spaceman and battlekruiser, have you tried deleting the whole SpaceEngine folder (the folder, not the game), and then reinstalling Space Engine

I'm seeing this on planets close to stars, the terrain goes transparent when zooming out. But zoomed in close enough, it appears solid. Didn't happen in the previous versions. I have the latest graphics drivers installed.

This is known issue with atmospheres (not the terrain), and will be fixed for the next version.

oh and just in case anyone forgot i'm still getting the black screen bug.
it happens with big stars and comets. probably texture of the surface or corona.

EDIT: this occasionally happens on stars when I'm on a planet's/asteriod's surface.

spaceguy, did you try updating your Intel drivers? As far as I can see yours date back in july 2015

Windows' ability to update drivers is subpar. Look up the Intel Driver Update utility. It works better at updating graphics drivers.

Thanks love!

edit:
welp...

which driver exactly is from 2015?
edit: welp i updated it, it's still happening tho so idk.
EDIT AGAIN: so apparently it didn't update because there is no latest graphic driver update for my computer (Aspire E5-71P) unless I'm missing something.

Spaceguy, I'm afraid I can't read part of your attachments. The only Aspire I see with i5 1.7GHz processor is E5-571P-55TL (it should be written under your notebook), but you should have touchscreen as well. It came with Windows 8, I assume Microsoft gently pushed it towards [s]spyware[/s] Windows 10.
If this is the case, and your processor is indeed i5-4210U, here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26229/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-15-40-4th-Gen-?product=81497 there's the latest Intel HD graphics driver for your hardware. It's august 2016, but I would try it anyway.

which one you're having problems reading?
if it's ''mydispair'', right click into new tab and zoom in. it's pixely but readable.
it is indeed E5-571P-55TL.

i tried your link and this came up.

It means Acer doesn't allow generic Intel drivers installed in that hardware, probably because it's customized in some way.
The only chance would be manual installation from the zip version of the package, but I should warn you to do that only if you have experience in managing such installations.
Intel released some instructions on how to do it manually

so I guess it's Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400.

04 Mar 2017 17:27

Yep, the drivers I linked are for Intel HD family, i5 with HD graphics 4400 included.

I found a procedural dwarf selena with crazy spikes. I tried removing my shader mods to be sure, but there is no change, the planet is still very spiky.

The RS code is high because I'm using the SDSS and Kexitt galaxy mods; Really I am just in the Milky Way, however I am using HarbringerDawn's darker MW mod, so I don't know if this planet exists without it.

Is this planet bugged, or no?

Hi

The texture of virtually all procedurally generated mountains I've visited exhibit the same stripe-like pattern seen in the attached screenshot (Coordinates below). At first I though it represented sediment layers, but I have not seen them this pronounced in screenshots from other people. They look kind of nasty too me, anyone know how to get rid of them?

snuggles,
These are sediment deposits. And I think they look good.
