I have just updated my drivers to 191.07, and now the shaders all work fully, and I am getting no crashes at Esusti. I celebrated by flying straight into the sun, since I couldn't get there before :)

I am VERY sorry for not checking this before, now I know why games support always tell people to update their drivers :oops: Thanks for all your help everyone, and hopefully this will help others in the future who have similar crashes. Thanks everyone for your patience!

Indeed I was thinking that there should be a readme when installing Oolite which does have the most common links (ATI and nVidia) and asks people to verify that they are running the newest drivers. Older ATI drivers have some nasty problems too and you are not the first one in the last weeks to have problems with old nVidia ones...

I'm really happy that it works now! I've suffered problems myself during my first months here and since it's better I'm enjoying this game oh-so-much more!

Yay!

You might have noticed I haven't yet updated that station (RL was in the way), good to know the reason for those mysterious crashes! :D

In that case I defenitely add a warning about this in the readMe under the head: "Known problems".
Two of the three stations I already had re-centred in the previous link. I will now go ahead in renaming some files to better unique names and upload a new version in the near future.
