The user data on OSX apparently are saved to
<your home directory>/Library/Application Support/Forge/

Once you find that location, delete the entire content of the folder named "preferences" and the entire content of the folder named "quest"

With those 2 folders empty, Forge should then not load any setting from previous versions that may incompatible with the latest version.

There is no folder named forge in application support. Any Ideas?

I don't know how OSX works, but there's certainly some file searching tool to locate a file, then look for the file named :

quest.preferences

This file is one of the files that is created by forge in the user data, so finding this file will show where is the directory you need to look for

See thats the thing. There is nothing there. I searched the entire hard drive for anything related to forge. I searched for forge, quest, deck, magic... Im not sure what to do. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled. Im at a loss. If anyone has any insight I would love to hear it.

Try searching for *.preferences or *.dat

From the Finder click on the "Go" menu and select "Home". This will open the window displaying the folders for your user account.

Double click on the folder named "Library".

Double click on the folder named "Application Support".

Find the folder named Forge within the window that just opened and follow the instructions that are provided in an earlier message.
