Bug Planet Graphics Bugs

[grundyboy34]

I've been attempting to play the game for awhile now but no matter how I change the settings around, planets keep getting this weird graphical bug. As I get closer, it becomes a bigger, dark sphere, up until I pass through it.

That's the night side of the planet and yes they really need to make that transparent. It isn't a bug as far as I know and even I have tried to turn the atmosphere off many times and it doesn't turn off. >_>

Thanks for the info. Yeah it needs something done lol

Seen people try to snipe my docked turrets off a planet before from the dark side of it. Needless to say they crashed into the planet. Rather annoying seeing planets change about 3 to 5 times while approaching them too. >_>

This is not intended behaviour. I'll let our testers know to see if a report is currently on Phabricator.

Nice to know the strangeness with the planet atmosphere is actually a bug.

None of our testers have seen this before, sounds like it's a very specific issue to your system. What's your hardware? Can you also provide your settings.cfg? It could be a setting that causes this although I don't know which one.

hmm I'm on an intel graphics card but as for the rest of the info it is hard to remember how to get to it all. >_>

The configs on the other hand I can get to.

Thanks, could be possible that only intel HD graphics has issues with planets. Did you try to update the driver for it?

 

[StormWing0]

All drivers are updated. It's been like the black hemisphere for the dark side of planets since I downloaded the game. Also atmospheres never turn off for me even if the settings say they are.

Oh hm, I better look into that too ^^ If they don't disable then it's definitely a shader issue.

Dont post here often though i frequently read the site/forums

I can confirm I see the same issue using my laptop that has an intel HD4400 inbuilt graphics chip on the processor

I DO NOT see this behavior when playing on my desktop that has a GTX970 graphics card,

I know the game doesnt play that nice with inbuilt Intel graphics so ive always taken the above with a pinch of salt and put it down to crappy intel hd,

edit also my friend playing on a older HD4200 also see the same as above, adding to the fact it intel related

This seems not to be an issue just with planets, or even just with intel - Graphikcards. I have the same effects with my NVIDIA GTX660 on my multiplayer server, where i am not able to play, since the last update, because of this. Every time after logging in it takes about max a minute, everything is invisible for me, except the planet core and some rare fragments of structures.

But if i play on my local server, there is no planet near me, just my ship and a shop nearby, and after playing some minutes, nearly everything around me suddenly is invisible for me. Only some fragments stay visible. No chance to play like this
I thought, this is an official bug, so i was waiting for a fix since the 9. september...
I know, its in alpha state and shit happens but i like to play starmade really very much, and this way playing makes no sense. So i still hope for a fix for this "not a bug" in the near future
