    Hi, for some reason, my friend cannot load Starmade. He has a Mac PC and get's stuck at 49% while the game is loading, I have a Windows and have no problem with this. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    That's odd, it's supposed to get stuck at 30%.

    With the afflicted computer being a Mac, I suggest editing the settings.cfg file in the StarMade install directory, and confirming that the entries for "PLAY_INTRO" and "TUTORIAL_PLAY_INTRO" are set to "false". Some Mac models have had problems with in-game video, and the first symptom is this that the game either gets stuck at loading 49-50% when the intro video is supposed to play, or crashes at that point.

    This bug was reported as resolved way back down the line, but I'd try the above anyway, just in case it's related to the problem.

    Snowtiger256 My friend tried that and it still got stuck at 49%, he's also tried modifying how much RAM Starmade uses, is there anything else that could be causing this issue?

    Are the logs being generated at all? (launcher.log, CrashAndBugReport.jar, lastClientStartVersion.txt, serverlog.0.log, logstarmade.0.log) Post the logs if available.

    Has your friend updated to the latest version of java? Try telling starmade to use that OS-native Java instead of the launcher-bundle java
