Why is it no longer defaulting to ./starmade/? Especially the steam version, changing the dir will break steam auto updating the game
I believe launching it in Steam will auto direct to the correct steam directory.Why is it no longer defaulting to ./starmade/? Especially the steam version, changing the dir will break steam auto updating the game
If it isn't, that's something that will be fixed/added before full release.I've seen reports in chat of that not happening. Can't confirm for myself, I used the new launcher first time around, so my settings are probably all me-ish
I thought I followed the instructions, but I'll explain what I did in case I missed something.Here's a link to a 32-bit linked version: http://sm-launcher-test.s3.amazonaws.com/jobs/Launcher/97/starmade-launcher-win32-ia32.zip
I am curious, why are you running 32-bit anything these days, and on top of that VISTA?!?

As per the instructions, you have to select "Launch with Beta Launcher" when you right click the game, and only after you opt-in to the beta.
The Beta launcher does not work for me either (crash on startup). However, that does not concern me near as much as your response: "I am curious, why are you running 32-bit anything these days, and on top of that VISTA?!?". Is it now the position of Schine that VISTA users (me) are not going to be equally supported in future updates? Also, what do you mean by "running 32-bit anything"? I have dozens up dozens of 32 bit programs and games that I'm currently using/playing, as I'm sure that millions of other Windows users around the world are also doing.Here's a link to a 32-bit linked version: http://sm-launcher-test.s3.amazonaws.com/jobs/Launcher/97/starmade-launcher-win32-ia32.zip

Many of those programs are 32bit, because they don't need the additional memory, and 32bit is compatible with 32bit architectures and 64bit architectures. StarMade however is not one of those programs, as it usually needs to use more than 1Gb of memory to run in many circumstances. As such, if your OS is 64bit, it is generally recommended to use 64bit StarMade.The Beta launcher does not work for me either (crash on startup).

VISTA 64 (my OS) has been a reliable and good performer for me since I got it in 2009. I have 120+ games in my Steam library that run just fine with it. So, I really need to know if Schine is not going to support VISTA anymore. Because, if they are not, and since I have no plans of upgrading my current OS, then I need to stop investing any more time in Starmade.
I can verify that on my install steam put it in the .StarMade folder in my appdata/roaming folder like minecraft. However, there is nothing in the .starmade folder. There is a second folder below called appdata/roaming/StarMade where the files were actually placed. The launcher from your website also placed them in the same place by default. I had to change directories on your website version so it wouldn't overwrite.I believe launching it in Steam will auto direct to the correct steam directory.
