Hi, I have a weird issue with the newest version of Forge (1.16.1). I can install it and even launch the game once upon installation, but upon that first launch, the json file disappears from the versions folder. Predictably, I cannot launch the game again unless I reinstall Forge completely. The error message I get tells me (accurately) that the json file is corrupted or missing. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Edit: I tried and this same thing happens with 1.15.2 as well. I tried reinstalling java, the problem persists.
Edit 2: Keeping the launcher open after launch seemed to have solved the problem.
