Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.9.8.0

Xephorix · 06 May 2021 09:09

I haven't checked all of the reply pages, but I couldn't find any documentation of this issue elsewhere. I'm running a laptop with fully updated drivers and that (barely) exceed minimum requirements.

I have a bug where ~10 seconds after opening the program, the entire window will become a glitchy mess that blinks very rapidly (It will be fine for one frame, glitchy the next, then fine, glitchy, etc.).

(Screenshot is not full screen resolution, just enough to get the gist of the problem

)

Edit: I fixed the issue with Graphics Card Issues #2. But I felt It would be helpful if this were documented.

Hello! Is there a way to find (or re-generate) procedurally generated planetary system by part of its name?

For example, I found a system of red dwarf with 5 planets in Milky Way, somewhere in Scutum-Centaurus Arm, on peripheria of galaxy. When re-installing Windows, I (of course!) forgot to backupplaces-user.cfg, and lost all places I visit. But I saved a part of name of this system. I.e., now I have last part of name - "7-598414-666". So, the full name must be kind of "RS-8474-???????-7-598414-666" (I don't know number of galaxy sector for this place).

What numbers of galaxy sectors corresponds to Scutum-Centaurus Arm, and could the SpaceEngine re-generate planetary system by its name?

Space Engine has no ability to find system by part of name. Found a solution - generate all available RS names for Milky Way with this octree, and then visit all them via script using a GotoFast command. Qty of system in result was 33, and I found what i seek.

Got new g/card and just installed 0.9.8 again and found it not working because of the drivers and so found this thread but that discord link does not work no more, the discord messages never load? Is there a copy of the solution? Do you know the solution?
For me the link works.

But I made a copy of the post here:

0.9.8.0. FIX FOR NEW NVIDIA DRIVERS.
First of all, you need a program called NVIDIA profile inspector. I am including a link to the program.

https://nvidiaprofileinspector.com/down ... inspector/

The Program will look like this.

You will then go to the drop down menu near the top left and search for Space Engine. Click the profile that says SPACE ENGINE.

In the SPACE ENGINE profile, enable this setting for the Extention Limit in the dropdown menu. Pick the setting that says "Growtopia" Press Apply changes in the top right to finalize your settings. This worked for me. Not sure if this will work for everyone. But it worked for me and worth sharing.

If anyone tries this, let me know the results.

I did so, but in NVidia Profile Inspector I did not have the "Growtopia" function available, only "Off" or "On" and an error pops up: "Could not find critical extensions:
GL_ARB_vertex_program
GL_ARB_fragment_program
GL_ARB_shader_objects
GL_EXT_framebuffer_object
GL_ARB_texture_float
GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object
Update your graphics drivers or install hardware that meets the program's requirements

You need older driver version. Or upgrade SE to 0.990.

Hi,
I have a problem in SpaceEngine when I enter full screen mode. When I enter full screen mode the cursor disappears and it is very hard to use since I have no idea what I am clicking on as I can't see the cursor. It's not as immersive to just use windowed mode and I would like to be able to use full screen mode.

I am not sure if this is because my system is weak:
- Intel(R) HD graphics 610
- 4GB RAM
- Intel Pentium 4415U (2 cores/4 logical cores, 2.3GHz

Full screen mode also has some flickering bugs. Use windowed mode like I use, but let the system set the resolution it will set it to very close to your monitor resolution with just the frame around the edges of the window- in my case my 1280x1024 monitor supports a 1264x985 window.

Hi! I have a bug in SpaceEngine which concerns ships. When I create a ship, it starts hundreds of kilometers away from where I am at the time. Also, when I attempt to fly to another ship with autopilot, the ship reverts to its previous position when I turn autopilot off. This has also happened when I undock a ship. The se.log file is attached in case it helps.

To those people who have tried the NVidia Profile Inspector fix for the extension limit setting but not have the "0x0000A474 (Growtopia)" function available, only "Off" or "On" and when you select on you get an error pops up: "Could not find critical extensions:
GL_ARB_vertex_program
GL_ARB_fragment_program
GL_ARB_shader_objects
GL_EXT_framebuffer_object
GL_ARB_texture_float
GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object
Update your graphics drivers or install hardware that meets the program's requirements

The solution is very simple!
You have to physically TYPE into the extension box the extension limit ie type in : 0x0000A474 (Growtopia)

It then sets this extension...you just apply changes and it works a charm!

Am running an RTX 3090 in 4k....on 471.96 game ready driver!

ı found a solution, open your game folder (go space engine folder, not open it) and turn off read-only.

I can't get Space Engine to start. The splash screen shows for a few seconds and then disappears, but that's all that happens.

I have the following system:

Alienware Area-51m R2
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz
- 16.0 GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super

I have attached se.log.
