The standard response to this is to disable the splash screen, but for some reason the config folder with splash.properties doesn't generate for me. The "run" folder specified by runDir contains just logs, crash-reports, and mods, there's no config folder. 

 

I manually created a config folder in the run directory, then copied the splash.properties from .minecraft/config, and disabled the splash screen. That didn't work.

 

I also tried downgrading the java version I use in Eclipse through Windows -> Preferences -> Installed JREs, then selecting jres for both java 7 and 6 (I tried both). Both didn't work either.

 

I'm using Intel HD Graphics, which I know is crap, but I don't have any issues whatsoever running Minecraft modded or not. I also reinstalled the driver.

 

Is there any way to fix this problem or am I straight out of luck?

If I would guess, I would say that there is a problem finding OpenGL drivers which could be caused by out-of date drivers or

something is wrong with the drivers. I would recommend uninstall the driver with something like DDU to make sure everything is removed

uppon uninstallation and then install it again.

Downgrading Java should definitly not solve the problem. Also since Mojang enforces Java 8 with Minecraft 1.12, you shouldn't be

able to start Minecraft with Java 7/6 or lower.
