Game won't load after Launcher

[Razorfin8]

So I have this odd problem. I can open the launcher but when I press start, it just goes away and nothing happens. There are no logs generated so I can't check those.

Some of the things I have tried:
Reinstalling
Deleting everything starmade
Starting in Admin

I would really like to play this game again

Check if there is a java process still running .. if so end it and try again.

Use the program from http://starmadedock.net/threads/diagnostic-tool-starmade-system-checker.183/ to check if something is wrong maybe.

Alright so when I try to find the Javaw.exe (or what ever it is) it doesnt even pop up. I have watched it when i press start game and it doenst even look like it runs. I also ran the diagnostic tool and it said it was fine. I did find a log generated on my desktop though that wasnt there before and this is it.

I assume it has to do with the FileNotFoundException but I can not find any information on this.

First Line : Version 0.0 ... i would guess ther is not even a Starmade to be found ! Sounds weird .. but maybe the game is missing rights to access the install folder ??

Is it installed in any special folder ? Desktop for example would be a bad place!
Take the Launcher and copy it into a new Starmade folder some where not protected by the OS and star it there again! Let it redownload the whole game and try again withthat installation!

Hmm, additionally on windows the 'Program Files' and 'Program Files(x86)' are bad ones too because of much stricter security requirements.
When you open the Launcher is there a line in green at the bottom stating the path of the install of StarMade. If not, click on the Options menu in the Launcher, choose Installation and check there's the correct path to your installation entered.

This is also happening to me.

Can you guys please post something so I can follow steps and solve the problem.
I am not good with the technical stuff.

Nope, Windows 7 prof. SP1, 64bits. Didn't the name calling 'Program Files' and 'Program Files(x86)' give that away already?

Whoops, missed that. I've been having this issue for months now.

I had issues for the longest time as well trying to reinstall java and update drivers with no luck, but eventually I found out that StarMade couldn't read the lwjgl library files (probably because I use jMonkey which uses the same library), so I had to make a shortcut which launches StarMade without going through the startup launcher. It looks something like this:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k cd C:\Users\User\Downloads\StarMade & javaw.exe -Djava.library.path="C:\Users\User\Downloads\StarMade\lib" -jar C:\Users\User\Downloads\StarMade\StarMade.jar -param & exit
