Zooming on most bodies crashes the game

[Flu]

Game Version​

2026.6.2.4531

Operating System​

Linux NixOS with an AMD Radeon RX 6800M

What Happened​

On a fresh save, fresh install of the game, focusing on Pluto (or Titan, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, although not Mars or the moon) and zooming in, results in a crash. The freeze happens fairly close to the bodies. The actual angular distance at which it happens seems to depend on the body, but it may have something to do with the distance from the surface. Seems to affect multiple systems with Linux and AMD GPUs.

What Was Expected​

Expected behavior was zooming in until I could see the planet in its entirety.

Reproduction Steps​

1. Open game, no loading of any save, default values.
2. Press M for map view
3. Zoom out until the whole solar system is visible.
4. Either double-click on Saturn (and subsequently on Titan) or Pluto or the other planets affected.
5. Start zooming in (slowly or rapidly does not make a difference) until it crashes.

Reproduction Rate​

Always

I can duplicate this issue on my device. Zoomed in to Pluto and crashed immediately. This was not present on my previously installed version, v2026.5.11.4462.
