Nebulas

Sometimes when my screen has a nebula, the nebula starts to turn into a bunch of lines and slow down the game until i have it off the screen.

Same here. Whenever I view a Nebula, everything will start to flash, and then sometimes everything would disappear and then reappear, and then after a while, the computer would freeze.

I don't have lines or things like that, but it does slow down pretty good when nebulas are on the screen and there is a big green square that floats around in the crystalist nebulas. It was the same in the 1.0 release too. I just thought I'd let everyone know . Still Great Mod.

uh, somehow your graphic card doesn't fit to your other components. i assume the problem is related to your graphic card. i had the same graphic card a few years ago and produced me some graphic errors sometimes. why don't you get a ti-4200, it's cheap, fit's to your other components and has good performance

Yes, it is your grafic card. The TNT2 isn't able to handle textures like we used for the nebulas quite well.. i will add low res textures in beta2, you should reduce the graficquality in the grafic option menu.

Okay, this only happens to me when I view Crystalid (?) Nebulas, but not for Fluid Nebulas.

ok i have changed something in the nebula settings.. in the next beta you shouldn't see this error any more.. still i don't understand why this happens..

hmm i think its defantly the TNT 2 cus i have 1 and in the crystalid nebula, has a green squere 2, but it dosnt really bother me that much, the other nebulars are fine, (i do run it in a low grapics setting)
