    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this. I should be looking at two planets right now.

    (I have updated my graphics drivers to the latest)

    My processor is fine (Intel i7 4770) and my graphics should be fine but I keep getting display driver errors (NVIDIA GTX 660)

    Your system looks totally fine. Please answer few more questions:
    1. Is it happen only once or all the time?
    2. If it happen only once is there any chance you got this solar system saved?
    3. If it's happen more than once can you clarify all planet types affected? Anything especial here?
    4. Do you set any custom options for drivers in Nvidia Control Panel?

    It seems to happen all the time randomly. It seems that every planet is affected. I've managed to get this bug when panning around planets, looking at my troops etc. Like I said I'm pretty sure its purely random. On all graphics settings as well

    I do have custom set options for drivers in NVIDIA Control panel, but most of them are the recommended settings. Another thing to note, I have been having separate issues with nvlddmkm which I believe is fixed now but I'm unsure whether there is a correlation. One error that came up however I have had this error pop up
    "Opengl Driver Losing Connecting Due To The Time-Out Limit"

    Can you please say what exactly options you talking about?

    Is this error pop up every time problems with PA occur? I just guess this might be some hardware problem.

    You might as well try to apply this fix:

    Done the following steps. I edited the registry before, and that basically seems to stop the graphics driver from restarting and recovering. Also above this is what I found in the event viewer. Also the flickering seems to have stopped, it just stops working now.

    It's pretty weird. I think you should try to remove Nvidia drivers though Windows Control Panel and try to reinstall them from website.

    The game looks to be working fine, slight instability when changing graphics settings, but I'm assuming that's because its in beta. Other than that everything seems to be working, the cause I believe is that I installed corrupt driver software, which was corrupted during download. Appreciate the help and its getting late, so I'll respond later on this week if any more error. Thanks again!

    When you change some graphics options while in-game game need to generate quite a lot data from scratch, as result there might be some glitches. So better don't change graphics options in middle of battle.

    Placing my vote, for the same exact thing happens to me now constantly as well as my video card crashing.

    Annoyingly it has returned. Nothing has since changed ;_;

    Also seem to be affected by the number of units there are on the planets. I was playing a game on the lowest graphics settings, and everything was working fine until the anomalies just appeared. If I reconnect, its fine until it loads the units
