    When I join up as a spectator, it loads into the game that is being played but shows nothing but the player list (top left) and empty planets. Am I broken?

    press f5 and try removing all mods or installing blackscreen mod.

    Nope. I'll reinstall I guess, see if that fixes the issue.

    I've gotten something similar, except I can see the rendered planet as well, just no units or structures at all.

    which one ? try another one of my solutions.
    now that one I've heard of, that's a known bug that happens even when you were a player in the game upon rejoining.

    First, you won't see anything until players land. I don't know how quickly you're giving up.
    Second, I've seen something like this where you couldn't see any commanders, so again you'd have to wait longer to see stuff. They eventually show up.
    Third, there is no third.

    Well i've had an issue where absolutely nothing shows up while spectating, the game is halfway through and you don't see any units or structures, the world is just empty.

    I've had this as well. I still need to try the no-mods test next time it happens.

    Third, there is a third.

    If you are joining a game that is already in progress, spectate doesn't work properly.

    It's in the link one post above your post.
