when I load the forge install, Minecraft starts up fine, however when i click on a specific world it freezes at "RENDERING WORLD DATA" until crashing, throwing me back to the minecraft launcher.

this is the crash report I got back.

net.minecraftforge.fml.config.ConfigFileTypeHandler$ConfigLoadingException: Failed loading config file forge-server.toml of type SERVER for modid forge

Broken config file. It's in the serverconfig subfolder of that save.

If you don't have a backup, delete the file and it will be recreated with default values.
