Flickering lights bug

Travis shared this bug 6 years ago
Won't Fix

Been experiencing a bug that could cause my photo sensitive cousin to go into epelictic shock with the lights in Space Engineers. I know this because even though I am not as photo sensitive, I just about puked when the lights started flickering in one of my worlds. It’s never been that bad before:(

Hello, Engineer!


I am really sorry to hear that.. I hope we can solve this issue as soon as possible.


Are you using any mods which could cause this??


Could you provide us screenshots, video and world with the issue??


Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Hey guys I recently found another Space Engineers player had also run into the flickering lights bug. But it’s not nearly as bad as mine his name is Farrel1701. And here is a link to his video on the bug and other issues: https://youtu.be/TQtu5WLSUGw


I’m not that great at making videos and I haven’t taken screen shots before, but I can tell you that no mods are responsible for mine as this old world was a simple vanilla red ship with some extras. What I experienced was about ten fold what Farrel1701 was experiencing in his short video:(


Please fix this soon

Here you go. A vanilla world with nothing. And the Light Flicker bug persists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPeM9m_Y4cs&feature=youtu.be

One thing I forgot to add. The more blocks and complex the build, the more the lights and spot lights flicker. Just like the video linked by Travis

The light flicker bug is not limited to the lights. Also effects particles in exactly the same manner. Using the Particle emitter mod for a controlled and sustained effect, active emitters with a looped effect, like oxygenvent, stop short of their full effect when viewed the same way the lights cut out at certain angles.

Hey Keen Guys

So we've been VERY patient and VERY polite about this issue, but we have heard nothing from you concerning this. Now I know that from your perspective, if solely relying on this platform as a source of input, that this issue is minor and nearly non-existent, but I can assure you that it is prevalent but for reasons I have yet to understand, people are not reporting it; although they are happy to complain about it on other platforms. Can you give us some input as to the status of this issue? Seriously, I like this game and would hate for this production to be terminated because someone suffered an epileptic seizure and brought Keen Software House to court because of something that could have been addressed and prevented.

Hello, Engineers!

It´s quite long time from when the issue was originally posted. Is it still happening to you, or was it fixed meanwhile?

Thanks for letting us know.

Kind Regards

Hello, Engineers!


Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.


If you or any other player will experience this issue again, please make a new thread and provide all needed info there.


Thank you for understanding.


Kind Regards
