As the title says, pressing launch doesn't do what it should do.
It just closes the launcher and never starts up the starmade connection setup. The 3 processes in the background don't stop running though and the javaw.exe doesn't boot up too.

On ubuntu 12.04, when attempting to launch the game, this error message is written to the console, if the launcher is started from console:
(the absolute path to the personal folder was manually replaced by ~)

java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)
Newest build at http://sm-launcher-test.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?prefix=jobs/Launcher/58/ resolves this issue.
Game starts again now for me.
there are 3 task open while the game is started alongside the Java.exe .. is that intended ?
they are gone after ending SM
-QA Testing-
64 bit version works fine, the 32 bit windows version download however doesn't have a bundled java so it doesn't work.
Assuming this is resolved ~
The missing win32 java dependency will be addressed with the next launcher release. If you are still having issues, please create another ticket!
-QA Testing-
Still occurring on ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04, other linux versions are likely also affected.
What errors get thrown in ubuntu 14.04 x64? Is it trying to launch the game before downloading it? Are there any missing files/dependencies, ex ~/dep/java/jre1.7.0_80/bin/java?
I've so far been unable to reproduce the behavior.
as for the three background processes not closing: this is expected behavior if the launcher crashes.
-QA Testing-
Not fixed, at least on ubuntu linux 14.04 32bit. Tester information field updated with new log. Does occur on 64bit ubuntu linux 12.04 too, unless the environment path is manually set to the launcher's install folder beforehand. Thus assuming the cause to be a path resolving issue.
