So iv been trying to use a modpack from curseforge and everytime iv tried to install a pack it says 'the handshake failed due to an unexpected packet format' iv looked everywhere online to figure out the problem and not one site has anything on it and not even curseforge has a fix for it and im at a loss on what to do.. i tried uninstalling forge i tried deleting my minecraft folder in curseforge and still did not work i even tried a different account on my computer just to get the same result!!! im at a loss and im not sure what to do. any help would be amazing thanks for reading.Insert image from URL

Your question contains no useful information, not even the name of the mod pack.

But this support forum is for forge.

Curseforge help can be found here:

https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/home

 

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.
