Hi!
I bought the game as soon as I saw those YouTUbe videos you put up. I managed to download and run a server on my Ubuntu server, and now I am interested in playing the game on my desktop machine which is also running Ubuntu. My problem is that after running the launcher, and adjusting my settings such as telling it to connect to my server, but as soon as I hit the launch game button, all I get is a window with a black screen.
I booted up windows, tried the same thing, and it's working just fine, so it must be the Linux version only at this stage. There was a similiar issue with Minecraft recently, and it involved replacing some files of the lwjgl library, which made it work just fine, and I was wondering if this was the issue? If it was, what would I replace, as I can't seem to find the same files in the StarMade.jar archive.
Additionally, if I try to bypass the launcher and use the StarMade.jar directly, I get an error stating:

I have tried the following:
- completely removed my installation and reinstalled
- manually extracted the latest update and ran that
- trying another user on the same OS (just in case there were hidden config files)
Is there anything I can do to get this working? I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed, play lots of games on Linux, so it's not here on my end in terms of driver installation. I noticed that no matter what I do, the launcher always tells me there is an update available, despite getting the latest files off the site.
Please note that these all work on my Windows installation!
