yes it is. could you check if Starbound has access to the universe folder in your storage folder? i actually don't know how to do this but i do know that it may be a cause

 

Here is my observation earlier when I am trying to figure out what is happening.
Here is the default content of the directory starbound/storage/universe

Then, once I run starbound_server.exe It will create a "universe.lock" file in that same directory

 

thats whats supposed to happen, so idk what exactly is going on then. wen i had the issue it couldn't create the universe.lock

 

Maybe the server can access it but not the game???

 

try seeing what happens when the universe and player folders r elsewhere. what should happen is new folders are made and after creating a new character the game starts up normally with universe.lock added

 

I've entered the world, I SEE universe.lock in universe folder, I start the starbound_server and "cannot acquire lock".

 

when fix???
