Question No Textures on Planets at Close Range

[Aaroon]

FIXED: Turn off "Ocean" in Graphics Settings.

Says it right in the release notes I just missed it.

Windows 10

Planets are not rendering when I am close to them, they look like a massive white sphere. When I zoom out far enough, the textures then happen. Pictures show what I am saying.

Happens on high and low settings.

I know AMD cards have been having problems, I did update my drivers.

EDIT: Some celestial bodies work, like Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto

Also I am getting another graphical glitch:

Same card, same bugs.

I'm on the latest drivers.

Visited Mercury today, and it's just a white sphere. So I checked the other planets/objects:

Earth
Luna
Venus
Mercury
Sol (although maybe it's supposed to be a featureless white sphere? it'd be nice to see sunspots and prominences.)
ScottManleyAsteroid (love that he gets props, but no texture at all?)
Borisov
HaleBopComet
LovejoyComet
HalleysComet
MakemakeComet
Oumuamua
Sedna
Haumea
Eris
Charon
Pluto (come on!!!! Pluto gets no love?!)
Triton
Neptune
Oberon
Titania
Umbriel
Ariel
Miranda
Uranus
Iapetus
Titan
Rhea
Dione
Tethys ...

Wondering if you're seeing the same thing I did. Some objects have textures, but most do not.

I have the same problem.

RX 6800, latest drivers.

Seeing the same as capran with the addition of Mars and Phobos have textures. One difference from the OP is I'm not seeing textures when zoomed out either - on the two I checked (Vesta, Mercury)

I know that a lot of the bodies in the game just don't have textures anyways. I don't have an exact list off the top of my head but that would be useful to compare against. In the case of ones that should but you still see a white sphere (particularly Earth) I've heard that disabling oceans can help fix the issue. Otherwise yeah this is part of the known issues surrounding AMD GPUs.

Same issue here... I have my specs in the pinned GPU thread. I noticed that if you change the Tonemapper to anything other than Hable, the Earth shows up as black instead of white. I also noticed that if you change the camera to Hunter, you can see the terrain through the glass of his visor...

 

[TECbot]

you caan see terrain if you uncheck "atmosphere" in volumetrics category of graphics settings. I hope there's a fix, and that my gpu can keep up.
