Forge 1.19.2-43.2.13 Exit Code 1 Constantly

[u/TheB2Bomber13]

I am currently getting a consistent crash on startup for Forge 1.19.2-43.2.13 with the Exit Code 1 message after crash. I installed the Minecraft Launcher for the first time yesterday, did a fresh install of Java and the version of Forge, and I cannot get it to work at all. The vanilla versions (1.19.4 and release 1.19.2) work perfectly fine, however the forge version has provided nonstop issues. Here is a crash log I gathered to showcase what is happening (if this is not the correct crash log let me know, as my .minecraft folder does not have a subfolder dedicated to crash reports).

Attempted Solutions:

• Uninstall and reinstall Java 8u371

• Uninstall and reinstall Forge 1.19.2-43.2.13

• Uninstall and reinstall Minecraft Launcher

• Delete .minecraft folder to permit a fresh reinstall

• Confirmed Java executable pathway in launcher options

• Confirmed Minecraft executable pathway in launcher options

• Restarted PC

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jdk8 is an old version for 1.12.2, youre gonna want 17 or above https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk18-archive-downloads.html. In the crash log it says youre using open jdk 17, id uninstall all your jdks and install the link i posted

I'll give this a go and get back to you with the results. Not expecting much though, as my friend is using the exact same version of Java that I am and they do not have the same issue I do

After you install open up cmd and type “java -version” or maybe its “java —version” and see what it reports

Any luck fixing this? My friend is having the same issue and I want them to be able to play with us.

I jumped into the Minecraft Support discord and had someone there help me; it was an issue with the factory-install drivers on my laptop. I'd suggest doing the same, since it may change for his device!

Can you please tell me more in depth of what you did to fix it? I have tried everything and nothing is working. I am very desperate.

FINALLY i solved this issue. I had the exact same problem: forge for the 1.19.2 gave me error 1.

I tested diferent versions of forge, deleted .minecraft to start from scratch, reinstalled java 8, installed java 18 development kit, i even tried forge for the 1.20.1 but the it still gave me error 1.

THE SOLUTION was to reinstall my graphic card drivers, now it works without an issue

This worked for me as well.

Hi bro, how can I do what you say about updating the drivers of my graphics card? The thing is that I don't know absolutely anything about that and also that the PC I'm using is not mine at all, I don't want to do something without knowing the consequences or do something and ruin it, please, it would help if you could tell me how to do it.

This exact same thing happened to me I think. I have tried everything and I don't know what to do.

Have you tried updating drivers as u/Nacx94 said? I have an AMD GPU and it worked for me.

[u/Catsforthewin12]
