Ok, Im sure everyone knows about the invisibility problems. Well, today a lot of people in chat have encountered more of this problem. Its happening on the ground. Sometimes when people land at : Keren Starport - Mining Outpost on Dantooine- Science Outpost on Dathomir - Dearic Starport , and im sure theres more. People have become invisible including he ground, structures, objects, and people...so everything. The only thing they can see is the backround like sky and sometimes ocean which isnt really there lol. We also all know about the space invisibility. Well anyways, a couple min ago CSR-ArchieS to do some Customer Service. he went and notified the devs of this issue himself. Im glad a CSr has finally done something to help more thne say..send a ticket. Anyway, hopefully this will speed up the fix on this large issue.

Myself and many others in my guild have been getting these problems since pub24 exactly as you describe in space and on ground especially when shuttling in to our player city on corellia everything is gone and the landscape just looks like some weird rice paddy field or something. In space too seems intermittent but always clears it seems when you navigate close to a space station. Only way I have found to temp fix the problems is to exit the game completely and restart (ie not a quick disconnect). The gfx card type doesn't seem to be the issue either this is happening on ATI and Nvidia alike.
tbh getting p1ssed off with all these bugs the list only ever gets bigger not smaller....... the game is really starting to suck!! stop making new stuff and fix whats there you will gain more respect from the current community I think ifyou stop and think for a while andfix stuff even if we get zero new content for a few months.

Yes, I have done many JTL missions in the last few days, since the ground game is ruined form Pub24, and without fail, every mission resulted in stations and ships, my own included, going invisible - multiple times in the same mission, in fact. This occured to every member of all the groups I participated with - 100% of the outings. We spent most of our time in Wookieworld space.
MAJOR BUG
I'd rather fly and see reticles around invisible objects, though, than continue to see the game die into a black hole resulting from Pub24. As bad as this bug is, I'd rather they focused on reversing that pile of #### called Pub24 and reintroducing the "publicly published" items of Pub24, the things they announced, rather than the things they ninja'd and broke;game-killing nerfs and game-killingmob changesbe gone before we all lose any hope for this game and our spirits get sucked out to their final and last particle.

Unfortunately, 3 out of 3 times I tried this in the last two days, it results in an immediate crash to desktop, and of course, as you say, when I logged back in it was toggled back on. I learned through "learned behavior" that disabling it is a bad thing and stopped trying.

You will have to do this before you launch, and because the setting isnt' saved, you'll have to do it each time you log in.
This worked for me.

I think we should really try to get the devs attention. Maybe make a post on each forum about Fixing all the bugs and damage from Publish 24 and call this publish....publish 25: The Big Fix.I dont think the devs realise how much people more people would like to play the game if the bugs werent around. I constantly keep remembering oh darn I cant do this cause of that bug....I fail missions in space sometimes. Its also just plain irritating...anbd the huge ground invisible bug. What if someone is new to the game? how would that send an impression to new players? I honestly think the devs need to spend a whole publish fixing the problems. Im suprised their jobs arent on the line cause of all the problems. Whoever is in-charge of testing needs to actually test the stuff. Cause its obviously not being fixed. I remember I couldnt do a quest from RotW..the advanced X-wing (heavy) because the corvette kept blowing up right after jumping to lightspeed....guess what? I come back after 5 months from the game. I do this mission rofl...its still broken even though I sent in a ticket and bug report.

THANK YOU! I thought I was the only person experiencing this issue. It seems like (and maybe its coincidence) I have this issue more when I go combatant, and then to space. But since P24, I have had all of these issues continually happen. Before P24, I NEVER had space gx issues. I hope this is addressed soon.

Noticed this on 2 seperate computers on 2 seperate accounts doing 2 seperate things.
Launched intop space to complete a mission, and I get to 1500m from Space Station and everything but the stars and nebula and the blue and red boxes around targets disappear. If you turn around and fly back towards the space station when you get to 1500m everything comes back.
I figured will log out and wait a day or so and try again. That did not work either. I downloaded the latest drivers for both video cards and that was unsuccessful as well. This must be a server side issue as it has been repeated on multiple systems in different configurations.

Aye same here. Because faction's screwed and I can't advance my freelance pilot, I spend my time mining invisible asteroids and killing invisible pirates. Every day that passes I get more frustrated, mainly because we don't hear ANYTHING from Sony saying "hey, there's a problem here and were working on it."
Don't they realize silence is equated to "we don't care and are doing NOTHING about it???"
