Missing solar power plant graphics.

Post by Gers » Sun, 10. Jul 11, 09:06

I didn't play x3 terran conflict for some time and now re-downloaded it through steam to get achievement for summer sale, so the installation is fresh.

I started "Terran Defender" career and found out that closest solar power plant mesh is missing:

Apart from "sunny place" dlc i don't have anything installed and as i already mentioned - this is fresh installation. Any idea on why this is happening?

Usually happens if your computer's strained to render the game, first things to get rendered incomplete tend to be stations, after that planets. The Terran defender start is quite heavy in graphic loading as well (counts for most Terran sectors)

I advise you to either update your graphic drivers (do a manual search if needed, auto-updated doesn't always work) or turn down your graphic settings.

It also happens now and again for some reason even on the best of rigs, especially in foggy or particulate backgrounds. I find that after a few changes of sector by the Player, the issue usually goes away. It does no harm apart from looking odd IS for a while as the station still works as normal.

Well i have 570 GTX and 4gb RAM. Game used to run just fine even when i had 9800GTX and on highest settings. It never was an issue really but i did figure that something might be wrong with graphics and tried switching off "glare" and other stuff - didn't help :/

This is what i thought - perhaps "updating" or changing sector a bit would work... in any case, ill re-download whole thing one more time first. Thx.
