| There a bug with Ice/Gas Giant procedural generation where if you make a giant too small, the "surface" won't render and you can go through them. The clouds won't render because the surface is not generated Not even changing the BumpHeight will fix them. The atmospheric model still renders.
NOTE: I made this planet and you can't find it anywhere in the universe. You have to inject the script into the catalog.
Code Planet "No Surface"
{
ParentBody "Sol"
Class "IceGiant"
Radius 16902.97
Oblateness 0.0021
Obliquity 21
RotationPeriod 6.572585
Surface
{
BumpHeight 20
Style 0.87
}
Atmosphere
{
Model "Neptune"
}
Rings
{
Texture "Saturn-rings.*"
InnerRadius 27014.2142
OuterRadius 57417.4484
RotationPeriod 5.835523
RotationOffset 0
FrontBright 1
BackBright 5
Density 1
Exposure 1.5
}
Orbit

SemiMajorAxis 5
Inclination 355.29
Eccentricity 0.00512
}

| quarior14, you obviously didn't read the text below big red line:
Known issues:
All localizations except Russian are out of date (of course)
Quote Fireinthehole (  ) yet SpaceEngine says it has 72 billion.
Don't look on that number, it is very approximate. Computing all stars in a galaxy or a cluster is possible only in engine generate them all. SE do that for clusters while you flying through it, but for galaxies that may take years.
Ok, I increased that number 4 times.
Quote TheGreatAttractor ( ) and while I was zooming out, I happened to notice that the pulsar is nearly 1500 parsecs from the nebula. is there a reason for this, or was it just a mistake?
That may be error in catalog.
EDIT: yeah I forgot to include updated nebula catalog.

| Bug report:
As you can see, stars look like squares when blueshifted. This also happens to small stars in F2 mode, albeit it is less extreme.
White dwarf accretion disks are broken, but I am sure you already know that(it is mentioned in the changelog). Also, white dwarf and neutron star surfaces seem broken to me - they're just completely white.
Fireinthehole, supermassive and intermediate black holes will usually have an accretion disk, so just look in the centers of galaxies and globular clusters. White dwarfs have accretion disks at a fairly high rate, so you can just use "Nearby stars" and check every white dwarf individually, but they're bugged right now(as I said). As for neutron stars, I'm not sure, I guess they just come down to luck

It's due to the limited resolution of the environment map. You'll notice it's not all stars, there are some which render normally.

Yes, I noticed. Can it be fixed, though?
EDIT: Also, something goes wrong with the ships occasionally. I was just trying to put a ship into orbit, all is normal, when all of a sudden the ship gets teleported straight out of the universe.

It's not a bug. They are rendered in a cubemap surrounded BH, which is obviously lower resolution. You can increase it in main config (TREnvResolution), but it will cost memory and performance.
This also produces many other "bugs", which are not real bugs, but a limitations caused by used technology. Like discontinuties in star motion blur, not matching rendering of orbital lines and close objects like secondary stars, etc.
Quote DeathStar ( ) Yes, I noticed. Can it be fixed, though?
Only by increasing envmap resolution, but you have been warned about the consequences.

| Where is the test system with all type of stars? Also , awesome update.
And i found a bug , I can't see the milky way galaxy but I can see others. Wait , i can only see procedural galaxies , wow.
No nebulas , no clusters , no procedural planets or stars??
Im going to try to reinstall the game , if it works ,is my problem.
The problem is i go to view objects and the marks of nebula, clusters , procedural planets and galaxies in catalog are black.Added (30.12.2015, 23:22)

Ok It was my problem, the patch is going alright right now.

| Black holes' accretion disks don't look like the previous photos, with the interstellar-like appearance. Why the change?

There was no change. That was a custom system with the accretion disk's size modified to mimic the movie's look.

| Is it possible to find a planet orbiting a star orbiting a black hole? I have been searching for more than 1 hour now and did not find any yet

Could a planet like that exist? To me it sounds very likely that the planets orbit would be extremely unstable due to the massive gravitation of the black hole.
Love SpaceEngine!

That was I was thinking too but maybe so fantasy could make it possible  Still, I think this case cannot be generated, so I am going to stop searching because I am starting to break my brain with this

| Asteroids orbiting stars do not seem to be generated. Am I the only one with this issue?

I've found black holes with at least two planets using the filter (Shift+F3).
