    Since the 0.17 update, I have not been able to close Starmade. The game itself will close, but it leaves javaw.exe running which must be forced closed with the windows task manager before anything else java can run. Other programs that use Java are not leaving the javaw.exe running after they are closed.

    Starmade itself is working fine once running. It just doesn't close the javaw.exe if it does crash or is exited normally.

    Things that changed since v0.1617:

    • New Launcher version meant that Java needed to be updated from Version 7 Update 31 to Version 7 Update 67 so the new launcher would run.
    • StarMade updated from v0.1617 to v0.17

    OS is Windows XP 32bit, Java is 32bit.
    Hardware used appears to not be the issue as this is happening for me on three different WinXP 32bit machines. All are varied system hardwares with the constants being Intel Core2 Duo/Quad cpus, and Nvidia 7,8 and 9 series videocards. All use WinXP 32bit and Java 32bit version 7 Update 67.

    EDIT: This is still happening with v0.1703.
