Why won't forge load? Forge won't start? Is the game slow? Crashes? Buggy? Solving the most common problems

If you have any questions when using our TLauncher, then in this news we have collected the most common problems and their solutions.

FAQ:


- Is this paid?
No, it's free.

What to do if TLauncher or Minecraft refuses to work?
1) Reinstall Java from http://java.com
2) Download the latest version of TLauncher:
3) Delete the configuration file ~/.tlauncher/ru-minecraft.properties
4) Delete the folder ~/.minecraft/ (see point 5)
5) Paths to the required folders:
- On Windows: ...\%User Folder%\AppData\Roaming\
- On Linux: /home/%Username%/
- On MacOS: /home/%Username%/Library/Application Support/
(!) If you have important files in the Minecraft folder, make a backup copy of them.

The game does not start, the last lines in the console are:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 1048576KB object heap
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: using incremental CMS
[...]
The error is related to the allocation of RAM to the launcher. To solve, click “Settings” -> “Advanced”, find the inscription “Memory allocation”, try changing the values ​​until the game starts, of course, after each change, saving and trying to launch.

* in the screenshot the amount of allocated memory is shown as an example; yours may only run on other values.

What to do if TLauncher does not start?
1) Download the launcher again, as this may be due to an error when downloading/updating the executable file.
2) Move the TLauncher executable file to a folder that does not have special paths. characters (!, ?, @...) and characters that are not supported by the ASCII standard (that is, Cyrillic, hieroglyphs and other non-Latin letters).
3) Uninstall Java and download a newer version. If there is none, simply reinstall the existing one.

How to install 32bit/64bit Java on Windows?
1) Open the download page:
Java 7: .
Java 8: .
2) Click “Accept License Agreement”
3) Select and download the desired version
For Java 7: Windows xAA jre-7uNN-windows-xAA.exe
For Java 8: Windows xAA jre-8uNN-windows-xAA.exe
...where AA is the bit depth (32 or 64, choose the one you need), NN is the update number (the more, the better and newer).
4) Install as a normal program.
5) Done!

How to install a skin?
Buy the game and install it in your profile on the official website.

Why is my skin displayed crookedly?
Starting from version 1.8, a different skin format is used, which is not supported in earlier versions.

Why is my skin Baba Alex?
The skin is calculated based on your nickname ID. The skin type can only be changed from your personal account to , that is, to do this you need to buy the game.

I put the skin by nickname, why is it not displayed?
With the introduction of a new skin system (from versions 1.7.5+), the skin stopped being displayed by pirates.

Where can I get mods?
On our website, in the section.

How to install mods?
Read the instructions in the news with the mod.

Where is the "bin" folder, the "minecraft.jar" file?
After the release of Minecraft 1.6 (which came out more than a year ago, slowkey), the "bin" folder was replaced with the "versions/Version_Number/" folder, and "minecraft.jar" with "versions/Version_Number/Version_Number/jar", respectively.

Versions with Forge (before 1.7.10) do not launch at all. Or when they are launched, the launcher restarts (closes and opens again).
You may have installed one of the Java 8 updates that has a known sorter bug.

Patching Forge
1) Download one of the following files:
– For Forge 1.6.4 #965: .
– For Forge 1.7.2 #1121 / #1147: .
– For Forge 1.7.10 #1208: .

(!) New versions of Forge 1.7.10 do not require a patch.
2) Open the Minecraft folder by clicking on the folder icon in the TLauncher main menu.
3) Go to the folder libraries/net/minecraftforge/minecraftforge/
4) Find the folder whose name ends with the same patch number.
For example, you downloaded the patch for Forge 1.7.2 #1121 / #1147: you need to open the folder 1.7.2-10.12.2.1121 (or 1.7.2-10.12.2.1147, whichever it will be; if there are both folders, apply the patch to both )
5) Open the JAR file located in this folder with any archiver. Delete the META-INF/ folder. Open the cpw/mods/fml/relauncher/ folder and copy the file you downloaded into it. Agree to the replacement and close the archiver.
6) Done :)

Installing Java 7.
1) Uninstall Java 8:
– Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Java 8 Update xx -> Uninstall
2) Install Java 7 if it is not installed:
– Follow this link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloa..

– Click “Accept License Agreement”
– If you have a 64-bit system, select “Windows x64 (jre-7uXX-windows-x64.exe)”. If not, then select “Windows x86 Offline (jre-7uXX-windows-i586.exe)”.
* In place of XX is any two-digit number from 51 to 99.
– Run the downloaded file


- I can’t play on the server!
1) If the error “something related to java” comes up, then try disabling your antivirus and/or firewall and check your Internet connection.
2) If the error “Bad Login” or “Invalid session” appears, then the error is due to the fact that the server uses a premium authorization model, that is, pirates (or simply people with other launchers), on this server they won't let me in. Try logging into this server using the launcher that is offered on the website/page of this server, or use the official one.

I can’t play on a local network: it says “Invalid session”
Only premium users can “open” a server for the network. Create a separate server (We have an article) and write online-mode=false in its settings

Avast Antivirus! blocks TLauncher traffic. What to do?
Settings -> Active Protection -> Web Shield -> Scan traffic only through known browsers

Kaspersky Anti-Virus blocks the loading of resources. What to do?
Add the address to the Anti-banner whitelist: http://resources.download.minecraft.net/ad/ad*

What to do if "Minecraft closed with exit code: -805306369"?
The launcher itself advises you on this issue

There is no strictly defined reason for this error.
But I know that it occurs:
- Mainly on versions >1.6.4
- When trying to break glass
- After installing the texture pack (from the server)
- Technical reason: due to a memory allocation error (PermGen, all things).

Possible solutions:
- Click the “Update client” checkbox and click “Reinstall”. This way you give the launcher a chance to detect damaged files and download them again.
- Remove mods and resource packs. Yes, they too can lay their paws on the current situation
- You can turn off the sound in the settings of Minecraft itself. You will play without sound, but without crashes.

I updated the launcher, but all my accounts/saves/servers/goodies were gone. What to do?
Let's start with the fact that nothing is missing. ONLY the launcher and ONLY its configuration file were updated.
Most likely, you placed the Minecraft folder not in the standard directory, but in some other place. Remember where this whole thing was located, and in the launcher settings, in the “Directory” field, point to it. Nothing difficult. The launcher will start working in the old way again.

How to report a problem:


0) Read the FAQ above and try all the solutions to the most common problems. If it doesn’t help, read on.

1) Launch TLauncher.

1. Download the latest version and save it to your Desktop.
2. Open notepad and enter:
java -jar TLauncher.jar
pause
3. Save the file to your desktop as “TLauncher.bat”. First, do not forget to specify “File type → All files (.*)”
4. Try running the file you just saved. If the launcher does not start, copy (or, at worst, take a screenshot) the entire contents of the command line.


2) Gather information about the problem.

1. Open settings:

2. Open the “Advanced” tab.

3. Go to the “TLauncher Settings” tab.


4. Select the shared developer console.


5. Save your changes.


Result:

If you are faced with the fact that Forge slows down, crashes, Forge does not start, Forge does not install, controls do not work in Forge, there is no sound, errors pop up, saves do not work in Forge - we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

First, check whether your PC's specifications meet the minimum system requirements:

  • OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
  • Processor: Core 2 Duo 2 GHz
  • Memory: 2 GB (4 GB - Vista/7)
  • Video: 512 MB (Nvidia GeForce 8800)
  • HDD: 6 GB
  • DirectX: 9.0c

Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software

Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, drivers specially optimized for them are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of unfound and unfixed errors.

Do not forget that for stable operation of games, installation of the latest version of DirectX is often required, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.

Forge won't start

Many problems with launching games occur due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during installation, try uninstalling the game and running the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

It also doesn’t hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as Administrator in compatibility mode for different versions of Windows.

Forge is slow. Low FPS. Lags. Friezes. Freezes

First, install the latest drivers for your video card; this can significantly increase the FPS in the game. Also check your computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE). If before starting the game you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the post-processing settings. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly improve performance without greatly affecting the picture quality.

Forge crashes to desktop

If Forge often crashes to your desktop slot, try to start solving the problem by reducing the quality of the graphics. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot run correctly. It's also worth checking for updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.

Black screen in Forge

More often than not, the problem with a black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your video card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is a result of insufficient CPU performance.

If everything is fine with the hardware and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT+TAB), and then returning to the game window.

Forge won't install. Installation stuck

First of all, check whether you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for the installation program to work correctly, the stated amount of space is required, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system disk. In general, remember the rule - there should always be at least 2 gigabytes of free space on the system disk for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or may refuse to start at all.

Installation problems can also occur due to a lack of Internet connection or unstable operation. Also, do not forget to pause the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.

Saves don't work in Forge

By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a documents folder, which is located separately from the game itself.

Controls don't work in Forge

Sometimes game controls do not work due to multiple input devices being connected at the same time. Try disabling the gamepad or, if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If your gamepad does not work, then remember that games are officially supported only by controllers defined as Xbox joysticks. If your controller is detected differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

Sound doesn't work in Forge

Check if the sound works in other programs. After this, check whether the sound is turned off in the game settings and whether the sound playback device to which your speakers or headset is connected is selected there. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound there is muted.

If you are using an external sound card, check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.

Unfortunately, games have flaws: stutters, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so minor errors. Often problems begin even before the game starts, when it does not install, does not load, or does not even download. And the computer itself sometimes does weird things, and then in Forge there’s a black screen instead of a picture, the controls don’t work, you can’t hear the sound or anything else.

What to do first

  1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download via direct link) - this is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
  2. Update all drivers on the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
  3. Install Advanced System Optimizer(download via direct link) and enable game mode in it, which will end useless background processes while launching games and improve performance in the game.

Forge System Requirements

The second thing to do if you have any problems with Forge is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this before purchasing, so as not to regret the money spent.

Forge minimum system requirements:

Windows XP, Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 Gb RAM, 6 Gb HDD, nVidia GeForce 8800 Video memory: 512 Mb

Every gamer should have at least a little understanding of components, know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in the system unit.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.

You should start with the drivers for your video card. Modern graphics cards are manufactured by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product drives the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the latest driver package:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Forge is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If Forge does not start, we recommend that you try to disable your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, and also check again for compliance with the system requirements and if something from your build does not comply, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.

In Forge, black screen, white screen, color screen. Solution

Problems with screens of different colors can be divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they often involve using two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then Forge may launch for the first time on the built-in one, but you won’t see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens occur when there are problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Forge cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support the video card. Also, a black/white screen may appear when working at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Forge crashes. At a specific or random moment. Solution

You play for yourself, play and then - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop in front of you without any hint of a game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, you should try to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If a crash occurs at a random moment in time without any pattern, then with a 99% probability we can say that this is a bug of the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and the best thing to do is just put Forge aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Forge save and bypass the departure location.

Forge freezes. The picture freezes. Solution

The situation is approximately the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to the developer’s mistake when creating it. However, often a frozen picture can become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture freezes in Forge, then use programs to display statistics on component loading. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If you wish, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Forge image.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. For processors it is slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use a driver or an official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and check whether the operating temperature decreases.

Forge is slow. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution

If there are slowdowns and low frame rates in Forge, the first thing to do is lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are many of them, so before reducing everything, it’s worth finding out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the game picture. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so you should reduce the screen resolution only as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. The texture quality should be reduced if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old hard drive with a spindle speed of less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just detailing). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power from the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means this parameter should be reduced on video cards with low core or memory frequencies.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time at every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full rendering and add pre-rendered shadows to the game. They are static, because essentially they are just textures overlaid on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the video card core.

Often developers add additional settings related to shadows:

  • Shadow Resolution - Determines how detailed the shadow cast by an object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, it loads the video card core, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
  • Soft shadows - smoothing out unevenness in the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. Allows you to get rid of ugly corners on the edges of objects through the use of a special algorithm, the essence of which usually comes down to generating several images at once and comparing them, calculating the most “smooth” picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in their level of impact on Forge performance.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4 or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4 or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms like FXAA and TAA work a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Thanks to this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use video card resources, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on “green” ones. HDAO, on the contrary, is optimized for video cards from AMD. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting; it consumes the least resources, so if Forge is slow, it's worth switching to it.

What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to take the most work, so these are the best places to start.

Gamers often have to do Forge optimization themselves. Almost all major releases have various related forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called Advanced System Optimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean their computer of various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. Advanced System Optimizer does this for you and also analyzes your computer to find ways to improve performance in apps and games.

Forge lags. Large delay when playing. Solution

Many people confuse “brakes” with “lags,” but these problems have completely different causes. Forge slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

This is why lags can only occur in online games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter happens least often. In online games, communication between client and server occurs through the exchange of relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough.

There is no sound in Forge. Can not hear anything. Solution

Forge works, but for some reason does not sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like this, but it’s still better to figure out what’s going on.

First you need to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or even on the computer? If only in a game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the problem is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are installed incorrectly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error in our beloved Windows OS.

Controls don't work in Forge. Forge doesn't recognize mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? Problems with supporting specific devices are inappropriate here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded; the problem is almost always on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to contact the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice and gamepads are incompatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find its driver. Devices from well-known gaming brands often come with their own software packages, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to search for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you only need to wait for the scan results and download the necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often Forge brakes can be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can scan your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32. The antivirus has proven itself to be the best and has been approved by millions of users around the world.

ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small businesses, capable of protecting a computer running Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats . New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to security development. Versions of anti-virus programs are available on the developer’s website for both PCs and mobile devices; a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Forge downloaded from a torrent does not work. Solution

If the game distribution was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of operation. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the process of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games, which are often used to verify the license.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files in them have been changed. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify the EXE file. At the same time, no one knows what else they do with it. Perhaps they embed self-executing software. For example, when the game is first launched, it will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees here and cannot be.

In addition, the use of pirated versions is, in the opinion of our publication, theft. The developers spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their brainchild would pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if any problems arise with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using one or another means, you should immediately remove the pirated version, clean your computer with an antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only protect you from dubious software, but will also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Forge gives an error that the DLL file is missing. Solution

As a rule, problems associated with missing DLLs arise when Forge is launched, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs during the process and, not finding them, crash in the most blatant manner.

To fix this error, you need to find the required DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is using the program DLL-fixer, which scans the system and helps quickly find missing libraries.
