Can't install Forge at all, for any version.

Posted January 2, 20178 yr

I've been trying to install Forge a multitude of versions for days now and it just won't work for me.

Just recently I started playing some Minecraft again after years of ignoring it, and I'd really enjoy it a lot more if I could run some simple af mods on it like a damn map.

Anyhow, for some reason, Forge won't install on my machine. It downloads the libraries just fine (it seems).

Then, once the download is done, the Java Mod System Installer just minimizes to the taskbar and nothing happens (I never get a successfully installed messaged NOR an error message).

So far I've tried pretty much every version of Forge with every version of Minecraft. I uninstalled, Forge, Minecraft, Java, re-installed everything to no avail.

I've done countless troubleshooting steps but none of it changes the situation. I'm using the latest version of Java and Windows 8.1. No mods installed, tried using numerous minecraft versions. Here's the log from Forge:

Forge 1.20.1 OpenAL 40963 and 40961 in DynamicSoundFilters

I copied the mod from Fabric to Forge, but errors 40963 and 40961 appear, I still don’t know the reason, I tried it in a single world, it doesn’t reproduce, the reason for the error is unknown, sometimes it exists and sometimes it doesn’t. andre111/dynamicsoundfilters: GitHub repository
The ported code to Forge is no different from the original, so you can use the source code for testing. The same error occurred on the Fabric build, mods that were on both builds:
Sodium
Create
I only know that the error occurs along the following path: MixinSoundSystem call onPlay -> FilterManager call updateSoundInstance

My friend keeps getting disconnected from our Forge Server

It is, but that is mainly to set up configs per player, I think. I don't believe it is messing chest inventories. I can try to remove that one tho and see if it fixes anything.
