Can't get "Start Dedicated Server" working today, was fine yesterday

[Iceman181]

I've been setting up a dedicated server for a couple friends on the same computer I play from ... not perfect but I can handle a couple friends plus myself. Router is all set to port forward and I have had no issues with it... until today.

I click "Start Dedicated Server" like normal, it launches javaw.exe in my task manager like normal but no server window comes up (the one that shows people / has the "shut down server" button). I also can't connect to the server either, it's like the platform is running but the server isn't loading up.

When I try to run "StarMade-dedicated-server-windows.bat", this is what appears in the command line:

E:\Steam\steamapps\common\StarMade\StarMade>java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Xincgc -Xsh

Any clues, ideas or suggestions? I did verify data from steam but that just made me have to update the game again from the launcher.

Thanks!
[DOUBLEPOST=1434419582,1434416615][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok, single player sandbox wouldn't work either. I tried uninstall / reinstall of Java and the game and it still didn't fix it....

I did get it running though... apparently something in the world got corrupted. I don't know if there is a way to fix a corrupted world but I created a new world and set it as default and that let me in right away.

Any ideas on what would screw up a world or if there is a way to repair it? Not a big deal for this one since everything was saved and all but it would be nice to know in the future.
