This has to be one of the weirdest things so I hope it can get fixed. So there was this bug where there was black rectangles on the title screen, and I wen't on the SE reddit page to fix it. It said to delete main-user.cfg. So I did, and it fixed the bug. But somehow, there was some "side effects." All my settings went back to default, when I go into the planetarium, the time says its the year 4 million or 4 billion. It also says im landed and rotating on the Sun. So now every time I start up the game, those side effects go into effect. So that means until this glitch/bug gets fixed, I have to put my settings back to what they were and go back to my previous location via Locations.

soldies501, could you please attach your se.log file which is located in your SpaceEngine/system/ folder, as requested in the first post of this thread?
you can use pastebin.com to copy-paste the text.

I dont know how to attach my se.log. Could you tell me how

you can use pastebin.com to copy-paste the text.

• go to https://pastebin.com
• paste the text that's inside se.log in the text area under "New Paste"
• scroll down and click on "create new paste" button
• copy the link of your pasted text from the address field of your browser (ex.
• paste the link in another post here

Oh ok. Here: 

Looks like there's a lot of rendering and procedural settings in that main-user.cfg file. I guess removing it regenerated that file to all the default settings? 

Ok thanks for that but I don't understand how the rest of the side effects happened or how to get rid of them.

soldies501, delete your spaceengine/config/save-user.cfg and see if it works. A new file will be generated by the default one.

okay, I used pastebin and this should work-

Can you please help me?

When I run the game as an administrator it says "SpaceEngine has stopped working. Do you know a solution to this?

JamesWebb197, I'm afraid your graphic card is the problem. You have 512MB of videoram, which is below minimum requirements , and the OpenGL version seems to be not 3.3 or newer, which is the minimum SE is using now.
Try and see if there are updated drivers for your ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, but I wouldn't count on that.

So what could I do?

I cannot buy or replace a graphic card or RAM.

Please help!

JamesWebb197, in the main-user.cfg file you could change this
to
I used to run SE on a 5870, it didn't run great but the ATI 5000 series should be capable of running it.

It didn't work!

Is there another solution!!!!
