The rules say only ask for support for versions above 1.8.9. If you have any idea on why this is or if you need any more information or screenshots, then reply to this and tell me exactly what you need and I'll try to send the information. The OptiFine version I use for 1.8.9 is the latest one currently, which is I7, and I even tried H8 because in all the videos I looked at for the problem I have, they all used a version that started with H, but even that didn't work. I have 2 separate folders for 1.12.2 and the 1.8.9 and I used the Game Directory thing in Launch Options so the different versions of Forge startup perfectly fine and that's clearly not the issue. The Auto GG mod works perfectly fine and that's why I'm confused. On 1.8.9, I have the Auto GG mod and OptiFine. The thing is, OptiFine doesn't show up in the Mods tab in-game, or when I go into video settings, or even F3. I have Forge for 1.12.2 and it works perfectly fine with OptiFine and the BetterSprint mod I use, those are the only two mods I use for now on 1.12.2.

I know the rules say not to talk about any version but the latest version, but I assume many people still use 1.8.9 for PvP and other still like I do, and that's the version I am having problems with.
