(XP) launcher does not display the news

[FoxbitDreamtail]

My test rig is a Asus Inspire One AO531h with 2Gb of RAM, it's running Windows XP service pack 3 with all updates even POSReady updates applied, it's running Java 8u152, the rest of the launcher works fine it's just the news section which does not load.
The best performance I got from this hardware was Minecraft 1.12.2 with OptiFine, it was very inconsistent with the mechanical hard drive, I hope to smooth it out when I get an SSD.

Do you have the launcher logs for us? Perhaps your JVM trust store is out of date?

I had this issue with 8u152 (but on Vista x64)
try using the latest commit from github actions, it uses sway by default

How does one do that?

Where would I find the launcher logs, I can find the game logs just fine but where would I find the launcher's logs

[FoxbitDreamtail]

had to use this java -jar olauncher-1.7.3-redist.jar > output.txt command to get the log output, here it is.
output.txt

This is the exact same issue i had
Blame JfxWebkit

bigfoot is probably going to push a hotfix

[bigfoot547]

Yeah, it's the JavaFX bug. It was fixed in 98abde5, which will be in the next hotfix.

I will be waiting for the release of this hotfix and will close this issue when I can confirm that the issue has, indeed been resolved.
