Pilot Archive

yup, i was doing some faction grind in kessel and all of a sudden i was invisible, the bolts from my blasters was invisible and the other ships and any 3-D objects were invisible. was a bit tough only had the outline bosx to see them with. i tied hypering out then coming back in and it happened again...very frustrating 8/

Happened to me nonstop in DS. Come on people, let's help out the devs and give as much info as we can on this for a quick (hopefully) fix.

Launched from Theed.
Ran EO3 ---> Hypered to Red Sea Chimera ---> Killed 3 Black Sun Tier 4 NPC's ---> Ran WO3 ---> Flew to nearest Imperial Space Station to go Overt
Ran WCO3 ---> Declared ---> Hypered to Durillium (sp? Last waypoint in Endor system, nearest to the Claw Station) ---> Entered Deep Space

3 minutes go by then everything disappears. All graphics are gone. Basic HUD is still there. Hitboxs/Targetting brackets are only things I can see. I'm still able to fire and kill ships tho. Still able to target components.

Zooming in, zooming out didn't fix the problem. Still can't see ship or anything else except the basic HUD and starfield. Occasionally, graphics would "Flicker" back on for a few minutes, then turn off. Seemed random as I was engaging various Rebel NPC Ships ranging from Fighters to Corvettes. Even Player Controlled Ships were invisible, Targetting Brackets only thing visible (And I still vaped 3 yesterday, hehe).

I'm running an AMD Athalon 3500
NVidia GeForce 6800 GT Graphics Card
1 Gig Corsair RAM
Windows XP

My latency was stuck at 110 the whole time, so don't think it's lag related. Might be a graphics card compatibility issue? Anyone else running an NVidia card and getting these problems?

Yep, happening to me too: in space my ship and my blasters are invisible as are other ships. Getting his by a blaster will make us visible for a few moments. A trip down to Kashyyyk and launching back into orbit didn't solve the problem either.

I've been in space a lot the past few days and the problem just started happening this morning. Maybe we need a hot fix for the hot fix?

It's kind of hard to blast the bad guys when you can only see their engine glow...

Happened twice to me, one during a tier 4 quest and another during a Y-8 quest. Restarting the game fixed it.

I found it amusing that I knew exactly what ship I was flying against just by looking at the engine glow, since that was all I could see along with targeting brackets God I love space

Same here and it seems to get worse day by day. Was just in Kashyyyk for me but now I am getting it in Dantooine sector, Tat sector and pretty much everywhere.

Sent in a fairly detailed /bug on it, but as it stands currently all space content is 100% un-playable for me

Player ship model (1st and 3rd person view) NPC ships, stations and pretty much any and all objects just phase in and out of visability. Moving about makes it come back briefly (sometimes), jumping always seems to fix it for me, but again only briefly. Move and it all disappears again.

Basically HUD graphics all render, but ship and object models either do not, or worse, seem to flicker in and out of existance.

I got to say this is worse that a pre-alpha and with regards to the QA that let this through internal testing, heck, I feel embarressed for them

I have the same bug. It is horrible. I also have the bug on ground. My avatar is invisible except from the face. Almost everything else around my avatar is invible too. I can see the skyabove and below me. Sometimes people pop-up and disappear. This is too surreal too be funny.

/bump for same issue.

Make sure you guys /bug it in game.

I have this problem in every space sector, in every ship i own. i wanted to finish pilot this weekend, but i actually want to SEE for the end of it.

System Specs
AMD A64 3500+
ATI x850XT
2GB Ram
Windows XP-64bit

Also does the same on my laptop
2.0GHz P4-m
ATI 7500
1GB Ram
Windows XP-Pro

I have tried reinstall my video drivers, that didn't help any. I have a constant 50-60ms ping, so I would imagine it isn't internet lag. Its happening on both ATI and Nvidia GPU's, so I am guessing problem is coming from the SOE servers, not our own machines. I have bugged it in game on both of my accounts. Hopefully we can get this fixed soon.

Me too Thankfully I'm not the only, I hope they fix this soon.

Confirmed. I landed at Mos Entha to go help a buddy kill some Krayts, and *poof* everything vanished exept for my face and my shadow. The ticket droid occasionally flickered in and out of view, but I was stranded - couldn't find my way out. I think a couple other people were stuck too because I noticed the same guy flicker passed me quite a few times while I was stumbling around. I couldn't ticket it either because the lame window just said 'retrieving list' and that was it. Logged out for 10 minutes and everything was fine. Still, this is getting worse. I dunno what they've done, but this is the most unprofessional code I've seen in my 18 months in SWG. Someone has really screwed the pooch in the graphics/texturing department.
