Launcher Version 4.205 Is Live

The Technic Launcher v4.205 is now promoted to stable, and you will download it the next time you run your launcher locally.  This version of the launcher includes a fix to ensure that only the Technic Platform version of pack art is used.  Previously, there was a bug which caused Solder icons to be used where available, and in some rare cases, other Solder-hosted art assets would be used as well.  This completes an arc of changes that began a couple days ago, in which we've moved to only using Platform-hosted art assets for all Technic packs, for both the website and the launcher.  If you are a pack author who uses Solder, this should reduce your hosting bills somewhat, as well as make the process of developing art assets for your Platform pack more straightforward.  If you have a Solder server, we recommend that you continue to host art assets on it, for the benefit of other launchers with Solder support, such as MultiMC.  

If you are a pack author who is hosting your pack on Solder, we highly recommend that you develop and upload pack art in the new dimensions to the Platform ASAP.  Packs with art not only look better and get more attention, they're also eligible to be selected by our algorithm to appear in the "trending packs" list in the Technic Launcher.  Being on this list can bring literally thousands of potential users to your landing page, so it's a pretty big deal!

As you no doubt notice, several changes have gone live in the four days since Technic Launcher v4 was first available.  Chiefly, these changes have consisted of caching improvements to reduce load on our website and everyone's Solder.  Some improvements have also been made to the way the launcher reacts when certain web services are unavailable.  Lastly, we snuck in a single fix to the way the launcher downloads assets for older versions of Minecraft, which should fix an issue in which some users were not hearing sounds in older packs.

We hope you enjoy the new Platform, and we'll continue to keep you up to date about improvements to the site and the Launcher.  We're still working to improve performance on the website, which today will include some major upgrades to our server hardware, so hang tight!

Whenever i install a modpack it goes through everything and then says "installing minecraft assets", this either gets to 1, 2 or 3% or it simply stays on 0. sometimes it says "download error (weird link) PLease Consult modpack author" this is specifically for "crafting dead offical" modpack

Is there a way to play tekkit without the technic launcher? It worked once and then im getting all sorts of errors. Most of the time it's just refreshing on play and nothing opens, and other times it gives me extracting errors so i'm done with this amateuristic program.

U want killin' me? This update is not really stable than this new version kills the performance on my pc. this fuckin launcher eats to many performances, freezing desktop for few seconds and the best is, java suck it to: http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150103/f6hfavqd.png the old launcher needs up to maximum 400.000K and now x3. I reinstall Tekkit-lite and an can't not playin in the fullscreen-mode, java does crashed than when i will switched to fullscreen. The console say' s whe i installed the tekkit-lite: [B#211] File version.json not found in C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Roaming\.technic\modpacks\tekkitlite\bin\modpack.jar. Please go back to the old configuration launcher there was runs better.
