I'd like that too. But SE 0.971 still works to some extent. That's why I am currently working mainly with this version.

No.
But you can try on this page if one of the links works. http://old.spaceengine.org/load/old_ver ... 1/4-1-0-18
(The second from above works: Indie DB)

Thanks everyone!  I finally fixed my "e" patch problems and textures and black holes are working properly!  I'll post screenshots in the patch thread.  The water ripples again :-)  And the program even runs faster than before so I was able to increase the resolution at the same settings- now I'm running it in 1024x768 mode instead of 800x600.  I've kept LOD at 0.

Yay! :)

And did you get the hang of moving around with the arrow keys?

Working on that now lol, I also was trying to see more stars without blowing out their colors.  This is almost as tricky as actually taking pictures of them!  This is what I have so far.

hey ppl.
for me, close orbits are always collapsing when the time is accelerated. i partly solved it with
PhysicsTick   0.001 in the user cgf. now orbits are stable on time x3000. on the other hand, the ships started to turn wierdly quickly, wich was fixwd with
TurnEngines  0.0002 in the sss files.
anyone knows a better solution? or maybe a solution  for bigger time acceleration?
thanks, and sorry if my english is fukked lol. not my native obviously...

Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.9.8.0

10 Sep 2017 05:50

Hello everybody! It's me again here!

So, a few days ago, after I had to format my laptop due to severe viruses and/or registry damage in Windows 10, I decided to format it and have it re-install Windows 7 (after having backed up my precious files, of course!). I also decided to install Linux alongside of it (dual-boot) after, and I have to say I absolutely love this operating system!

However, there is just one problem, for now. That problem being, that I cannot seem to properly run SpaceEngine, using PlayOnLinux (an app built on top of Wine). I have tried this guide posted before on this forum already, but it sadly did not fully work yet. I managed to succesfully run the installer .exe via PlayOnLinux, but when I try to boot the program, it soon shows an error, saying "Error loading surface generator shaders. Press YES to run program with procedural planets disabled. Press NO to exit". The se.log file is also full of errors like these:
[MT] ERROR: Compiling shader "#/shaders/hdr_down.glsl": 

0:1(10): error: GLSL 3.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.00 ES, and 3.00 ES
I have attached the full se.log file to this post. Furthermore, I have tried running SpaceEngine on Windows 7 on this laptop, and it worked flawlessly (after using AMD auto driver detect to update my graphics card drivers). Has anyone here before had any success running SpaceEngine (preferrably 0.9.8.0, of course), on Linux? And if so, would they please be kind and provide me with a tutorial on how to do so properly, or how to fix the errors shown in my se.log file? I thank you greatly in advance!

Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.9.8.0

So I figure this is the place to post this issue but I'm getting near constant crashes on my new system. I am using a few mods such as the planet pallets, Krexitt's galactic models and Rodrigo's planet overhaul. But I didn't experience crashes this frequently on my old system which was a FX 8350 @ 4.4ghz, R9 290 and 8 gb ddr3 @ 1866mhz. My new system is an i5 7500 at stock speeds of course, a GTX 1060 6gb and 16 gb ddr4 @2400mhz. I'm starting to think that despite the 7500 being a MUCH MUCH better chip that SpaceEngine is missing those extra 4 threads on my older FX chip. I have no idea if it's that or the mods.

Only way to find it, is temporarily remove your addons. 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?

@Mosfet,
I think I've found the issue. I used to always run SE with a star magnitude limit of 8.0 or more, I turned it down to slightly under 8 say 7.7 or 7.8 and it doesn't crash anymore. These results are too close to a margin of error that I can only blame it on a slight quirk of the chipset/platform but thanks for the help :)

I do the same thing, I find it slightly annoying that the mag limit is different at different FOV lol.  I keep FOV and mag limit and exposure at default values on start up but change them based on scenery and time.  Another thing you can do is reduce the resolution, I have SE set to 8.60 lim mag right now at 45 degree FOV and set window size to 1024x768- it runs fine.  CPU usage stays in the 40-45 pct range.

I found an interesting disconnect when trying different settings.  At FOV of 45 degrees and over, if you boost exposure to 11 or higher you can see stars a magnitude dimmer than the Mag limit- for example I could see  stars down to mag 8.5 with a Mag limit of 7.40  However when I set an FOV of 30 degrees, 15 degrees or 1 degree, I couldn't see Mag 8.5 stars unless my Mag limit was 8.4 or lower, no matter what the Exposure setting was.  On the plus side I could see them even when keeping the Exposure setting to 1 at those FOVs as long as my Mag limit was 8.4 or dimmer.  Confusing thing is, it'll still indicate when I'm pointing to a star a magnitude dimmer than my Mag limit at the narrower FOVs (for example 9.5 when my Mag limit is 8.4) but it won't actually show the star no matter how high my exposure is.

Thanks for the advice! Although I will say I will settle on a lower magnitude limit as I didn't just buy this 32 inch monitor to play SE in a small window. =P
