| Oh okay. So that just means my computer is much more terrible than I thought and there is no hope of running this well after all, thanks.

| Maybe it is a bug in drivers or system overheating? Try to install newest drivers.

| My computer is an Asus N53S that came with 2 graphics cards, like this one:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N53SV-Notebook.43709.0.html
Windows automatically decides which card is in use at any given time unless I specify otherwise. All 3D games I've played so far have successfully detected the GeForce except Space Engine.
Check my Space Flight Simulator for Android!

| ah, you have a notebook. It is clear now. Can you force your GeForce card to work in SE in some way? Maybe via the nVidia control panel.
I will ask about this issue on Gamedev and try to fix it in the next release.

| I had discussion at Gamedev, and everyone who has the same system -with 2 graphics cards- say they have no problem. Graphics applications run evertime on desired GPU (nVidia or ATI). If you have this trouble with SpaceEngine, then it is probably due to trouble with the drivers. OpenGL has no mechanism to select GPU, driver must do it itself. Try to download new drivers, maybe that will fix this trouble.

| My specs are below.
i5 2500k
8gb G.Skill 1600mhz ram
9400gt
I've got the latest Nvidia drivers installed and the game runs at about 30fps while just flying through space, most the time. Unlike people who have way better GPUs (I'm upgrading soon) I can fly through globular clusters with only a 10-15fps drop, while the game crashes on high end GPUs from what I've heard. However when I try to fly down to a planets surface, along with extremely slow FPS while the planet is loading when I get to a few hundred metres above the surface my monitor stops receiving input and I get the following message.
This happens regardless of what LOD I set the planet to, I've also set my video memory correctly in the cfg and I'm running on 0.94.

| This is strange. I have GeForce 9800 GTX and it is an OpenGL 3.3 video card. If you have latest drivers and your OpenGL version is still 2.1, it means that your GeForce 9800M seems to be a previous generation videocard. Renamed it to 9 series. NVidia, ATI, Intel, Creative, all corporations likes to cheat us 
Try to disable critical extensions check. Open main.cfg and edit this:
IgnoreCriticalCheck true
But I'm not sure if SpaceEngine will do this for you.

| Sorry, but this is a driver problem, not the engine. Maybe old drivers have no such crashes. Maybe you even have broken hardware - or some defect in video chip perhaps...

| It's definitely not, considering I can run any other game without this error, yours is the only game that gives me this :/.

| Try to disable mipmap or/and crater generation in config: BugMipmaps, BugCraters. Maybe it is a broken mipmap generation, like on all ATI cards, or undocumented shader size limit, that broke the crater generation.

BugMipmaps fixed the problem. What am I missing out on without them?
