When I launch I get a black screen and then closes with no error (Mac problem)

[Argosto 0]

Upon start up of my TFC Launcher It downloads and runs just fine but when It begins to open up minecraft it appears as a black screen for a few seconds and then closes. I am playing on a Macintosh and recently installed the latest version of Java Development Kit. I was able to play before that.

This is what my terminal says after it closes:

If anyone could help it is much apreciated

From a quick Google search of "lookup of function JAWT_GetAWT failed" it appears that the problem is caused by using java 7; and reverting back to java 6 should fix it. I know nothing about macs though so I'm not much help. From what I've read you need to launch it with the -nojvm command in your terminal. Something along the lines of

$ java -jar TFCLauncher.jar -nojvm

Once again I'm not super familiar with macs, so I don't know how to help more than that.

I think its due to me updating my Java SDK

Hi Argosto,

 

I think the TFC launcher might not be working since you are unable to download it from the website. I could be completely wrong but I am sure the TFC launcher links with the website and if it unable to connect you might be getting that error. I know that MultiMC support OSX and you can download that along with TFCraft-Universal-Core, Player API, and Forge 7.7.2.679. That would work for you. If you would like I can get that set up for you and post it in my current work around post for the TFCraft launcher. Just send my a PM and I will get it set up for you.

[update]

 

I my pack was remove. I guess it did not meet some the the copyright standers. So all you would need to do is download MultiMC with the needed files ( Player API,  Forge 7.7.2.679, and TFCraft-Universal-Core) make sure all files are for 1.5.1

Let me know if there is anything else I can help out with.

TFC has now upgraded to Build 77 and uses Minecraft 1.6.2

 

Please try the new version to see if you're still getting the same error.
