    This game looks great, but I can't even get it to start. I start the launcher as Administrator, get to connection setup without any problem, but upon trying to play Sandbox, I get an error:

    "SQLException: Database lock acquisition failure: lockFile: org.hsqld.persist.LockFile@56c12006[file =C:\Users\*\Desktop\Gaming\Games\StarMade\server-database\index\.lck, exists=false, locked=false, valid=false,] method: openRAF reason: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\*\Desktop\Gaming\Games\StarMade\server-database\index\.lck (Access is denied.)"

    This has "Retry" and "Exit" options at the bottom, along with a suggestion to terminate javaw.exe, all of which just close the program, and none of which fix the issue.

    Also, there is an error behind that, that says "IOExceptionAccess is denied, with "Ok" and "Exit" options, and the window is unclickable.

    Note: I have an AMD A-8 Quad-Core processor, 8GB of RAM, and a Radeon HD 7640G graphics card, the drivers of which are up to date. I have deleted StarMade, redownloaded, and still get this error.

    I found the problem, it was an issue with either my antivirus or firewall.

    EDIT: It was definitely a problem with my antivirus, as the exact same problem returned upon updating. Adding the new files to the trusted files list solved it.
