Ship graphics bug
So I fly from planet A to planet B, and suddenly I can't see my ship anymore, and nothing is rendering besides empty space (with stars etc) -not my ship, interior or exterior, not other ships, planets, debris - nothing but the space background. The HUD controls are there, but I can't actually control the ship or see it fly or anything. I can still fast travel with it, land the ship, get out and walk around, take off is normal, but in space I can't see the ship and the screen doesn't show anything besides empty space.

Anyone seen this bug before?

Dont know this bug but it does sound too me as if there is a procesing error, some part of the game can not proces fast enough to keep up with what you are seeing on the screen.

Likely hardware related ontop of a wonky game engine design, you could try to increase windows virtual memory file but only do this when you got plenty of free storage room on you SSD.

Yes, but not since the new patch. Not saying it's fixed now I just haven't encountered it since.

Oh, the FPS improvement patch #10877a
Because Bethesda knows, performance is everything.

Remember, no rendering means no stuttering.

This is what my screen looks like while flying now. If I try to flay around, I can see the speed changing when I turn, and I can hear the sound effect, but nothing renders.

This is strange because I finished one whole playthrough without having any real bugs, but after the latest patch I get tons of game-breaking bugs now. This is only the one I haven't found any way to fix on my own.

EDIT: I've tried exiting the game completely and then reloading, I've tried loading a previous save, I tried verifying game files in Steam. All no effect.

I'm playing on a brand new PC with AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU, 2tb SSD, and Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card.

EDIT: Also tried uninstalling and re-installing, still broke.

What if you save, close the game completely and reload everything?

That seems to solve mine when they occur.

Fully finished two playthroughs, and now on my third this bug is happening again.

I've had this bug before, most of the time forcing a shader recompile solved the problem for me.

Ok I found the solution to this bug, if anyone else had this one.

If this happens to you then land on a planet. Then fast travel to another plant's orbit. The bug will be gone. You have to go to orbit, not the surface.
