Summary0015877: Suddenly the solar map is nothing but white
DescriptionI went off to beat up a Pirate Base, had fun with the frame-rate TANKING when I unlocked one of those ancient Hydral techs that had three squadrons of ships in it (so many ships on screen at once, my laptop was not impressed), and now that I've won and returned to the solar map...it is white. Like, eye-blinding white. All planets are gone, the background image is gone. The only thing left is the menu. The planet links however ARE still there, I can hover over them successfully. About to see if I can make this fix itself, but reporting it first. I don't know if it will remain in the save or not, but attaching it just in case.

Entered another battle, the screen has not fixed itself. Rebooting TLF did fix it, so it's not too bad an issue as it seems, but it was baffling.

I have no idea but... did the logs say anything to explain it not loading the graphics? (Debug/unhandled errors)

I think I had same issue, several times. I unpause game and it goes back to normal in a few seconds.

What OS are the two of you on, and general system specs in terms of RAM and GPU?

Also, do you have a savegame where you can repro your framerate tanking that then leads to this?

Thanks!

I'm on Windows 8, 4GB of RAM. Got both an Intel HD Graphics 4000 and a Radeon HD 7670M graphics cards.

Haven't got a save game at the moment, but if I run into that Hydral tech again I'll add it. It's always the one that "contains three full squadrons" of ships that tanks the framerate, but this is the first time it's made the solar map go white.

Got it, that makes sense. I will probably need to adjust that particular bonus there, heh.

For 1.606:

* The "Hydral Ship Storage Hangar" capturable now grants orbital bombers instead of squadrons.

Thanks :)

It happened to me once more recently. Right after battle. But there wasn't any Hydral hangar, there weren't many units in battle and generally my laptop didn't have any problems running game preformance-wise.
I noticed that when this white screen happens, some big explosion sound is played. Or it might be some different sound which I took for big explosion when I saw this blinding white :)

So I just launched a planetcracker... So this white screen is what happens when you launch it. Except in reported cases there were no planetcrackers launched and no planets destroyed.

For 1.608:

* Fixed a bug where the planet-destroyed whiteout was fading with sim-time rather than real-time (and thus not fading at all while the game is paused, which it often would be after such an event).

Thanks :)

Are you sure you want to mark this as fixed? There's still this bug, where sometimes after battle planetcracking animation (white screen) and sound are played, but without any planetcracking taking place.
