Invisible Planets Graphics Glitch

from Sins Forums

I loaded my saved game to discover all of my planets were transparent and wormholes were missing. I've never had this glitch before, so I'm not sure if it's an old one or not (I think I remember hearing about it before). My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 512MB and I have the latest drivers.

Has anybody else experienced this?

That's an odd one, looks like a shader glitch of some sort?

I'm on a truly awful ATI Radeon Xpress 200M - X300 without dedicated memory - and I haven't had that yet, so its not related to old shader models, could be geforce7-specific?

I would email that saved file to IC.

I started the game from the same save again and the problem went away, so I don't think the save would do much to help.

Yeah you're right. I read the other thread with this same issue and he had said that upon reloading it went away.

I had that back when i was using Radeon 9250, but that card was DirectX 8.1 with only a SM 1.1 support (IIRC), so it shouldn't be the same problem with that card. I've since used Radeon 9600, Radeon x1550, and currently Geforce 9600GT and none of them have had that problem.

I once encountered a transparent planet problem just like that once.
