    For some reason, whenever I play a game, the planet is completely black. the only things that are visible on the planet are random rocks, water, and all the metal sites. Sometimes I would get confused why I can't build somewhere. Then, after messing around with the camera, I see I'm trying to build on top of a mountain. Is this a visual bug?

    Most likely your graphics drivers are old. Update them and game will work.

    If you not sure how to do that please check my signature and upload your DxDiag.txt on forum. Thanks!

    I'm not sure if it is that, because I am able to see the planets in system editor mode. This is a new computer as well, but I am guessing there more to when you watch a replay or play a game.

    Also, a little update, I can see trees as well. I think I was just on planets that didn't have any. So all it is is that the planet itself is just black.

    Sorry if this counts as spam, but, now that I understood what your signature said, here is my DxDiag file

    Hello,

    I found out that your Intel drivers are from 2013.

    It is best that you go ahead and update them.

    System editor and in-game work little bit different so it's doesn't mean anything.

    To update Intel drivers download and install "Win64_153322.exe" from Intel website:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3712&DwnldID=23885

    If you get "not validated for this computer" error download ZIP version of driver ("Win64_153322.zip") from same page and then install it using this instruction:
