If you remove the galaxy add-ons, the old places will of course be the same as before.

Thanks JD!  I will use your workaround and if it proves to be too much I always have the ability to remove the addons

starting up the game, it doesnt open the program, why?

Hi!
I've just downloaded the program yesterday, and I've tried to solve this problem with the help of this site, but I'm not such an expert.
I can't see neither planets (on the right side bar they are enabled) nor zoomed stars. The strange thing is that the auroras are visible, and the flares of stars too. At Vega I've seen planets and the Saturn's moons as small dots, but when I zoomed, they've disappeared. I've checked, I've downloaded all the required files, the data isn't missing. 
Please help me!

Alphecca, I'm afraid your integrated Intel HD graphics 3000 it's not compatible with SE 0.980.

There are problems with newer Nvidia drivers in SE 0.980.

I have recently downloaded SpaceEngine 0.980 from the main website & i have installed it successfully , but i am unable to launch the game . 
I have Nvidia RTX 2060 Super graphics card with 8Gb graphics memory & 32 GB Ram ,Ryzen 5 3600X Processor , My nvidia driver version is 457.30
Can you please help me to fix the issue & run the game .

sambit, read the message posted before yours

Still won't work for me. Even when I do the growtopia thing Jackdole says, it won't work. 

I had some old drivers for the longest time (if it ain't broke, etc...), but took a shot and updated them recently. Now using driver version 457.30 as above. Turns out I did not have to do anything to get S.E. 9.8.0 to work, it just rebuilt the stuff in the cache folder, and went on as before.

The one difference I may have — still using Windows 7, 64-bit.

Here is a weird Bug I encounter, I installed Space Engine on my portable SSD, when I open it in my labtop, the music player works fine, but when I open it on my desktop, I can't hear any sound effects or music.
