    I'm running a server but I cannot join it because it uses custom textures. The server will hang at downloading custom textures and then eventually give an EOFexception and disconnect. Usually it prompts asking you want to dl custom textures. I'm thinking the window for the prompt isn't popping up so it just hangs there until it disconnects. If anyone else has experienced this or knows a work around post below.

    Important to note, that updating to the most recent build of Starmade caused this bug to occur. The server and all clients were running fine before this update.

    The current build ( v0.198.146 ) may not be compatible with custom blocks or textures on a server. A hotfix could be useful, to simply turn off the autodetection of custom blocks and push to clients feature.

    The testserver is using 2 custom blocks (as a test ... nothing big or fancy) and i havent seen a problem with that.
    removed them and could download them again on next login.
    will check anothertime in the evening.

    Well it's not working on "real" servers. The game hangs on loading while "Downloading server custom textures..." at least it seems to be hung. Shouldn't take 20 minutes ;p

    Devs - hotfix? Just turn it off, please.

    This is incredibly frustrating. Cant play an updated server because you don't get the option to say no to auto downloading custom textures etc when joining a server. Makes me wonder whether this was intentional or not. If it was then its beyond stupid, and if it wasn't its still just as stupid lol.
