I'd love to play multiplayer, but I'm not sure my computer can handle that at the moment. It can barely handle multiplayer on vanilla. Might have to wait for the new computer... 2 months or so. : /
I have not read too much about your issue, but have you tried doing a simple cleaning of your computer? Removing 90% of the dust that may be inside could solve your overheating issues.
People keep asking her about this and I'm sure she's tired of explaining it over and again, so in her stead I'll say: her laptop is a piece of crap, she's done all she can to keep it from overheating, she just needs to hold out until she can get it replaced. We've gone over this in detail and there's really nothing more to say on the matter.
Thanks. : ) I do appreciate people trying to help, but yeah, there's nothing more to be done. 2 more months, 3 tops... Maybe I should put this in my signature to help avoid future repetitions.
The last time I tried multiplayer the computer immediately overheated and shut down, even with minimum settings. I can probably get it to stay alive now with the fan, but it does seem to be more demanding than single player, probably because people build a lot more (and there's a lot of constructions especially near the spawn). I'll have to give it another try. If someone finds a good Tekkit server, I'll join and see how it goes.
Vattic: Thanks for the download, but it still isn't working for some reason. Simply doesn't show up in the texture packs list. It's so strange, because the 128x versions (for both 1.7 and 1.6) show up fine. The Tekkit launcher is definitely giving me MC 1.6.4, but the BDCraft for Tekkit packs for 1.6.4 at 64x simply refuse to show up on the list.
On the other hand, the Pure BDCraft without the Tekkit textures shows up just fine at all resolutions. But then when I try to load it at 64x, the game crashes.
Why does nothing ever run properly for me? : / I seem to have the worst luck with strange errors. I haven't fiddled with the Tekkit pack at all, so I can't see why I should be having problems. Maybe I'll just try 32x and give up the pretty pictures...
EDIT: Okay, I got the 32x one working fine, so I'll just use that. I probably should anyway. I don't know what's up with the 64x one, but every time I choose it, the whole game just freezes up. Strange.
