    I have the same issue. It was fine, until the latest Nvidia Driver (340.52). With that, I have these spots on all the planets. I hope it gets fixed before release. :eek:

    Hello,

    There are two problems:

    The texture problem may be caused by low VRAM:

    Code:
    Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    Display Memory: 2286 MB
    Dedicated Memory: 495 MB <--
    Shared Memory: 1791 MB
    Driver Version: 9.18.13.4052
    Driver Date/Size: 7/2/2014 13:48:32, 17555104 bytes
    The game may be hitting the VRAM limit and as a result, some of the textures do not show up properly.


    The second problem is system memory:

    Code:
    Memory: 4096MB RAM
    Available OS Memory: 4094MB RAM
    Like I said in my other post:


    I don't have this issue whatsoever. I have an Nvidia card with 2GB of VRAM and all of my planets render fine.

    Perhaps the issue is related to low VRAM?

    Perhaps try rolling back a driver version (gasp can't believe I'm saying that in relation to PA!)

    Wow, stop cursing you... :p anyway, I stick to this version instead. It's not a big problem, I can still play the game. I'm sure Uber will solve this overtime. ><
