I have the same issue: It crashes every time I open with 44.1.0. I even tried switching the Forge modloader, which didn't solve anything at all. It can't be due to my mods since I moved them to another folder and deleted the profile.
Then made a brand new profile with the same settings.
Here's the link to both log files (no crash-report folder in the instance, so no crash-report):

Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
