Minecraft forge 1.12.2 is crashing when I play a modpack through twitch

[Studucken123]

Every time I open Skyfactory4 through Twitch it sais "GAME CRASH An unexpected issue occured and the game has crashed. We're sorry for the inconvenience." I have reinstalled Minecraft many times, aswell as even creating multiple twitch profiles, reinstalling modpacks, reinstalling twitch, and also looking into .minecraft and deleting all mods and versions then reinstalling them while reinstalling java and i always get the same message.

[DaemonUmbra]

My forum signature is the thing below each of my messages, in my case it's made up of sections compressed into spoilers to save space and keep things readable.

Forge Version 1.12.2-14.23.2.2629 and newer:

Twitch Launcher: If you are using the Twitch Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, unfortunately the method of getting around this is a bit convoluted:

Was that what I was supposed to do?

 

 

[Studucken123]

I looked at every single youtube tutorial and thread about this and nothing i tried worked.

Please follow the instructions we gave you.

Which would be:

Quote

• Take note of the Forge version the pack uses and close the Twitch launcher as well as any open Mojang launcher instances
• Locate your Twitch Launcher installation
• Locate the "versions" folder
• Locate the folder corresponding to the version of Forge that your active pack uses
• That folder will have a JSON file, in that file you will need to insert this line: "logging":{}
  • Note that at least one comma will be required to keep the JSON valid.
    • If this is added as the first line the comma will close off the line.
    • If this is at the end the previous line will need to be closed off with a comma.
    • If this is put in the middle then both commas will be needed.
• DO NOT LAUNCH THE PACK WITH TWITCH
• Use the appropriate script to launch Minecraft by putting it next to the Mojang launcher executable and running the script
  • These scripts use the same launch argument Twitch does, however they will not undo our changes to the version JSON.
    • Windows: Open MC Here.bat
    • Mac: [Coming Soon]
• The log files will be in \Documents\[Twitch or Curse]\Instances\[Pack Name]\logs

I do not understand what most of those mean. I have realized I am really having trouble with this so I was wondering if we could get in a call and work it out through a call. If not it would be greatly appreciated if you send a video of you doing it yourself. I am very sorry I am bothering you so much I am just not very tech savvy.

 

[Studucken123]

If not, I politely ask you put it in easier terms

Which part are you stuck on? I tried to put it as simply as I could.

[Studucken123]

That folder will have a JSON file, in that file you will need to insert this line: "logging":{}

Note that at least one comma will be required to keep the JSON valid.

Locate your Twitch Launcher installation

 If this is added as the first line the comma will close off the line.

If this is at the end the previous line will need to be closed off with a comma.

If this is put in the middle then both commas will be needed.

Use the appropriate script to launch Minecraft by putting it next to the Mojang launcher executable and running the script

[Studucken123]

And also how do I launch a modpack without twitch

You create a new profile in the Minecraft launcher and set the game directory to the game directory of the modpack.

[DaemonUmbra]

Please try to go through this step by step, which step are you stuck on? You copy/pasted a bunch and one is out of order.

[Studucken123]

"Take note of the Forge version the pack uses and close the Twitch launcher as well as any open Mojang launcher instances"

okay so i know the pack uses 1.12.2 so i think i did that right

 

"Locate your Twitch Launcher installation"

so i dont know if you mean to go in like file explorer and type in twitch launcher installation but when i did nothing came up

 

"Locate the "versions" folder"

im pretty sure i know how to do this you just go in the previous step and find the folder that sais versions

 

"Locate the folder corresponding to the version of Forge that your active pack uses"

im vaguely sure i know how to do this you just find the folder in versions that sais 1.12.2

 

"That folder will have a JSON file, in that file you will need to insert this line: "logging":{}"

I know how to go in a file but i do not know how or where to insert logging {}

 

"Note that at least one comma will be required to keep the JSON valid."

i just dont know how to do this in general

 

"If this is added as the first line the comma will close off the line.

If this is at the end the previous line will need to be closed off with a comma.

If this is put in the middle then both commas will be needed."

I also dont know how to do these steps

 

"DO NOT LAUNCH THE PACK WITH TWITCH"

i dont know how to do this if it helps i go on twitch click play on the modpack and it brings me to the minecraft launcher

 

"Use the appropriate script to launch Minecraft by putting it next to the Mojang launcher executable and running the script

These scripts use the same launch argument Twitch does, however they will not undo our changes to the version JSON."

I just dont understand what these mean.

That is the Minecraft version, you need to know the Forge version.

Twitch puts its Minecraft files in Documents\Curse\Minecraft\

You have to make sure you add the exact text "logging":{}, the rest of it is trying to explain how to add that line while keeping the file readable to the launcher, easiest way is to find the end of the file where the last } is and put "logging":{} on the line just above and putting a comma on the end of the line just above THAT.

Unfortunately there is a reason I say to close Twitch and keep it closed through these tasks, if Twitch is running and you try to launch the pack through it it will reset the file we are changing, and it will reset it to Twitch's version of the file which breaks Forge's logging.

That's me trying to explain what the script does and how to use it, essentially it launches the Mojang Launcher the same way Twitch does, but my script doesn't reset the file we changed like Twitch would.

To use it just save it to your computer and in your twitch files find minecraft.exe and put my script next to it, then double click my script.

[Studucken123]

so i went to open up the json file but then i found that it was opening with internet explorer

also, at what location in the file will i be putting"logging":{}

Edited May 6, 2019 by Studucken123

[Studucken123]

I was also still confused on the commas

[DaemonUmbra]

Ok, open notepad and File -> Open, then find the json

In short inside the json everything should be between two curly braces { }, every line of text inside those braces that is not the last line needs a comma

[Studucken123]

so did I do this right?

[DaemonUmbra]

No, everything has to be between the { and } at the beginning and end of the file, respectively.

And if you stick it on the end, put a comma at the end of the previous line

[Studucken123]

like this?

[Cadiboo]

Change {"logging":} to "logging":{} and move it up 1 line

[Studucken123]

Do i put a space between the first bracket on the line and "logging":{}

[Cadiboo]

No, move the } down so it’s the last thing and put "logging":{} where it was
