Planets cause blackened textures/shadow
Outdated
Recently i have problems with all textures being covered in a strange blackout effect,
after some testing it seems that planets cause this issue, if there are no planets in the world space the issue does not occur. specifically planets with atmospheres seem to be the problem, the earth like moon is the one exception.
If i spawn a planet in an empty world it will consistently instantly break the textures/shadows of all objects, voxels blocks and characters, turning them black
this issue only began for me within the week, and began after a crash to desktop.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled space engineers twice and the problem persists
I have the same bug 
That empty world testing was with the default settings and no mods?
They probably could use your game logs, SpaceEngineers.log and VRageRender-DirectX11.log from %appdata%/SpaceEngineers.

A friend of mine was having this similar issue. After doing some testing I found out it's actually whatever mesh and textures they use for the atmosphere of planets. I made a custom planet that is earth-like, using all the vanilla settings, however i used the value <HasAtmosphere>false</HasAtmosphere>and she no longer gets black textures while on earth. This custom planet i made also worked for another individual in this steam thread https://steamcommunity.com/app/244850/discussions/0/3276824488714795374/?ctp=4
I would love if you could give my planet a try and see if it works for you. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1549037799
Instructions; Start with lone survivor or empty world. Load in the mod. Once you load in, do Shift+F10 for the spawn menu, and spawn in the planet called 'Kara'(Named after my friend who had the issue) and see if that works for you. More information for specifics can be found in that stream thread. My username is SICC.
I hope this helps, and I hope Keen takes a look at this as well.

I have solved this problem on my pc by going out and getting a new graphics card 1050 TI. I know it's a bit pricey but I it s what has to be done. I got gforce 1050ti at best buy for about $120 + $60 to upgrade power because at this point why not. Works like a dream now with no lag runs rely smoth but same cant be said for wifi well that's another problem for another day. It's well worth the investment it will boost your pc in every aspect

While yes, upgrading your PC is always a fix for the most part, the fact that this issue is solely due to the atmospheric textures and meshes they use for some people I would like to think is an easy fix. My friend who was having the issues has been playing the game perfectly fine since we removed the atmosphere on planets. She's able to run the game fine on low/medium settings, it was purely the atmospheric settings which was causing black textures for her and other ppl who used my custom planet.

I have the same issue. As soon as I leave the station in the easy start scenario, every texture starts fading into black. On Planets without athmopshere everything seems to be ok. I played 400h on this laptop without a real GPU and any problems (ThinkPad-T470, 32GB Ram, Intel HD Graphics 620). It would be really sad if this problem stays forever.
