Found the cause of the window saying "Loggin in -name here-" stay open and not letting the game load.
When i made a shorcut the error started showing up, and for whatever reason the shortcut does this about 30% of the time i start this up. No idea what causes this, but just thought i'd report it. When i switched back to the non-short cut and ran the launcher it worked.
Wow,
from the description you are giving, this is indeed a very strange bug. If you manage to replicate this bug again, could you send in a report after you closed the game (with the CrashAndBugRepoter.jar in the StarMade directory (it basically records the last session of starmade)).
Again thank you for reporting. Posts like this are the most important help to get StarMade bug free!
