I am trying to use forge 1.16.5 but every time I try to boot up I get error code 255 and it tells me that there is an illegalstateexception. I've tried looking online for answers but anything I find doesn't apply or doesn't work. I've redownloaded java, Minecraft, and forge a few times

The version you are using is no longer supported on this forum.

Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

Currently supported versions are 1.19.2 (Latest) and 1.18.2 (LTS).

As a piece of advice though, you can try setting the `fml.earlyprogresswindow` setting to false.
