Sun shines through everything for a single specific direction

Adam Hall shared this bug 2 years ago
Won't Fix

This is a very strange bug but it seems to happen for any world and any save as far as I can tell. There is always a certain direction your character can face and it makes the Sun shine through whatever voxels or grids that should be blocking it. Without modding to help give you the directional vector (I do mod stuff), I can't tell you what the special direction is. It is very exact whatever it is. Its actually quite hard to aim for it just right. Rather often when you rotate your view you see the sun flash momentarily as you pass it.

I have to believe you guys have seen this to be honest. Unless its some very strange issue with my drivers/setting/etc....

Let me know if you need more info and I'll try to get it. I'll give it guess now. Could it be Character direction equals Vector3D.Zero when it happens? Just a thought.

Hello, Adam!

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Please make sure you are running an unmodded world and please supply some screenshots of what you are experiencing and a save file from the affected world too. This way, I can compare if I am getting the same result. I had a look through a previous related post here https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/sun-shining-through-everything although not limited to a certain direction. This user experienced the sun shining through blocks. It may be worth having a look through my colleague's response to find how this was resolved. Could you also supply your system specifications? Is this happening on certain graphical settings?

With regards to your save file:


  • You can access your save files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves. There should be a folder with your SteamID and your saves.
  • Please zip the file and attach it here. If you are having difficulty attaching files you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

Kind Regards

Hello, Engineer!

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there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.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