I currently cant travel past the 3 core planets, or the world disappears.

Basically, "Specular Terrain Lighting" makes rocks look more realistic. The processing time and memory usage of Specular Terrain Lighting, however, really really stresses the video card and video card memory, and apparently (I'm guessing here)there's a problem with the Specular Terrain Lighting and a video memory leak somewhere...
So what happens is, the video card refuses to update properly, and the memory usage means that only a limited amount of memory space is available to display normal objects.

The reason I was able to diagnose this was because I noticed, while in space, little red pixels dancing over the surface of some asteroids. That told me the problem was my video card overheating, and *that*, combined with my experience in ToOW beta with the same issue, told me that I had to disable Specular Terrain Lighting.
Once I did that, everything seems to be fine once again.
hey i got that red pixel thing too in ToOW beta. just once though.
No fun fighting nonstop waves of invisible black sun
