I got this problem where when i start loading my game halfway through it crashes and gives me a the Fatal:null error message.

This is what it says on the Starsector log:

72200 [Thread-4] ERROR com.fs.starfarer.combat.CombatMain  - java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException
   at com.fs.graphics.TextureLoader.o00000(Unknown Source)

   at com.fs.starfarer.combat.CombatMain.main(Unknown Source)
   at com.fs.starfarer.StarfarerLauncher$1.run(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Does anyone know the solution to this?

Hi - sorry about the trouble!

Are you running with mods? Is this a fresh install of the game, or did it work before on this system?

I'd probably suggest a clean reinstall of the game (after saving off whatever you care about, i.e. saves/mods/screenshots), and a graphics driver update, though. This is an odd error and I'm fairly sure I haven't seen it before - if it's happening with vanilla, I'm thinking the install may be corrupted in some way.

There is no mods on my game yet and that it worked twice on two separate days before this happened.
So do I reinstall the game or do something else to fix it?

Yeah, I would suggest manually deleting the Starsector/ folder (after copying your saves somewhere, if you want to keep them) and then re-downloading and re-installing the game, just to be on the safe side and make sure you get a truly clean install. Especially given that it worked before, there's a good possibility of something getting corrupted.

(Another possibility might be windows automatically updating your graphics drivers - or something else - and that messing something up, but hopefully that's not the case and a clean install will fix things.)

Reinstalling the game helped fix the problem.
Thanks for the help.

Cool, glad that did the trick!
