I have no mods in the mod folder as of yet, as I was simply trying to get Forge working first. All threads I have found have involved mod conflicts or solutions I am not seeing the files for, such as the config-->splash. I do not have a config file anywhere that I can find...

 

 

EDIT: Manually copied in the spoiler...

Created config folder, disabled splash screen. I now have a new crash...
