Hi, I have a Windows 10 and so far 1.15.2-31.1.16 version worked fine but when I wanted to instal the newest version of Forge 3.1.19 the installer shows progress as usual, but the launcher is not showing the updated version to run the game on. I is showing the right path to the .minecraft folder, but there's no installation log file created after the installation.

Also, I've tried other 1.15 versions of Forge and none of the recommended ones work either...

Any ideas? Any help appreciated!

Update:

Problem solved by changing the options in the properties of the minecraft.exe file to use the old version of the launcher ( i.e. compatibility with old Windows XP) everything updates and runs smoothly now

Forge installs itself as a version of Minecraft, look for it in the Minecraft Versions dropdown when creating a new Installation

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

Reveal hidden contents

Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list):

https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free)

https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)

https://hastebin.com/: 400KB

Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads.

What to provide:

...for Crashes and Runtime issues:

Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer:

Post debug.log

Older versions:

Please update...

...for Installer Issues:

Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer

This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end

Note for Windows users:

Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension

Where to get it:

Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs.

Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:

or alternately,

Fallback ("No logs are generated"):

If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft

  A lot of the time, modpacks will have server files available for download, double check the curseforge listing and files list for the modpacks you are interested in.

  Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla with --safeMode
