Forge will not finish loading

[Fowlmind97]

I have had this issue for the past week of forge not finishing loading when I try to open it. I am hoping that someone here can give me some help with this because I can't figure out how to fix this. Here is the code it gives me when it fails to load:

I had to replace all the periods with commas so the post filter would let this through.

try this :

I'm not sure of the exact location on window 8, it should be one of those, go to :
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Forge\Cache\preferences\
or
C:\Users\<yourusername>\Application Data\Roaming\Forge\Cache\preferences\
or
C:\Documents and Settings\<yourusername>\Application Data\Forge\Cache\preferences\

Then delete the files named :
quest.preferences
deck.preferences
forge.preferences
item_view.preferences

Try to launch Forge again

Hi.

I got the exact same issue as this user but I am using a mac. Do you or anyone else know where I can find these files or how to get forge to work again?

[Fizanko]

I don't have a mac, so all i can point is what is mentionned in the forge.profile.properties :
for the user data :
OSX: <your home directory>/Library/Application Support/Forge/

for the cache :
OSX: <your home directory>/Library/Caches/Forge/

Hopefully this will help you to get Forge back to work.
