[SOLVED] Unable to start from Launcher

[Latias4Ever 1]

I downloaded the Launcher and tried to install the game after logging in, it seemed to install perfectly, but once it finished, the Launcher just closed and the game wouldn't start, and it keeps doing it.

The installation location is the default "%appdata%/tfcraft/minecraft", and the minimum memory allocation is the default 512 MBs and the maximum is 1024 MBs. I'm running Windows XP 32-bit, with 4 GBs of RAM, and the latest version of Java.

I've searched for solutions, and attempted following advice in various topics, but the problem persists. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Solved! Here's what solved the problem:

I had to delete the installation folder, and the launcher, then redownloaded the launcher and installed the game again, FML loaded up, and the game works now!

I'd start by confirming your minimum and maximum memory allocations. I know you provided them, but 32-bit Java will give that exact behavior if your max is set to 1.5 gig or higher. It's the only situation I know of that triggers that pattern.

No actual error message or anything... Just click Login, Launcher shuts down, game never loads.

Good luck

I checked the allocation, 512-1024, I click OK, and press login, it says "Logging in" for a long while, then the Launcher closes, game never starts, just like you said. Nothing else comes up. I have no idea what's causing this, I haven't played Minecraft in almost a year, and I last played in 1.2.5, but I doubt that's what's causing it.

Yeah, it's hard to say whats going on since there's no crash and no detailed error log. As I mentioned, I had that same experience for a while and it was crazy finding a cause. In the end, I got lucky and noticed a pattern that linked my issue to 32bit Java.

Have you tried uninstalling everything MC related and re-installing? Including Java?

[Latias4Ever 1]

I reinstalled the game twice already, and updated Java. I also tried playing other versions of Minecraft, other modpacks, and they all started normally, but they were all 1.2.5, not 1.5.1.

EDIT: Perhaps someone can give me a zip file with TFC fully installed from the launcher? I only see 3 folders in the installation folder, bin, coremods, and mods. Coremods only has the TFC zip file, no Player API, nothing, Mods is empty, but I think that's supposed to be that way. Maybe my launcher didn't install TFC as perfectly as I thought?

PlayerAPI and Forge should be found in the Jarmods folder which is found inside the bin folder.

Ahh, yup, they're there, then I think it installed like it should... But it doesn't want to start up... Should I perhaps change the installation directory?

EDIT: Tried that, same result, installs game, doesn't start it.

EDIT 2: I tried copy/pasting the folders to my .minecraft folder, and tried loading the game, it said the following:

Failed to launch

Fatal error occured (2): null

Does it help?

EDIT 3: Solved! Here's what solved the problem:

I had to delete the installation folder, and the launcher, then redownloaded the launcher and installed the game again, FML loaded up, and the game works now!
