Celestia crashes, what it draws is messed up or its extremely slow. What can I do?
Celestia makes use of the most advanced features of OpenGL that your graphics driver claims to support. Many older OpenGL implementations have serious bugs. a) Upgrade to the most recent drivers for your graphics card. Download them for free from the Web site of the manufacturer of your card. Make sure full hardware acceleration is enabled in your display properties. b)Download and install the most recent version of Celestia. The program is constantly being revised. c) Turn off Celestia’s advanced display features. Type a [Ctrl-V] several times to select “Basic” or “Multitexture” render paths instead of the OpenGL Vertex programs.
