I set the resolution to 800x600 and turned sounds off (by setting volume to 0).  All other settings are at default besides Graphics settings which are as follows

Anistropy- 16, since AF does not really impact the graphics card

Antialiasing 2x, I tried 4x but menus became slow

FXAA, Dithering both set to on

Aurora and Ship Warp quality set to high

Black Hole quality low since higher levels caused problems with scrolling (high CPU impact.)

LOD 0.0 because higher LOD made it take a long time to load textures

Loading speed 30, higher load speed caused scrolling delays, lower load speed caused an excessive amount of time to load dense star areas like the center of the galaxy

everything else kept at default

Loading speed has nothing to do with loading stars, it only affects landscapes (and I think in 0.980 there is a bug which makes it have no effect at all).

HD I am seeing a bug - or maybe this has to do with an add-on I need to remove?   If I visit a large number of planets in a short time (like 5 planets in 30 min) the landscape loading indicator keeps running (the circular thing in the upper right) and if I click on the solar system diagram, the member planets of that system keep blinking.  Sometimes the planetary landscapes load slowly and while they are loading I can see through them.  Eventually, if I visit enough planets, the program crashes and I have to reload the program.  Upon reloading, the same issues start happening again and I have to do an entire reboot to get them to stop.  The other thing besides loading planet landscapes which causes this is if I visit a black hole and then go to a planet.  What do you think is going on and how can I fix this issue?

I think those sound like typical SE issues and I doubt you can do anything about it.

Yeah I get the same problem too, followed often by a crash.

I'm used to having to restart SE often.
