Optifine instantly crashes on 1.12.2

[CacheTellsStories]

Optifine is the only mod I have installed and nothing else. I am using Forge 2362. The game instantly crashes when I press the play button. Any fixes? I am using the latest version of JAVA

According to that log, you're using Forge 2796, not 2362. You're also using the oldest version of OptiFine for 1.12.2, which is horribly outdated now.

[MauveCloud]

While we're at it, you're not really using the latest version of Java, either:

Java Version: 1.8.0_51, Oracle Corporation

I believe that's the version that comes "bundled" with Minecraft, so even if you have a newer version of Java installed, you haven't configured Minecraft to use it.

[CacheTellsStories]

Sorry I posted the wrong log. I have used 2362 and the latest version of Optifne, same result. I am just putting the .jar, downloaded from the Optifine website and nothing changed. Do I have to mess around with an installer?

[MauveCloud]

No, the installer is for using Optifine w/o Forge, and doesn't give an easy way to use it alongside mods, but it might help if you post the correct log. Please don't assume (or expect us to take your word for it) that the details of the crash are the same.

[CacheTellsStories]

Yeah sorry about that

[JackDotJS]

...what do you mean "it doesn't give an easy way to use it alongside mods"? Installing OptiFine as a Forge mod should be the same as any other mod.

[CacheTellsStories]

I might just be an idiot and trying to put the installer in my mods folder. Where is the download for the normal mod?

[JackDotJS]

Placing the installer in the mods folder is exactly what you're supposed to do. https://optifine.net/downloads Please check the changelog of each version to find the one compatible with your version of Forge. Otherwise I'd also suggest updating Forge.

[CacheTellsStories]

Alright

[MauveCloud]

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear, I meant running the installer doesn't give an easy way to use it alongside mods, because it creates a separate (non-Forge) profile.

[CacheTellsStories]

I have fixed the problem. My forge version was off by one. Thanks guys.
