The game might have continued to work after the first stacktrace, but it crashed on the second one every time (and the first one is not there most of the time). The third one seems to happen on exit of the jvm.

There's just one thing I don't understand, you say that you get this exception quite often, but I can play for many hours on, and never get any exceptions. :(
There must be something different in the way we play.

I see three differences:
  • I always use the launcher
  • I connect over IPv6
  • I use linux
It was much better before a0.4.3. It should not be a different in the way we play because I get that crash in very different situations (doing nothing, killing pirates, "walking" around in space, etc.).

About an hour gave me this.

May still need a bit of work, but that's the base I'm intending on drawing from.

a0.4.5 seems to have a bug where the whole window becomes black. Bear and I had it.

So the game is unplayable now?

I had that bug two times in 30 minutes.

I'm on the newest version, and tried to connect to the game. I've got the Tachyon Universe file downloaded. First I tried the one that was automatically there, 127.0.0.1 with port 30303. That didn't work.

I also switched over to the one it says to use in the original post for if you don't have the tachyonuniverse file. That didn't work.

Did I install the file in the wrong place? I put it in server.

Two ways:
  • Download a0.4.5 from the link in the first post and fill the connect dialog with the address and the port from the first post.
  • Click the launcher download link and click the link called "Link". Open the downloaded file if it does not open it automatically. It should show a few security dialogs and a settings dialog, start the game and automatically connect to the server.

"Unable to connect!"

Looks like just a stock message in game. Would it have given a report somewhere in the game files?

EDIT: And it worked this time.
