I recently got a server host so I could play the game with a few close friends but they're saying they cannot join due to the error "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range -1". They are running on Windows 10 and the Java Edition as our group should be for the game version. The game is also 1.12.2. I've noticed that a friend from Spain can join just fine as well but my local US friends are having an issue. They've even gone as far as to reinstall the game and update Java. I have taken this issue up with my host and so far they've tried re-installing the server and asking me to have them reinstall the game entirely.
