Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.9.8.0

PlutonianEmpire · 01 Aug 2017 21:02

While working on my custom Kepler-16, I accidentally triggered the bug involving tidal locked clouds, and in addition discovered another bug: The ring shadow on the clouds got flipped.

I included three .sc files: the original from my addons folder, the exported planet, and exported system. I'm including these just in case because the bug seems too random and hard to produce.

Hello! i appear to have a bug.
i really want to name my Moon "Romtétho-diströlis'otella"
but it does not work!! The text just ends up looking like this

:o
even with all accented letters gone and other symbols it does the same thing.

It works in Celestia though!

I have to do this!
Trust me, this is how it needs to be named, i have no other choice!

Read the forum rules, you need to make 10 posts in existing threads before you can edit posts or create new threads.

I do not know how you solved your problem. Especially the part with the 'fix in the addons folder' irritates me somewhat. You do not need a fix. You only need to save your script in the 'ANSI' format, not in 'UTF.8' format. SpaceEngine does not work with 'UTF-8'

Critical error - Obsolete OpenGL version.

I am receiving the following message on trying to start Space Engine:

You have Obsolete OpenGL version (1.1).
Update your graphics card driver or install compatible hardware.

My graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 7970M(Linked). The driver software is 17.10.3211.1031-170704a-316 030C-CrimsonReLive
My graphics card software is up-to-date and says that it has OpenGL version 6.14.10.13476

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Gaters, if you have a CPU with integrated graphics, make sure you force SE to use your Radeon graphics card, or disable integrated graphics in the BIOS. SE should do this automatically, but it's worth checking. Also, it would be helpful if you would upload your log file as described in the opening post.

I found 2 specs in a black hole. Could be stars???

HarbingerDawn,
Thank you for your reply. I have checked and SE is set to use the Radeon graphics card, but I still get the critical error.
Please see the attached log file.
Any advice gratefully received.

The first quadruple star system with the Exoplanet PHI Kepler-64 b is incorrect in version 0.980, but is correct in versions 0.972 and 0.973. The error is that the planet doesn’t lie within the Barry center of this system. In another words, both sets of stars orbit the planet. The planet should orbit one set of the stars in this system. Hopefully this can be corrected in version 0.981. I hope this helps!

Hopefully this can be corrected in version 0.981

Until this is done, you can use this script.

// Filename: Kepler-64b.sc

// Put in 'addons\catalogs\planets'

Remove "PH1/Kepler-64 b" {ParentBody "Kepler-64"}

Seeing how I can't post a new post I'll ask for help here.

Is there a fix for all the crashing I'm having. I can get a few minutes into the program but then space engine is not working.

Spects
I7 4770 3.4 ghz
16 gb ddr3 memory
RX 480 8gbs

I have no addons I have messed with the cache stars (ie more stars) and planet's landscape in the config but this would crash even before all that just with a fresh install.

For some reason if I go close to a supergiant star or a giant star that isnt red/orange colored, my screen goes black. My computer meets all the criteria, but when the screen goes black, I have to turn my camera till it goes back to normal. I don't know what the problem is, but idk if its a graphics error or what. While the screen goes black, im still able to play the game, but its just a black screen and I can still see the cursor.

Disable comet tails. (Sixth symbol from the top in the right toolbar.)
There seems to be a problems with some graphics cards in this version of SpaceEngine.
(Planets that are close to giant stars, develop comet tails.)

For Nvidia users: Does anybody know if this issue occurs with their 0980 installation (or 0981 if they have access to it) and the latest Nvidia Driver version(s) after ver 382.53 which is the last working version without this issue for me at least?
I really don't want to stay with this version for much longer cause I sometimes play other games which may require a later version at some point.
