Error loading texture generator shaders

[Raige Jamart]

I am running SpaceEngine on a Core i5 3570K with a GTX1060 3GB with the 431.60 driver and after the last update I am getting this message: error loading texture generator shaders. This disables all textures of the procedural planets. Is anyone experiencing a similar problem or has a solution?

I have a similar problem: I'm getting that message when starting the game from Steam Play, perhaps it's an issue with proton.

I'm getting it as well. Whenever I try disabling I just get a white screen too.

I partially solved the problem by reinstalling, which I had to do every time I played. Now reinstalling is no longer working and I can't play the game.

Found the solution here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/314650/discussions/1/1746769761278516561/

i.e. deleting the contents of Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngine\cache\shaders

THANK YOU!!!! I was going back and forth with support here for a week trying different things to fix it before they ghosted me. This got me back on track in a second. I can get my space fix again! I appreciate you.
