there is a window bug affecting some POBs right now here are a few trouble shooting questions...

Did you bug this?

What chassis where you flying?

Did you try to zoom out to 3rd person, did that change anything?

Is the background drawing?

Did you do anything at all diffrently today in or out of game? (run windows update maybe?)

IF you can answer these questions please find the live bug thread and report this information to the Devs, also check out the tech support board in case the problem is on your end

Yeah, I think I did see you up there mate, well, didn't see you, but targeted the little blue box and saw your name

Did you bug this? No, wanted to check if it was just my problem first

What chassis where you flying? My Krayt Tank

Did you try to zoom out to 3rd person, did that change anything? I zoomed out, no change to the ships, etc, I couldn't see, in fact, couldn't even see my *own* ship

Is the background drawing? Yes

Did you do anything at all diffrently today in or out of game? (run windows update maybe?) Other than update galaxies and try and log in about 10 times (I originally had a problem where it would crash about 5 seconds after clicking play) The computer I am using doesn't even really have much installed other than galaxies, so I can pretty safely safe nothing else has changed... And as for ingame, heading to kash, getting the Y-8 escort mission and hitting space were the first things I did... And yes, I did have trouble seeing objects on my way to kash as well...

Funny thing was, sometime (rarely) they would draw just as I got really close to them, then wink out again, or liike towards the end of my Y-8 escort mission, suddenly all the attackers and my escort target, etc, showed up. It's weird

IF you can answer these questions please find the live bug thread and report this information to the Devs, also check out the tech support board in case the problem is on your end Seems someone already has done this. I reported my crashing bug earlier today, if this problem persists, I will report it too. Thanks for your help

I was trying to do the part where I have to mine Organometallic Asteroids but nothing is being drawn in space. Blue outline box is all I get.

Anyone else running into this? And is it affecting all objects, or just specific ones? Is it just happening in one sector, or does it happen in all of them?

All objects. usually about a minute after i launch. things spawn in and blink out.

You can still target things by the blue box, and using radar. you just cannot see them. You can fire your guns and see no effect, other than, the occasional flash effect.

I just had an odd problem and I'm not sure if was graphical in nature (I did just update to today's release of graphics drivers for my nVidia 6800 GT) or something else...

I was cruising around deepspace in my dunelizard--I really, really missed flying one of those. In spite of the fact that my flying style and overloads (I didn't really start pvping until I got my bel-22) and equipment has changed somewhat, it felt like coming home. I jumped from ship to ship after RoTW, but none of them felt right. Or felt real, maybe. The dune does...

Anyway, I was cruising around for an hour when, overthe course of five minutes or so, three or four different imperials loaded in and I thought, "Great. Targets..."

I cruised away from the ISD to let them get clear of it, found a krayt and sent it to Dathomir, andI thensaw a giant blob of yellow ships on the radar that is the equivalent of raising a flag saying, "Imperials over here!" There was an oppressor and a decimator cruising around a corvette.It took me a couple seconds to decide which ship was the priority target--I chose the decimator, figuring that if they had good gunners, I'd be toasted quickly.A proton III and a couple shots took down its shields and most of its back armor, and I came around for another pass to finish it off...

...it exploded, and I crashed to desktop. I have never suffered a CTD in space before. Not sure if it is repeatable or not.

I went around mining asteroids today, and ran into 'no 3d draw' areas in every sector. Same description as above, all 3d models weren't showing, but the background, engine lights and targeting boxes were all there.

I have run into this today as well...I also flying my krayt, but....

talked a buddy of mine and heres the thing...HE did not run into this till AFTER he passed though wookiee space and same thing with me...
