Dark Planets

Whenever i start a new game, (Me Vs. AI) i see the planet as it normally, then the screen flashes and the whole planet surface turns blacks and dark and i can't see the terrain. I know this is just a bug and i wish the developers the best of luck to fix it. I enjoy the game, bugs and all but it will obviously be better when it is all ready to go. Thanks.

Disable SAO in graphics options.

By SAO do you mean Shadows and Ambient Occlusion? And if so, they are both set to off and I still have the same problem.

Can you please check my signature and upload your DxDiag.txt?

This sounds like out of date graphics drivers to me rather than the SAO bug.

Here You go.

Im not good with AMD so i'm just gonna wait for someone else to come along with a link, but your drivers are 4 YEARS old, they need to be updated

can you figure out which driver this person needs?

Yep you have old drivers:

Code:

Card name: AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 
Driver Date/Size: 9/29/2010 23:12:42, 37376 bytes

You need download and install latest drivers from AMD website.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows 7 - 64
Unfortunately AMD broken their crappy website once again so link is not working.

So just get "Latest Beta Driver" from this page:

Thank You all for all your help, it is fixed now. Thanks a-lot.
