Ships become cubes on taking damage
« on: September 11, 2016, 11:46:35 PM »

My laptop got broken and so I loaded SS on my old computer(2009 and updated 2013) while laptop is repaired. When I get or do damage the ship gets a cube or damage around of it. While on small ships it is not too bad, on big ones it looks sick. You cant see the ship itself behind the damage cube. Saw in search some sort of this problem posted 2012, but my drivers seem to be ok. Any idea what could cause this? Because there was no such problems on ver 6 which I played on this computer last time.

I encountered a similar problem, here's the thread you might find something in Alex's responses there

For me the problem fixed with a rollback and reinstall of my graphics driver

Yeah, this is definitely looking like a driver issue. It's being told to clip the damaged area to the ship sprite, but isn't actually doing it for whatever reason.
