Minecraft Forums

So a few weeks ago I launched my Minecraft launcher, on a clean jar, and I was greeted with a gray screen that says "Loading update news..." I tried to login and it says "Can't connect to minecraft.net". I had then tried to use the Technic launcher for vanilla which worked perfectly fine. I had tried to us the original launcher throughout the weeks but it never works. So I went into the .minecraft folder to see if I could figure out anything from it but the folder was empty and I can't download it again because I can't connect. If anybody can help please leave a post or send me a message. Thank you.
