| Please post here all of your reports about bugs or crashes in SpaceEngine. Attach to your message a screenshot (if possible) and a log file (it's called the "se.log" and is located in the SpaceEngine's directory). Only the log file will help me to understand your problem and find a solution.

| Hi there,
For some reason, stars do not render properly when the camera is brought close enough. 
Since i have only seen a few complaining about this same issue, i take it this glitch only occurs on some computers.
Asides, i must congratulate you for this new release, Version 0.96 is simply astounding. Keep up the great work.

| Quote (Freak2121) Spaceships aren't rendering for me and the movement of any object in fast forward is jittery/choppy. Log: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32146097/se.log Edit: I noticed that if I record with F9 the movements aren't jittery or anything. :/
Then try to use Frame Time mode - Shift-\

Ah! Thank you, that fixed it, I can put up with occasional framerate dips for a smoother experience overall.
My spaceships still don't render though. They get placed but they're invisible.

| Freak2121, see the above comment its not a bug its just incompleteness as SE would put it you must be close to a planetary system if you move far away from it ships stop rendering

I got this too, but also from a normal distance (like when I'm at a terra).

Although I am not a programmer or expert in this field but is this related somehow to the fact that when an object is very far away from a light source (i.e. a star) and doesn't emit light itself, it can not be rendered? But I am probably wrong. Someone would expect that the ships should render with a black/dark color in interstellar space but somehow it doesn't happen

Yep , that's what i thought, propably has something to do with Lightning source , only Vova can let us know for sure though

| Maybe it's to prevent the game from rendering planets while flying around in interstellar space, which might take a lot of video memory...
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

| First of all, congratulations on this new release. It is quite amazing. =)
However, I can't seem to run the program properly when I approach to the surface of a planet. Every time I get close to an object, I get an error and crash to desktop. I think my PC perfectly fits the requeriments, and I've tried everything that's suggested in the troubleshooting, but... it keeps happening. I don't know what else to try. =(
As I can see, I'm not the only one reporting this issue. Could it be some trouble related to the program as it was released just a couple of days ago? I'm including my se.log report.

| 1. Planet editor: Sometimes I get spikes on terrain after editing a bit, and those don't dissapear with updating the planet. I have to restart SE.
-Question: After we edit a planet with some certain paremeters, is it possible to somehow make spaceengine generate some of such planets types with the parameters configured? (so if you edited a desert planet in some specific way, is it possible that SE renders some other desert planets with the edited paremeters)
2. Texture export: SpaceEngine crashes after trying to export a high resolution texture, (eg 15000x7500).
-Question: Is it possible to make spaceengine export the textures with water?
That's all from me so far!

I have seen the above comments and that's why I'm mentioning it here. They just won't render no matter how close I am to a light source, I could be 3 meters off of a planet and they still won't render.
Edit: Oops. I just realized I had the game paused when I tried to spawn ships and that's why they wouldn't render.

| Sometimes, when I drag with the left mouse button, It forces me to land right on the selected star/planet/moon. It's extremely annoying, and it's happening more and more randomly, until now I'm not even pressing anything! I'm quite flattered that it wants me on its surface so badly, but I need to land on my own terms. 
Careful. The PLATT Collective has spurs.

I don't know if this has something to do with SE, but try to use 2-based-powers as texture dimensions (like 16384x8192 or 4096x2048), because In many other games when I create or import texturesthey need to use these kind of dimensions
--
Another thing..
I know I'm posting lots of messages today, but I have spent whole day in SE .96 and I want to share my suggestions and problems.
Well the bug I have is the following: When I'm on my ship and I pass in front of a rings, I see the rings through the ship, also when I go underwater with the ship, the blue (or sometimes green...) layer doesn't affect the ship and I see it like if it was over the water.
I don't know if it's a problem with the engine because the ships are too experimental or the problem is with my Radeon 5570, so I post it anyway because, surprisingly, I haven't seen anyone complaining about this (unlike another problem I had -spaceships not rendering far away from stars- that has yet been posted and answered).

AMD Radeon HD 5570 1GB

No. Any mesh (planetary body or ship) is placed in a special render-list, related to the planetary system. If there is no planetary system to render, there is no render-list, so there is nowhere to place the ship, thus the ship won't render in interstellar space. I'll going to do a new system in the next version (or in next patch).

No, this is impossible. Planet editor is a debug feature created to debug landscape generator shaders, however it may be useful to create a script for custom planet.
Quote (Kviki) 2. Texture export: SpaceEngine crashes after trying to export a high resolution texture, (eg 15000x7500).
SE can't render textures where dimensions exceed maximum supported by hardware (you can see it in the se.log: Maximum texture size: 8192). For my PC, even setting a 8192*4096 leads to the driver's crashing!.

Yes, this is because ships are very experimental
