    Another crash occured (with runtime error)

    This usually happens if you have: An outdated version of Space Engine or are using outdated Addons.

    Crashman1390, it's great that you want to be helpful, but if you're going to give advice make sure you know what you're talking about first.

    Faint grid pattern visible on the surface of water on some planets:


    I can't really see it on the images you posted, but I imagine it's similar to what I reported here?

    Yeah I believe so.

    Also, the bug with the lines is not a new bug as I've seen it on asteroids in 0.96. Asteroids seem particularily prone to this or maybe it's just much more noticeable on them because they have a very few number of quads compared to planets or moons.

    I was responding to Methis's post that they linked to, but yeah he/she probably meant that this bug hadn't been reported in 0.97 yet.

    I just noticed that i have reported the problem in a wrong section (sorry for that wink ) so HarbingerDawn, if you want you can move my post under "Troubleshooting - SpaceEngine 0.97" anyway onto the subject

    The crash occurs after 5-8 min of consecutive usage no matter what i do, i did a fresh install without any addons or made any changes to the settings. Maybe if i do an update to my video drivers although i do have 311.06 but i dont think thats the problem and yes i tried changing all 3 "modes" Asychronous/Interleaved/immediate but that didn't help either

    Hello everyone, SpaceEngine has become my favorite wallpaper tool :D. However, I am unable to take screenshots in my optimum resolution due to the inability to switch to fullscreen.

    My keybind is CTRL-Enter, doing this does nothing. I tried remapping it to something else, still a no go.

    I saw that there was a console, and decided to open it and see what the error was. Everytime I try and switch it yields this.

    Code
    ERROR: ToggleFullScreen(): ChangeDisplaySettings() returned -2


    Searching the forum and google, I was unable to find anything on my particular case.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Do you by any chance have a more than one monitor?

    That was my hunch.

    You might want to set UseDesktopSettings to false and set ScreenSizeX and ScreenSizeY to the desired values (your screen's resolution).

    This is one bug I keep getting constantly with each attempt (100% repro). The game crashes each time I try to export a skybox. occurs no matter if I'm on a planet or in space away from any large objects.

    I don't have crashes when exporting planet textures or anything else so far.

    Found a bug. You can't see a textures on planets like here in 0.97. It uses only snow textures (upper row in the file terra_pack.png), although it correctly colored. It will be fixed in the next patch.

    I spotted this while looking around a challenge galaxy. If the secondary planet of a barycenter has life, the primary planet doesn't show the moon as having life on it. This one might be an old bug or may just be an oddity of the way barycenters work.

    I don't know if this is a bug or not but I think I should post it anyway (had a quick look at the header post but couldn't find it among the list but if it's already there please excuse me wink ): After prolonged time acceleration and while travelling from our solar syste to the interstellar space using one spacecraft (I have disabled all but one spacecraft in spacecrafts.sc in config folder) I have noticed a blue dot far far away from our sol.system and out to the whereabouts of sirius. So I tried to follow it with the spacecraft and teleported it there and found out it's a comet that has left the solar system and is travelling in interstellar space. The comet is [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/2012_E2_(SWAN)]C2012 E2 (SWAN)[/url] . The interesting thing is that the comet is still rendered by the engine at this enormous distance from sol but only from certain angles: When the solar system is in the field of view, the comet is visible:


    but it is not rendered when the solar system is out of the field of view:


    The year is 34048 AD blink

    That has actually been reported, just not in this thread specifically. http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/4-1593-1#25199

    I looked up the comet when I saw that thread earlier and it turns out that the comet disintegrated while going by the sun and it didn't look like the full orbit was actually known. So I thought it was because SE was working with only partial data, which gave a strange result.
