Every time i attempt to land on a planet
________________________________________________________________________
Description:
Every time i attempt to land on a planet the game freezes. more specificly, the screen turns white, i assume this is a basic loading screen, and the little chat thing reports that a bunch of things are loading/loaded. then it stops working. at first i thought maybe it was just going slow, but then once i left it for like 3 hours and when i came back it was still the same.

Steps to Replicate:
i assume you'll just need to try to land on a planet, but since noone else seems to have this problem that probably won't work... so i dunno

- Is this all planets or just one

- I assume this is fullscreen... have you tried it windowed, and if so is there an error message (either from the game, or a firewall)

Thanks for the info, matt..
I've changed the popup for 0.50 so it wont appear if you're in fullscreen mode.

It shouldnt be appearing anyway, coz their name & pass should already be validated by the time they get to that point in the game - but i've noticed a slight inconsistency in some of the login code where one bit insists on a password of at least 4 characters, but another bit complained if its less than 5. This might explain a lot of ppl's issues with connecting to worlds, so hopefully the fix in the next version will stop a lot of those 'cant land on planet' bug reports.
