Missing Plasma Cannon Barrel

Also, I'm using the most up-to-date version of Dark Avatar.

this also happens to me to, but the black cylender ive never seen, perhaps its a graphics card issue?

Go ahead and post your debug just to give your video card/driver info, and a screenshot as well if you can get one.

Here is an image of the issue.

I am also having an issue where whenever I "use" a template and then attempt to save that template (as a template), the game crashes.

Also, I am aware that the sound doesn't work on this computer.

Anyone?

Yes, someone. Someone who have the same problem of yours (though my PC and Video Card are different) and another not so little, albeit for me, since I enjoy creating very complex ships. As I posted a few times ago, in some cases, adding another component cause the graphic to act in a very original way. Some components (or part of them) disappear, triangles and lines pop up from nowhere to "link" various parts of the ships, the textures change colors, etc.
Here is an example (I hope the link works; if not I'll try to re-post it):



The question has been treated in a previous post (https://forums.galciv2.com/?forumid=357&aid=154693), but the solution suggested by Kryo didn't resolve the problem.
After some experiments I can say that the problem is not related to the dimension of the *shipcfg file: I have ships far more complex than the one depicted above, whose *.shipcfg file has near 500 lines more, yet the rendering is perfect.

Since Kryo, if he is around, will ask me for it, here is the debug.err file's content:

My humble apologies to Kryo   . He was right: disabling the 'enhanced ship rendering' option in the menu resolves all the problems; I simply forgot to restart the game in order to enable the option.
Now the question to the developer is: where do these problems come from? It is evident that they are not the same thing (some parts of some objects appear missing even if the ship has only those parts and the hull, whereas the erratic graphic behaviour I mentioned above seems to be linked to the numbers and type of ship's components). If it is so, why, then, disabling the 'enhanced ship rendering' option fixes both?
And, above all, can we hope it'll be resolved in a future patch?

BTW: even with the 'enhanced ship rendering' option disabled, tweaking my video card settings I obtained better looking ship. Some parts have textures which benefit from a more "sharp" look.

Enhanced ship rendering uses a variety of new methods to increase performance, but it still seems to have a few bugs.
