After about 10 minutes of playing my camera starts glitching and spins downwards, and i have to restart the game. I have tried 3 times now and it still happens. What can i do?

Post your se.log. It is in the 'system' directory of SpaceEngine. You can use Pastebin for it. Just post the link here.

Found a new one I think: WISE 0458+6434 B is a T9.5 V brown dwarf showing up from Earth? It is ludicrously bright.

Look here: http://forum.spaceengine.org/viewtopic. ... 546#p30004

You are fast, I'll keep searching for... anomalies (those were the biggest and nearest ones, the rest wont be as easy for me xD)

JackDole, thank you for helping. Here is my se file: [url=[/url]

It is the density that matters. I'm sure a solution can be found to such huge galaxies, maybe making them a special type of galaxy, not just an oversized version of an ordinary galaxy.

You're right, it's not per galaxy. I have found the original post:

SE has a limit of number of stars per octree quad, and limit of an octree recursion depth. All this leads to limited star density in a very large galaxies.

Not sure how I turned these boxes and lines on. They only go off if I turn off Galaxies, Stars, etc.. 

Any ideas how to turn them off?

Having some troubles with nebulas. For some reason they look very grainy. I'm running the game on high and I haven't noticed this with other people's screenshots.

Switch the graphics settings to Custom. At the bottom of the settings window, try increasing the sliders for volumetric objects resolution while moving and while stationary.

I think those are octree boxes? Perhaps you pressed Y or U by accident, so try pressing them again.

0.990 will crash at random times, requiring a hard system reboot because the entire computer is locked up.

System:
i7-4790 Quad Core 3.6 GHz
8 GB System RAM
AMD Radeon R9 390 8 GB RAM
Windows 10

I cannot post the se log here because of the character limit and I cannot post it on pastebin because it is larger than 512 KB. Is there an attach file optin here?

When I had crashes on Win7 while going inside a particular nebula, and OS was still responding after SE crashed, but did not update displayed graphics except mouse cursor, I found that to restore normal working desktop I can press Win+L → "Switch User" → log in back. Win+L or Ctrl+Alt+Del worked somehow, but the actual desktop did not fix for me until I tried to "Switch User" and go back, not even needing to choose a different system login.

By the way, crashes stopped after I selected "low" graphics preset instead of "high" default, and I could finally dive into the dust cloud.
If anyone wants to test, the problematic nebula was this:

A bit later I stumbled upon some other post on this forum and tweaked SpaceEngine\config\main-user.cfg file a little, but cannot say if it helped at all:

VideoMemoryReserved 150
CacheSizeNebModelsVRAM 40

Except that nebula, I only ever had one crash in v0.9.9.0 - on a planet surface while in fullscreen and Alt+Tabbing oftenly out of it. Not sure why, the log states "loading this, saving that", and then just ends. It did not crash while saving a screenshot. Probably while loading terrain textures. The desktop remained fully working at that time too.

Here is that log, just for record:


I must say, the "low" settings are not bad, and certainly look better than I expected. I only turned some checkboxes back on, set aurora to high, and crank up the terrain LOD using hotkeys when I think the landscape is really worth some wait of loading to take a screenshot. I save IDs of places anyway to possibly revisit them with better hardware or updated SE terrain generation some day later.

One thing I don't like is the graphics setting resetting back to "high" after each SE update, but I kinda understand, with Early Acces and updates to engine and such.

I also think, preset gradation can be stretched a bit, so "high" is mapped to a higher level cards than 4 GB. People can always tweak up all the stuff they want, but possibility of crash may become less by default. Another suggestion (I don't know if it's even possible) is to downgrade graphics gracefully on the fly instead of crashing.

You can upload the log (maybe in a zip if it's big) to some file hosting, for example Dropbox, MEGA, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, etc etc.
There are existing filesharing services without registration too.

[color=#dddddd][size=100]Hi, please help me I seem to have a frozen space engine menu.[/size][/color]

[color=#dddddd][size=100]I just downloaded space engine 0.990 and began messing around with the graphics settings and used the planetarium a bit, everything seemed fine until I clicked on the ultra high graphics setting (while in the main menu). Space engine froze so I closed and reopened it, but ever since then every time I try to open space engine, it opens to the frozen menu. [/size][/color]

[color=#dddddd][size=100]Moving the cursor around does nothing, none of the options highlight when the mouse hovers above them, clicking them does nothing, basically I can't use space engine now. Also when I was messing around with the screenshot settings, when I was in the solar system and used the automatic or manual settings, the sun would have black "splotches" then when the HDR mode was selected they would go away. [/size][/color]

Hi, please help me I seem to have a frozen space engine menu.

I think SpaceEngine is not frozen. You just have to wait awhile for SpaceEngine to make the new settings. That may take a while.

ζ Puppis, aka Naos, has a mass that is over double that on wikipedia (so I am questioning which one is right), and it is showing up with 0 oblateness despite supposedly having a ridiculous rotation for that kind of star. And due to being a Alpha Cygni variable should probably look "bubbly".

(Is there a better place to post issues in the catalog or something?)

I've noticed a couple possible bugs, strictly cosmetic in nature. The first causes specific procedural planets' atmospheres to appear tinted green; it can be corrected by opening the planet editor and clicking Restore Planet, or by rebooting SpaceEngine.

Secondly, the Astroniki diffraction spikes don't appear the correct color anymore at a certain distance from a star (how they worked in 0.980). Up close to the star, they appear the correct color, but fade to plain white as the camera is moved further away. On other occasions, moving the camera can cause the spikes to flicker between multiple colors. I've tried everything between updating my graphics drivers and changing settings within SpaceEngine, but nothing seems to correct it.

Running all smooth and fine here, I am one big happy space dog
Just 1 thing: the magnitude camera settings are not saved? For instance, I set the magnitudes of all to 7.7 and the deep sky objects to 8.5. Next time I start SE that all is set to back to the standard 7.0.
Also I am not allowed in-game to register the se:// protocol. Run as normal user or administrator, the error "Cannot register protocol. Make sure you have write permissions in the system registry.". I do have all the rights there so that should be no problem.
