Game not launching (Linux)

[rexyislive]

Hi all,

So the game downloaded and the launcher works, but I see the following in the terminal, and the game doesn't actually launch.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

You need to use jre 1.8

I've been using starmade-launcher binary inlcuded with Steam. This seems to work best for now . The game is being updated for jdk 10/11

How do I specify which java to use? Because I have both OpenJDK and Oracle.

EDIT: I installed Oracle's JDK in a folder similar to the one that came with the game.

bin path: /home/stan/Downloads/starmade/Linux/dep/java/jre1.7.0_80/bin

bin path: /home/stan/Downloads/starmade/Linux/dep/java/jre1.8.0_281/bin

but I specified it as custom.
Now the game launches but will instantly crash and I need to restart the whole machine.

EDIT #2: Tried the steam demo and it starts the menu in the game, but crashes when trying to spawn in. Also sound doesn't want to work.
This game is loving me right now xD

I know its a little late but for anybody else who encounters this error, the launcher doesn't have read/write permissions in either the game folder or the launcher folder.

You need to give your user the read write permission in both folders (in most cases one folder is inside the other, but it won't hurt to run both commands anyway)

chmod -R 775 <your-starmade-folder-path-here>/
chmod -R 775 <your-starmade-launcher-folder-path-here>/

Edit: Added command for launcher folder too, changed permission octal from 777 to 775.
