Status: offline 		Hello!

I am currently having a bug where my planet shadow overly is not matching up with the planets in game.
I am currently using the Graphics Enhancement Mod (GEM) v2.4.

I would love to take a screenshot and upload it, but can't manage to do that either right now.

Anyone else have/had this problem? I could re-install everything, but really would love to avoid that.

Thanks in advance!

Extract the file (shading.png) to Matrix Games\Distant Worlds\images\environment\overlays\shadow

If you are installing the mod again in the future, that is the name of the file you don't want to install from GEM.

I have opened up a ticket and hopefully can get this sorted out. Wish me luck!

I only mentioned reinstallation in case you happen to do so for another reason in the future.

I should have just been patient and waited, but I went ahead with un-installing it. Stupid me.

Thank you for your reply and advice anyways :)
