I got an error message updating SE but restarted it and it seemed to go through okay....although I didn't get the shaders loading message so I'm not sure the update went through.....it says i'm on version 1813.....is this the latest version?

I'm trying to work out how to generate some SplinePaths, and the docs are a bit vague as to what goes into the SpineData field.

array of knot points: multiple lines in the form of (time, pos.x, pos.y, pos.z, rot.w, rot.x, rot.y, rot.z), enclosed in a curly braces.

Time is clear (seconds from t0)
Position I have determined through trial and error to be in parsecs from the object given in the Body field.

Rotations, I'm not sure what unit these are in?
Nor can I work out what defines the base coordinate axes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think I've seen the bug mentioned before, but I can't find the post. Either way it's either a new report or a "#metoo"

.

I also encountered a similar bug. On the back of the planet, diffraction can be seen through a light source (such as a volcano). This bug has not been fixed in the latest version. However, you can solve this problem by turning off Diffraction Spikes in the Visual style tab.

I hope SE officials can really solve this problem, it has been around for a long time.

Hello, i didn't find a similar thing so i post here...i have a crash problem related to the wiki tab, doesn't matter if i'm in flight mode or planetarium, surface or orbit...i disabled MSAA and things seemed to get better but then after a while in game if i try to open the info tab for a specific object (the one where am i or another in the distance) the game crash without error and then if i restart i went back to a previous location
this problem started to happen after the last update, and i've noticed when i start to use the flight sim, but then i noticed it was also present in planetarium mode
hope someone can help me

Someone else I think reported a similar issue, Stefandreus, can you upload your se.log from the SpaceEngine \system folder?

Sure

Stefandreus, I can confirm that others have reported this and it's something that devs are investigating. We have more or less the same configuration, but I can't reproduce the issue. Stay tuned.

I think I did it right...
Sorry for the late reply.
You have a graphics card, an 'AMD Radeon HD 8670D', it is only integrated into the processor.
I found several warnings in your log file:
Code: Select all
[MT] WARNING: seShader::InitUniformBuffer(): Uniform Block not found: "HdrDownUniforms"
...
[MT] WARNING: seShader::InitUniformBuffer(): Uniform Block not found: "ProjCylinderUniforms"
...
[MT] WARNING: seShader::InitUniformBuffer(): Uniform Block not found: "MipmapDownUniforms"
...
[MT] WARNING: seShader::InitUniformBuffer(): Uniform Block not found: "MipmapDownUniforms"
...
[MT] WARNING: seShader::InitUniformBuffer(): Uniform Block not found: "TgCommonUniforms"
...
Maybe these are the problem.
You could delete the 'cache' folder in the SpaceEngine directory. (I don't think it will be deleted if SpaceEngine is uninstalled.)
If that doesn't help, you can revert to the previous version of SpaceEngine until the problem has been resolved by the developers:
Beta-0.990.39.png
(As far as I know, there have been some problems with AMD cards lately.)

I tried that but the game gets stuck loading forever if it's selected.

As I said here:

By the way, this version is now also in the main branch. So you can go back to the main branch.

It's very strange that game is placing carbon polymeric life on this planets and third of them looks like this:

waterphage13, yes it's a known bug.
