Evening Donuts, I can indeed now access and play the 1.19 Pre-release 2. Thanks to you and the Devs. However, pre-Release 5 insta-crashes after the prep bar fills. I'll add to a new (or existing?) ticket.

I posted for the first time here because it was impacting me and three other people I play with (that don't usually touch the pre-releases). That was 4/7 people in the pool affected (nearly all on non-windows OS), so I assumed the issue is bigger than it appears on this Watch List  I've tried a whole bunch of fixes (including uninstalling java, the launcher, trying the "more options" trick, deleting that .jar file), but nothing seems to work. If anyone has any leads for workarounds, I'd be interested in hearing them.

First time poster; so apologies if this is in the right format. 

 Running MacOS Catalina 10.15.17 on a late 2015 iMac. Cannot access the 1.19 Pre1 or 1.19 Pre2.

Can still play 1.17 and 1.18.2 without any issues. And have not experienced issues on previous Pre-Releases [and tested that I could still run 1.18.2-pre1 with no issues].

Clicking Play from the launcher brings up an "ERROR. The Game has failed to launch!" message. Additional text says: 
Failed to download file.
Error details: Java runtime manifest is missing the desired component for this platform.
Tried force updating Java (both JDK 17 and Apple Java 8) and restarted, but neither seemed to make a difference.
