Hi! I just bought the game from Humble Store, downloaded, installed and started the game. But, when it builds a system, the light and stars dissapears and the planets turned blue when it was finished. Even the moons dissapeared completely, but was still in the system. I tried starting a game anyways, but then i was met with lag, invisible units, and the planets continued to be blue. I don't have super good specs, but they all met the requirements for playing. What can i do to make the game playable? EDIT: I pressed F12 by accident while in the solar system generator, and then suddenly the stars and light came back, but it dissapeared quickly again.
I have tried making a complete update of the driver, reinstalled and verified the game cache integrity, but still nothing has changed. I don't know if it is because it won't co-operate with my graphic card, or it is something else. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870, with DirectX 11.0 and Shader 5.0. I am really sad about it if i have to wait until the full release, but i am just gonna try it everytime a new build comes along.
Most likely you still use old drivers. Please try to remove existing version of Catalyst and then try to install "Latest Beta Driver" from AMD website: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows 7 - 64 If it's not help please follow instructions from my signature and upload your DxDiag.txt here.
I'm totally sure that issues you see caused by old drivers. Nothing will change in newer builds, except in future versions you can get crash on startup due to some missing/broken features in old drivers.
Well, the new build doesn't matter, because my game works now! So, since i am really new to this forum, should i delete this thread, or just let it be here? Anyways, thanks for the help! I, to be honest, have never updated my driver before
And that's your problem. It will greatly increase your performance and prevent crazy stuff like this and more happening again.
Leave it here. I have the same graphic card and the same problem. I thought I had updated the driver, but reading this I should look it up again. We probably aren't the only ones who have had this problem.
Actually AMD legacy driver installer have serious bug. For some people it's not update drivers at all. You have to remove existing version of Catalyst though Windows Control Panel and only then run installation of latest drivers. After you do that drivers will be updated just fine!
People should always check the manufacturer of the GPU to get the latest drivers instead of the manufacturer of the laptop. The drivers found on the website of the laptop are often hopelessly outdated.
