skins not working with forge

[Spuunj]

I'm trying to run forge on minecraft 1.19.2, i've tried versions 43.1.1, 43.1.25, and 43.1.47, and every time i load the game up, my skin shows as Alex instead of my custom skin. anytime i launch the game from any other installation the skin shows as normal, and i've tried removing all the mods i was using from the mods folder in case any of them was the issue, but the issue persists with no mods and only is solved by running a vanilla client, so the only conclusion i can come to is that there's some issue with forge

Post a link to your logs/debug.log from when you have the problem.

It says it can't connect to the minecraft site due to a timeout.

Looks like a network issue to me. Post your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, replace "c:\windows" with wherever you have windows installed.

There is nothing strange in your hosts file.

And you say it works with vanilla which should be doing the same thing. Forge does not modify this code.

What launcher are you using? It is the launcher that handles the authentication and then passes a token for forge to use.

Try logging out and logging back in.

I went back and looked at your log and noticed this:

[net.minecraftforge.fml.VersionChecker/]: Failed to process update information

java.net.http.HttpConnectTimeoutException: HTTP connect timed out

So you also have the same problem connecting to forge's website when it checks to see if there is an updated version.

It could be an issue with your firewall or antivirus software stopping these connections?

i tried disabling both antivirus and firewall and it's the same result

[warjort]

I don't know then. You have some network issue where it can't connect to those sites.

But what the problem is unclear.

You need somebody who knows how to debug network problems to find out what is causing it. Maybe your ISP can help?

I tried it on a different computer, same network, forge version 43.1.25, and my skin loaded just fine there

I have the same exact issue on Forge 1.18.2, main issue isn't the skin loading its the fact I can't connect to my server.

This has been an issue for a while now, where the skin randomly stops working. I personally believe that it has to do with a certain Forge update. I couldn't say which one it is, but it happened around December 2022. I'll keep you all posted if I find anything else out.

 

Edit: Seems to be 1.18+ from my testing.

 

Edit 2: All I can recommend is installing the "Everlasting Skins" mod, and set the skin to your skin in game.

even with the everlasting skins mod i cant seem to get the skin i made, it changes my skin to steve instead. ive tried uploading it to nova, changing my skin in my account settings on the website, and it still doesnt work.
