| So, I updated from v0.9.7.1b - which worked fine - to v0.9.7.2b, and suddenly the Earth looks like this:
I have no idea why all the lighting on Earth has suddenly turned blood red, but it looks really disturbing somehow. Any idea what I might have done accidentally to make it look this way, and how can I set Earth back to looking normal? I've tried fiddling with a few of the settings, but I'm not sure it was a mistaken setting-change that caused it in the first place...

| I ran into this issue too, but I caused it myself when I was optimizing the .cfg files and I forgot what line or lines I altered at this point but I believe it is either because you're Vram is set to low (SE loses stability with anything below 1024mb of vram) or it was because I was experimenting with the TR float point on imposters when trying to improve the performance with vapor trails. I'll look further into this and see if I can't find the fix for this again.

| Try deleting the cache folder, that might help.
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

| The red clouds issue is caused by unsupporting or wrong working of the GL_ARB_texture_swizzle extension. This extension allows to swap or duplicate channels in the texture. For example, grayscale texture of Earth's clouds is loaded as R texture (only red channel), but using this functionality gets interpreted as RGBA texture (R channel is duplicated in G, B, A channels)
Check if GL_ARB_texture_swizzle is present in se.log (a list after "Extensions:"). If it is not present, try to update you graphics driver. I encountered the driver bug on Intel HD 2000 card, the extension was present, but Earth clouds still looks red, like if extension does not work.
BTW I can't return the old method of using grayscale textures (luminance texture type), because it is obsolete and was removed from OpenGL 3.3 core.

| Are you using fast landscape loading? Because I just remembered that is what was causing me to have a red Earth and a REALLY red Mars.
