Forge Queue Workers not working?

Getting this error whenever I click "Check Worker Status" and none of my jobs are getting processed. worker-280192:worker-280192_00 BACKOFF Exited too quickly (process log may have details)

Supervisor config shows this;

2020-03-26 09:15:22,656 CRIT Supervisor running as root (no user in config file)

Can find absolutely 0 information about whatever this "bug" is, and the few possible solutions I have found require me to go diving deep in a bunch of configs, which is exactly the reason I'm using Forge so I can avoid that.

Seems pretty misleading that they would advertise that queue's "just work" but then have 0 actual documentation or troubleshooting on their docs or website.

I've even seen videos of people using identical setups to me; Redis, phpredis, etc... And they just push a single button and it works. Why is this not the case for me?

Thanks.
