So s few things…

Please report logs and errors the way that Common Crash forum post shows…

2 Gb of memory is NOT enough to run a forge server.

Please try the fixes mentioned in the Common Crash thread on this forum - specifically check out the oldmixin fix.

If none of these fix it, please upload a log to Host or Pastebin and dharae that with the new debug.log and crash log.
