-Thanks, MystGamesYT

This is happening because 1.5.2 is trying to read an options.txt file created by a newer version; to avoid this (as well as settings being reset) make a new profile with a separate game directory (due to versions prior to 1.6 not written to use custom directories it is best to run 1.5.2 in the default location and run newer versions in a separate folder).

Im sorry, but i dont understand or im doing something wrong! I did this part of the link you gave me:

"If you want to change the .minecraft file path, turn the on the "Game directory" option. Now, navigate to the folder where you wish to relocate the .minecraft folder. You can also open the Minecraft profile by clicking the green arrow-shaped "Go to folder" button."

And it didn't work or im not doing it right? Am i even doing the right thing? Please help, im getting desperate for options ;-;

Also thank you for help anyways :{

What exactly did you do? If you just add a new folder name to the end of the path (e.g. .minecraft\newdirectory) the launcher will automatically create it when you launch the game (my own .minecraft directory has two subfolders, "Testing" and "TMCW", which I made by simply adding them to the end of the default path).

Also, as mentioned before versions prior to 1.6 do not support custom directories so you need to delete the "options.txt" file from the .minecraft folder and use a different one for newer versions (that is, do not change the directory for 1.5.2 but only for newer versions).

Ok! I successfully deleted the "options.txt" in my ".minecraft" folder and i loaded up my 1.5.2 Forge! Except, it doesn't have any of the mods? I'm so confused, and i'm so thankful for all of your help. But like i said, it doesn't load any of the mods... It would be amazing if you could tell me why!

here's where my current new Directory is after deleting the "options.txt" file, thought it might be useful.
