Hey, recently started playing for the first time and noticed all my planets were just represented by plain circles rather than rendered planets. Everything works fine but just wondering if anyone knows if I've just got a setting wrong or there's an easy fix? (can't really be bothered reinstalling for this minor issue). Here's a pic of what it looks like:

Cheers!

Is this still happening?

Thanks!

I just had this happen when I reached about turn 130 after I had done a save, OS shutdown (for the night), reboot (next morning), and reload of the saved game, with about twenty planets in the list. Planets I colonized after the restart showed correctly.

I know what this is it happened to me on an older computer with shattered suns with a older computer. When I went from a geforce 4 400 mhrts to a geforce 6800 it fixed the problem with shattered suns. You need a better graphics card. I also didn't. Worry since all this did is mess up the appearance, and nonthing else.

I'm sure you're right about the graphics card, but it does affect game play because i can't see what ships are in my fleets without clicking on each "empty" space.  I also can't see which ships are which when making fleets or on combat displays.

No one has listed his/her graphics card and driver version, so I don't see where anyone can come to the conclusion that the card or driver is at fault. What I am saying here is that no attempts have been made to do any correlation between failure and the hardware for the PCs that experience the failure.

Mine is: Geforce GT 640 with driver version 352.86 (as per "GeForce Experience").

Oooppps. Double post. Wrong button. Sorry.

AAArrrggg. You would think I would learn which button was which by now. Sorry.
