The ambituous nature of the launcher rewrite has been well publicised for a long, long time.
cold showers man, that's all i can say
Haha yeah, but seriously i cant wait, the 24 hours mark is almost up just 24 more to go
New World here i come! What do you mean?
I have been trying to set up a server and client for 1.6.4 for a while, there is a whole lot of mess with this version of MC and mods..
My PC is a decent PC hone built..
I7 3820, 660 TI OC 16 gigs of ram and a SSD drive..(I mention the drive cause thats is where my folder for MC is.)
Anyway past versions of MC modded like DW 147 and 152 my pc barely noticed anything.. 164 I had to up the memory to 3 gigs and would consistently run past 1.4 gigs running mostly then would get out of memory alot and the vc it runs high with a stock fan it runs worse playing recent MC than while playing a 3d game like sim city, Xcom, GTA or anything...
I am curious to why this is happening..
key you ought to start a thread about the memory stuffs and link people there. I am sure several people would be very interested.
I have had the opposite experience. I play on a laptop with 6 gigs of ram and another two on a secondary graphics card. In 1.47 and 1.5.2 I had some packs that only had 70 or so mods take up to 15 mins to boot up, but with 1.64 I've had less than 5 mins, and little client side lag whilst playing. I've used the vanilla launcher for my 1.64 pack, and the ATLauncher, but haven't tried anything 1.64 on FTb, so I can't verify that I won't have any issues there, but I just find it odd.
I know that SSD drives are supposedly faster, but if your operating system is ran off the same drive, the data throughput of your connections (drive to board or vice versa) may not be sufficient enough to take full advantage of the drive speed. You say you built the computer yourself, maybe that's part of the problem. I've no doubt that you have enough pc knowledge to get good hardware, otherwise you probably wouldn't have taken on the task yourself, however did you have the foresight to think about throughput rates? If building an ultra fast computer was as easy as everybody thinks, everybody would be doing it. There's a reason most people whom build the computers at places like NewEgg and AlienWare have backgrounds in computer science.
Sorry, I put that in the wrong thread. It isn't related to the launcher or mod packs.
A public thread on memory issues, java 7, etc, will be coming once I learn a little more about what I'm talking about -- I don't know enough yet.
My DW20 1.6.4 MOD pack is working great.
My seed let me spawn on a huge mountain next to a very tiny Tinkers village and the massive "live in tree".
Yeah, I saw the two new launchers that started up today...Horizons and Direwolf. Both seemed to be loaded with problems. When I tried...Horizons tries to load and instantly the screen dies. Direwolf I actually get a screeen. It's really close to creating a game, but then that dies. XD
From what I read, it looks like it's trying to load as 1.7.2, and not 1.6.4.
I think I'll give it a few days before trying again. But, hey...it's a start.

I did PM you, I am interested in website development with you guys, and would love to be a part of this if you are still looking for developers.
If you no longer are in need then if you could say then i would appreciate it I am home schooled on PC's.. I used to build them all the time back in the day and maintain them.. THis is a new build I did the last one i did was 06 or something..
I guess we should make a new topic.. derailing this one...
Thanks slowpoke for the update, as always very informative and I look forward to the new launcher

A website has a completely different type of code from a launcher. I personally don't know what code the launcher uses, but I am going to assume that it's mostly java and java has a much different coding language from when you want to code a website to do certain things.[DOUBLEPOST=1386734094][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh come on, all you do is type instructions into a text file, how different is that?
This makes sense because as of what was said before, something (I forgot what) was supposed to come out when minecraft 1.6 came out I think? All I remember really is that it definitely did not come out then. It was just an estimated time period and was way off. (Whatever it is, I think it's been out for 2-3 months now. Sorry for my uncertainty.
I am not stupid.
There are varying degrees of stupidity ranging from ignoramus to emoticon users and arrogant moderators. As a member of the team, you should learn to just let certain comments go, otherwise you get smart asses like me doing things like this to your forum, making your jobs harder, so cut it out.
