hey guys...
i just upgraded to Windows 8.
Had trouble getting tekkit installed (wouldnt let me install .net framework 3.5, but i got there in the end...)
i can now log in and play tekkit on other servers but whenever i try to login to crazy fools i get
java.net socket exception.
any thoughts?
First thing to check windows8 is 64bit only i think. Make sure you install 64bit java, too
thnx, but i would assume the prboblem is specific to the crazy fools server as i can login fine on other servers?
Have you tried loggin onto vanilla just to check?
hmmm yep, im on the vanilla server ok. still not the tekkit server tho
Download one of the different versions of tekkit and try that ?
Are you using tekkit directly? or logging in through the technic pack launcher. I have Windows 8 64bit and my install ran fine first time on both servers. I am using the technic pack launcher and have both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of java installed.
Mine ran fine, I'll have to look up which Java I installed but I use the tekkit "jar" not the EXE version.
I play tekkit rarely is it possible that the tekkit you installed is more updated than CFUK?
Unlikely Michael - as when you run the technic launcher, it will ask you to install updates just like minecraft (vanilla) does when you log in. I have not seen any updates in the last month so I doubt that's the problem :S
tekkit update = tekkit lite
so maybe he is using lite instead of classic
FWIW I have seen a borked tekkit installation, it just needed going into %appdata% and deleting the game folders to force the launcher to reload stuff.
just gave that a go. - deleted and reinstalled -
internal exception: java.net.socket.exception still.
ach well.
Whats the URL your using?
so it turns out, my delorian was only outputting 21.0 gigawatts so my flux capacitor didnt have the necessary power to propel my tekkit to 88mph. its all solved now, and im back on the server. hide yo wives, hide yo kids.
yea... where on the website does it mention the suffix for the tekkit server!?
