FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

So, I loaded this game just a few weeks ago.. First tried the minimal development tester thingie and it works fine. Mined a few blocks and crafted couple of stairs and planted a tree. Now thinking I'm gonna try the real deal, I go and create a single-player world, give it a nice name and all and then press Play. It starts loading.. Aaaand then gets stuck at the Media point. Every. Single. Time.

Now my problem might be simple, or rather, the answer might be simple, I just haven't thought of it because I know next to nothing about how games actually work.. So.. Keep that in mind.

P.S. I think the game is mocking me.. ''ERROR[main]: Something failed'' Like, really?

P.P.S. Umm.. I'm so noob(<-- do they even say that anymore) that I don't know what info you might want.. I have Windows.. Does that help?

Is it reproducible for every world created with "minetest" subgame?

Could you paste the contents of the files "map_meta.txt", "env_meta.txt", and "players/singleplayer" from "worlds/Bobo/" ?

I think I've found them..
So this is what's inside map_meta:

I don't know the problem. I suggest you try one of these 0.4.7 unstable builds. If one fails you, try another.
