Hi all. I've been having this problem since 1.13 came out. I start the game from the launcher as usual, and everything's fine until I try to load up a world/server. It goes up until the message "preparing spawn" or something like that, freezes at around 50 - 70%, and then crashes. There is no crash report (unless there is and I don't know how to find it.) Sometimes it even crashes right when I start the game.
There probably isn't something wrong with my computer, all other games work fine.
I've tried a lot of different solutions and none of them have helped.
Please help me fix this, and I will provide any needed info! Thanks!

I uninstalled McAfee. I checked the incompatible software list and it says to disable the discord overlay, so I did that. My HJT says I have WebCompanion, but I can't find it anywhere in my files as well as control panel. Minecraft still crashes, but when I tried the first time it gave me a message about Minecraft not having enough memory, and it gave me the option to return to the title screen or quit the game. I went back to the menu and tried again, but it once again crashed on preparing spawn. In the game output I got the exit code 805306369.
This sounds very much like a memory issue; the game is crashing while generating/loading the world because it is running out of memory as it loads chunks (VBOs will not do anything because the game isn't even rendering anything yet, I presume you are still on the "preparing spawn area" screen).
Your JVM arguments (the game/launcher log should show everything) most likely has something like "-Xmx512M" added via the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable; you need to edit it to remove it (1.13 is substantially more demanding than older versions so this would explain why it wasn't an issue before; in fact, even the default allocation of 1 GB is not really enough):
Post the crash report. Crash reports are found in the crash-reports folder under the .minecraft folder.

Yeah, I set that to 4gb. And versions before 1.13 work fine, so it's definitely something to do with 1.13.
(I'm not sure if you actually need to uninstall the offending programs, which have been mentioned by others, or just remove the environment variable; either way, uninstalling by itself won't remove it)
Razer Synapse / Razer Cortex can add -Xmx256M or -Xmx512M to the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable.

I read this on the incompatible software list you linked. I have none of those installed, but I'm getting the same exit code and log errors that the website says Synapse or Cortex cause.
This is definitely an issue with something setting _JAVA_OPTIONS to include "-Xmx256M"; I gave the instructions to remove it before:
(I'm not sure if you actually need to uninstall the offending programs, which have been mentioned by others, or just remove the environment variable; either way, uninstalling by itself won't remove it)
So how do I remove it? Sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to how java works lol
To remove the -Xmx256M in the _JAVA_OPTIONS variable in your environment settings:
Press the Windows key and the Pause/Break key simultaneously
A window should popup, click on "Advanced system settings"
Click on "Environment Variables"
Delete the _JAVA_OPTIONS entry.

This worked! Thanks everyone for helping, 1.13 is working normally now. Well, I'm gonna go play now... no reason to respond anymore everyone! Thanks once again!

Tried everything there, didn't help.

I don't know how you "tried everything on the FAQs" when you have McAfee, Discord and webcompanion still running...
Uninstall McAfee.
Uninstall Lavasoft Ad-Aware WebCompanion.
Disable Discord in game overlay.

Thank you so much, I have the same problem and haven't been able to fix it for a few months. Thanks!
