game crashes in under a second after starting up in 1.13 pre-release 1

A few seconds after pressing 'play' in the launcher, the game opens, then immediately crashes, but doesn't give a crash report. 

What I expected to happen was...:
The game should just run normally as usual.

What actually happened was...:
The game instead closes right away.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open launcher
2. Press play
