I tried making an install using MultiMC and the same issue happened, but MultiMC doesn't seem to be able to recognise my manual install of jdk 17.0.1 :/
For more details:
1.18 pre-release 1 (Java 16) works fine and I am able to get to title screen.
but 1.18 pre-release 2 (Java 17) crashes immediately and can't load.

I think the issue is due to Java 17.
