installed it into mindcrack: FTB

I think the problem is that the current optifine does not support the version of forge that the mod packs are running, it says this on the optifine page(compatible with Forge #518, not compatible with Forge #506-516)

Kinda sucks since I basically need optifine to play x.x

Would it work if I were to use a different version of optifine or go back do a different version of mindcrack?
Also Can i patch ftb instead? I am trying to get sphax to work properly

If you can get a compatible version of forge/optifine it should work but if you down grade ftb to get it to work, some of the mods/crucial updates might not be there. I'm probably gonna have to wait till ftb updates _-_

 

[unlucky47]

This might be a noobish question but when do you think that ftb will make it compatible? because if its months then i would much rather loose the mods then wait?

Sadly, no idea but they are coming out with a new launcher soon™, updated packs "might" come with it.
