Space Engine does not work, there is black boxes around text and planets are completely black. When it loads it also loads something "BUILDING SHADER CACHE". I have tried completely removing SE from my computer and reinstalling it again, and the black boxes arent removed. also it does not show my mouse, however it doesnt crash and i can still move in the game.

Hi, did you check the Troubleshooting and bug reports - 0980 section of the thread? Does your computer meet minimum specifications as described in the topmost message of that thread?

If it worked before then I guess it meets specifications...
Could you please attach your se.log which is located in your SpaceEngine/system/ folder?

Xoran,
delete the 'main-user.cfg' in the 'config' directory. SpaceEngine will then re-create this file from the 'main-def.cfg'.

Xoran,
I've recommended you to delete the 'main-user.cfg' because it is possible that an error has occurred in this file. This happens sometimes.

If you delete this file, SpaceEngine restores it. From the 'main-def.cfg'. Thats alright.

If the deletion of the 'main-user.cfg' does not solve your problem, then this is not the reason for your problem, and you should leave the 'main-user.cfg' in the future in peace.

I can not say then what is the reason for your problem. I can only recommend SpaceEngine to uninstall and then reinstall.
