Is this a 1.8 Forge issue? -- help [ Forge 11.14.0.1245-1.8 ]

Decided to create a 1.8.x modpack in Technic Launcher, got a server going but the client bombs immediately with the following:

Is this an issue with Forge 1.8 or something else?

 

Also is there a fix for this?

 

I saw in a previous thread someone got banned for posting an error just like this, I have two legit accounts for minecraft.

This is not a forge issue, the Launcher is not setting up the libraries properly.

[kreezxil 4]

Darn, there goes Technic Launcher then including their new beta.

 

Do you know off hand which launchers out there setup the libraries correctly?

[diesieben07 6684]

Any launcher that behaves like the vanilla one.

[kreezxil 4]

seems that neither the vanilla launcher nor forge b1245 downloads and installs the library "level":

 

org/apache/logging/log4j/Level

 

I'm at a complete loss here and from what I can see based diesieben07 response is that "we aren't supposed" to use launchers anymore, ie going back to the archaic way of doing things.

 

Gosh, I really hoping I'm taking that out of context. Please tell me that I am.

[luacs1998 270]

Technic Launcher needs to update how it handles libraries.

 

For now, I recommend using MultiMC.

[diesieben07 6684]

Gosh, I really hoping I'm taking that out of context. Please tell me that I am.

You are. Use the vanilla launcher or MultiMC.

[kreezxil 4]

Thank You, I'll be giving MultiMC a shot now.

[kreezxil 4]

Wow, MultiMC really did it right! Thanks again!
