Starmade | Oculus support does not give proper error messages
Confirmed task for development, LowPublic
Actions

Description

#1
I found that if you turn on the Oculus support and press "OK" at the window of "StarMade Connection Setup"
And you are not connecting any Oculus, the game will crash. After that, when you reopen the launcher and press "start"
The window "StarMade Connection Setup" won't show up at all, so you can't even disable the Oculus Support,
Unless you go to server.cfg and turn true to false at the line for oculus support

#2
Lancake
I turned it on, restarted my launcher, got a nullpointer, pressed retry and got in the setup menu. After that I got a second nullpointer trying to connect to a server, pressed OK and I was back in the setup menu. I disabled oculus support and everything was fine again.
This isn't exactly game breaking but maybe the messages should be clear.

First nullpointer => "Oculus Rift device not found"
Second nullpointer => "Oculus Rift device not found, disable oculus rift support"

Side note: after the second nullpointer my username did not log out properly, could not rejoin as that name.
