1.18 forge version not launching

[Brown_Warrior]

I tried launching my just-installed 1.18.1 version of forge but when I launch it it comes up with the following error

An unexpected error occurred and the game has crashed. We are orry for the inconvenience. This crash may be caused by an invalid Java Runtime Configuration. Check any cutom configuration settings. Exit code; 1

I checked the log and it seems to be missing a lot of forge classes and methods, I am not sure how to fix it

Here is a shortened version of the log leaving out the last, unimportant section. If there is actually any important data missing i will send the full thing but for sake of space I'll keep it short for now

That log shows Optifine and no Forge.

Hmm looking through the log there is no mention of forge except in those sections, didnt quite realise it was all about optifine I honed in on the website url saying forge
