Sphax & FTB Unleashed crashes on loading texture pack

[ollielufti]

Hi, I recently bought a new laptop, and Minecraft crashes when I select my merged Sphax + FTB Unleashed texture pack zip. It worked perfectly on my old laptop.

I'm running Windows 8.1 64bit and I'm also running the latest 64bit version of Java. I've allocated 8gb of RAM to Minecraft in the FTB Launcher.

Specs:
Intel i7-4500U
16GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GT 750M

Here is the crash log: https://pastebin.com/i3HgHcSG

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You say you have a GeForce GT 750M, but the log seems to refer to your intergrated graphics:
OpenGL: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400 GL version 4.2.0 - Build 10.18.10.3496, Intel

On board graphics are rarely any good when it comes to games so I can only suggest, if you really do have a seperate Nvidia card, to make sure the computer is using it and not the onboard.

There is actually a post in one of the Modpack threads that states they are having issues on Win8 when they had none on Win7, too. So you may want to Google and see if you can find any info about that, as well.

Thanks for your reply! I set java and the FTB launcher to run using the dedicated GPU in the nvidia 3D settings, but this didn't work for some reason. However, when right clicking the launcher itself and select run with graphics processor > High end NVIDIA processor, the game launches just fine. I can live with launching it like this rather than through the start menu.

Thanks again.
