I and my wife are trying to play together and every time I try and join her world it gives me a Connection Lost error with "Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.EncoderException: io,netty,util,IllegalReferenceCountException: refCnt: 0"

Forge Version: 39.0,43
Minecraft 1.18.1
Modpack version: 0.2.35

I am encountering the same issue. server connects, encrypts, starts loading terrain then gives the above error message.

This is a Forge bug, we're looking into it.
