| 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.

| ^Yes, that's in my SolarSys.sc. But strngely, the bug still sometimes happens. Not always, as sometimes I do get the proper continents even with water turned on, but sometimes.
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

| Any ideas on the planet surface crash problem...?
It got a little better when I changed the value of VideoMemoryMaxPercent to 30 or 40, but only for one or two minutes. Then the crashes to desktop returned. It's very sad for me not to be able to approach any desert or terra... =(

| Quote (apenpaap) ^Yes, that's in my SolarSys.sc.
so this is your trouble New version have this feature:
Quote - Automatic procedural generation of atmosphere, clouds, water and rings for catalog planets, if these paremeters are missing in the catalog
So if you don't specify the Ocean{} tag, SE may generate it automatically (always for terra and titan, but if you don't specify the class, it will be generated too). This is done to more easy adding of exoplanets (we actually don't know anything about them, except mass and sometimes radius). To prevent such procedural generation for Solar system planets, new parameters has been added:
NoClouds true
NoOcean true
NoAtmosphere true
NoRings true
You must write "NoOcean true" and "NoRings true" to Earth script, "NoClouds true" for Mars, "NoAtmosphere true" for Mercury, etc.

| That is already in my solarsys.sc; that's what I meant. I'm using the solarsys.sc that came with version 0.96 (with some changes to Neptune's atmosphere to make it look better and changing Phoebe to a dwarf moon), and it has the NoOcean true tag, yet sometimes it still gives me a flooded Earth.

| Drawnin, Can you post the specs of your system?
I found that in my case, the crash was caused by the exaustion of VRAM. When I changed the config to extend it to the normal RAM I never had another crash on the surface of procedural planets

| My specs are as follows:
Intel Core2Duo E8500 @ 3.16 GHz @ 3.50 Gb RAM @ nVidia GeForce GTX 570 1280 Mb
Maybe your solution will be good for me. How can I extend the config to use normal RAM? Thanks. =)

| Quote (Drawnin) How can I extend the config to use normal RAM
Open de config folder and find the main.cfg
change this lines:
Code
// memory settings
VideoMemorySize 3072 // video card onboard memory (VRAM) in megabytes
VideoMemoryMaxPercent 75 // max VRAM consumption (percents)
VideoMemoryStartupDetect false // use auto detection of VRAM size on startup, otherwise use VideoMemorySize value
VideoMemoryDynamicDetect false // use auto detection of available amount of VRAM in runtime
I adjusted the video memory to your specs, but make sure that you leave some RAM for windows to operate normally 
Your card has 1280 MB and it should now "borrow" almost 2 GB from RAM. That leaves you with abou 1,5 GB to run windows. Adjust it if your windows needs more memory to run

| I'll give it a try and tell you if I were lucky. Thanks! =)
EDIT: By the way, I'm using XP. I don't think it will need so much memory, 1,5 Gb should be OK. I hope the problems are not related to the fact that I'm not using Windows 7... =S
EDIT 2: Definitely, much better. It crashed only once, because I visited almost 20 planets in a run at a great speed and my PC cried for mercy... xD But it looks to be much more stable. Thank you, Talyn! =D

Can you post here your changes?
Quote (Drawnin) 3.50 Gb RAM
Do you use 32 bit Windows? Why not 64 bit? I suppose you have 4 Gb RAM, but 32 bit Windows can use only 3.5 of them.
Quote (Drawnin) By the way, I'm using XP.
Hmmm... This version doesn't tested on XP. I should install it...

Wouldn't it be even less that that? Isn't it 4GB - total VRAM = usable system RAM, which in this case would be 2.8GB?

Yes, that's correct. I'm waiting for a good chance to get Windows XP 64bit, or even better, Windows 7. I'm sure that then my system will be capable of much more, but for now... that's what i have got to carry on. =P
Quote Hmmm... This version doesn't tested on XP. I should install it...
For what I can tell, it works fine. No strange issues other from crashes when approaching planet surfaces, and even that is solved now that I've extended the config to use more RAM as Talyn suggested. =)
