Gewological sites unplayable due to graphics glitches

Hi all,

Every single time I land on a planet with geological sites I get graphics glitches making the game unplayable. For a quick look at what I mean I recorded my play for a few minutes. Has anyone had this problem before and if so, how did you solve it?

Looks like a problem with the ground generation, which is done by the graphic card. Did you update the drivers lately? If you switched off the 'warming phase' you should switch it on again, this is the phase during game start where the graphic chips are tested for ground generation.

So - check if your NVIDIA drivers are updated and then see if the "preparing planet generation system" loading screen runs. If it does not run you may have switched it off, switch it on again.

That very much looks like outdated GPU drivers. Can you post sys specs and driver details?

I don't think old drivers are the whole problem here as I am on much older than those (approx v387) without issues like that.
I was going to say graphics memory but 4gb should be enough.
I would try everything on the lowest settings to see what difference that would make.

I was having similar issues a while back.
Seems to have fixed itself at the moment, though.

My first thought was it was either a driver issue or a faulty GFX card.
Upon reflection, I don't think it is.

Thing is, if you look at the SRV's scanner, it's displaying the bugged terrain - the game is "aware" of the bugged terrain.
If it was simply a graphical bug, I'd assume the SRV scanner wouldn't recognise it and display it.

It's possible it is a hardware problem of some kind (possibly some kind of memory error or processing error) but, whatever it is, it's causing the game to KNOWINGLY generate wacky terrain.

Hi OP,

I used to get this a couple of versions ago (the floating rocks in particular). In my case it was old drivers. So worth a go giving the old drivers an update, worst case in you are no better off!
