I need help, I cannot get Forge to launch with the newest game version (1.17.1).

I have installed JDK 15, 16 and 17, but all of them result in the following log:

Somebody please help

how are you launching the game? because it looks like java 1.8 (likely system default)

I changed the JVM executable to JDK 16

If I don't change it, I get the following error:

[E] Unrecognized option: -p
[E] Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
[E] Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Edit: I get this error even with vanilla 1.17.1, no Forge, however, vanilla launches correctly with the JVM executable changed
