A-L-E-X,
sorry, I've overlooked that you still have Windows XP.
A-L-E-X,
It seems to be ReShade - I've done a fresh install of 0.9.8.0 and without ReShade installed everything was as it should be. As soon as I installed ReShade again the planets are gone.amoebae, could you please attach your se.log file which is located in your SpaceEngine/system/ folder? Do you have a screenshot? Are your planets/galaxies/stars disabled? Check with F4.
First is probably intentional.Got a couple of issues. First one, I'm not entirely sure if it's a bug, or intentional, but the flight mode does not appear to have any sort of self-righting or stability as an aircraft would. So if I were to roll, for instance, it would continue rolling, without either slowing the roll down until it no longer rolls, or returning to a set reference point (such as what is considered level when using either the horizon or orbit interfaces). That said, I'm quite certain that this is either an intentional feature, or some control I might have missed.
The second issue is more annoying, and I'm guessing is definitely a bug. I've noticed that when I rotate the view, be that just a simple rotation of the camera around a planet, or a vehicle rotating, there appears to be lines shooting out randomly and frequently from the center of the screen. This is usually accompanied by what looks like a distant star in the center of the screen whenever these lines flicker into view. I'm currently uploading a video to YouTube to demonstrate this particular bug. Will edit this post in about an hour.
It is custom I built it myself with a window case. I will increase the speed of the fans and turn on air conditioning in the room even in the winter. That always helps. It has a dual slot cooler. Is 80C going to shorten the life of the card? My understanding is 80C is fine and will not shorten its life?A-L-E-X, unfortunately you're right and I can confirm that your drivers are the latest available for Win XP.
Depending on the conditions and accumulated mileage of your graphic card, and if heating is discarded with the help of a fan or only passive radiators, I think it's possible that your GPU reach 100 Celsius, Space Engine make abundant use of that chip and video RAM memory, which in your case is less than 1GB minimum suggested.
This could also be the reason for some crash, high temperature and aging VRAM could raise the chances of a memory addressing problem.
I think it would be better for the card to work with lower temp so I'd suggest you to check if said fan is working and to use something like a can of compressed air to clean up possible dust clogs from the card.
If it's a custom PC case, sometimes even if it isn't, there's the possibility to force better air flowing with the installation of a 80mm case fan, thus lowering overall internal temperature. Your mainboard could have pins to attach and control that fan via BIOS, but it's not really necessary.
