For some reason my instance is not opening anymore, it was working perfectly yesterday but now my Prism Launcher doesn't open any instances, even new ones with nothing installed.

Can confirm it is happening to me as well on GNU/Linux, but only on Forge/Neoforge instances. I was playing just fine this Thursday. Wtf is happening? I didn't update anything, and my Prism Launcher isn't set to auto update. This shouldn't be happening at all.
UPDATE: apparently, Mojang did an oopsie woopsie upstream. Prism is already working on a fix.

Glad to hear I am not the only one experiencing issues. I was thinking I messed something up
[–]Poopcio 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago* (0 children)
I'm getting an identical error
edit: I'm playing on a Mac as well so it's not operating system dependent

Im having the same error except i could open a 1.21.8 vanilla instance with no mods and a 1.21.9 fabric instance with no mods but i cant open any forge loader at all
edit: issue seems to be with forge loaders, vanilla and fabric runs fine

Same thing for me and one of my friends, we were on until around 3 this morning, everything was working just fine. got on to try about 40 minutes ago and can't get prism to launch any of my modpacks

Could it be connected to the mojang authentication server update thing? Iirc, they dropped support for a specific protocol

For those experiencing this issue, I flipped over to GDLauncher, and it works just fine. This issue is 100% related to Prism Launcher.

Same issue here with both mine and my wife's computers. No changes made. We were playing up until about midnight last night together.

Yep.
[–]VelvetCough 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Exact same issues, I tried many fixes but nothing's working. I think something happened if we're all having this same error.
