When I press the play button for Minecraft 17w43b, the game crashes immediately, without even trying to load. It still happens with any amount of RAM (1 or 4 GB). 1.12.2 works perfectly on my system.

Hi, unfortunately we can't help you without a crash report, so this ticket will be put on hold until you upload one. Thanks!

Ok, I added a log file that I think is relevant.
Thank you, that is indeed helpful. Is there also a crash report appearing in .minecraft/crash-reports
? If so, that would help us further identify the issue.

I have found a workaround! There is no crash report in .minecraft/crash-reports. The fix is to turn of resolution in launcher profile

Exception in thread "main" joptsimple.OptionArgumentConversionException: Cannot parse argument '--height' of option width

This is still an issue for me on 1.13.1 Pre-1, messing with resolution settings in launcher did not fix.
