SpaceEngine 0.980 doesn't work anymore with Nvidia drivers newer than 436.02 for some hardware combinations.
A user of the SpaceEngine Discord server has been able to solve this issue for his computer and someone else confirmed it worked for him too. The message has some images linked so I'll leave a link here: https://discordapp.com/channels/1489338 ... 2265397310

Hi Mosfet, i can't open the link, is there something i need to do to open it? sorry i'm new to this stuff, thx b4

It's been published by a discord user in the SpaceEngine Discord server, so you need a Discord account in order to reach it.

So lately I may have ran into a quite nasty bug in the game, while I'm not entirely sure yet what causes the glitch (possibly using the planet scaling or the map mode), I know it causes every planet's texture to completely freak out whenever the camera moves, making known planet unrecognizable if not blinding sometimes as the lighting also goes off.

Anyone has any ideas? Sometimes it feels like an epilepsy crisis because of flashing lights..

Delete the 'cache' folder in your SpaeEngine directory.
And maybe your graphics setting is a little high and your video ram is running out.

I've first tried the graphic settings, I was on average, but the glitch still showed up even when I set it on low. That and the cahe folders keeps showing back up everytime I boot up the game.

It seems that your graphics driver is not suitable for the old version (0.980). Please purchase 0.990 on steam, which supports new graphics driver.

i found this bug with the procedural generation in 0.990 it is a bug with tidal locking a y type star was around a red dwarf star and here is a planet around the y type star and that planet is tidally locked to the y type star

Ok so i wanted to create a new star, i followed all of the steps at http://spaceengine.org/manual/making-ad ... ng-a-star/ to do it, but it doesn't work, my star is not created i don't know why

My script is like this:

Star    “Mono”
{
    RA       16 10 45  // right ascension
    Dec     -25 12 11  // declination
    Dist     100.0     // distance from the Sun
    Class   “G2V”      // spectral class
    Lum      1      // luminosity
    RadSol   1      // radius in Solar radii
    MassSol  1      // mass in Solar masses
    Teff     5800      // surface temperature in Kelvin
    NoPlanets true
}

And this is where i put the file:

Also i don't know if it's relevant to my problem but i also noticed that when i add the script to the catalogs/stars folder the game freezes like this:

I don't know if freeze is the correct term, since i can see that the clock in the bottom left corner is still running though i can't click on anything, and clicking on the "Close" button on the bottom right seems to take the game out of that frozen state.

You have the wrong quotation marks. You have the curved ones (“ ”), but you need the straight quotes (").
(All of the quotation marks in the sample scripts in the manual are incorrect.)

Try this:

Star    "Mono"
{
    RA       16 10 45  // right ascension
    Dec     -25 12 11  // declination
    Dist     100.0     // distance from the Sun
    Class   "G2V"      // spectral class
    Lum      1      // luminosity
    RadSol   1      // radius in Solar radii
    MassSol  1      // mass in Solar masses
    Teff     5800      // surface temperature in Kelvin
    NoPlanets true
}
