    I am able to open the first screen, the one with update, but when i press Start Game the screen dissapears and.... nothing. I have tried to reinstall Java, my graphic driver and the game itself but still nothing. Anyone know what might be wrong? it has worked before, but stopped a while ago.

    Try moving the starmade-starter.exe to a new folder so it downloads a fresh copy of the game... or rename the StarMade folder that it created

    i tried that. i removed the frolder+.exe from the computer and re-downloaded, and still nothing. and i transfered the folder to another computer (my laptop) and it worked there, so i dont think theres anything wrong with the installation.

    I have tried to use an old backup from when i could play it (0.09375) but is still unable to play it. This tells me 3 things:

    1.Theres nothing wrong with the hardware (at least, is was no problem)

    2. Its not an update that messed things up

    3. the problem is probably another program messing things up, but i dont know what.

    anyone know what it might be?
