    Hey guys i recently bought starmade to help support the making of the game, but i have a problem. Whenever i use anything that looks like a beam [eg like salvage cannon] my starmade freezes immediately and then crashes. I would like maybe to know why and how i could prevent it.

    Ok, thanks for reading! Hoping for a fix ;)

    Yes, please do send your log reports. Schema will need those to fix bugs :)

    I also play on a macbook, so i know the driver support is a little odd sometimes. Firstly make sure you are using a 64bit java. (http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml)

    Then like smilingdemon said, try disabling drawbeams and turning off other graphical options like shadows and procedural backgrounds etc and see if the same crashes persist.

    There is another thread here http://starmadedock.net/threads/game-crashes-when-i-build-use-docking-beam-bug.664/ on the same topic. Might be worth seeing if your hardware matches theirs to help narrow down specific issues.
