In my setup some asteroids are invisible or flickering from visible to invisible depending on where I turn the ship. This also applies to space stations where their hull plating goes invisible from time to time.

Visible asteroids after shifting the view a bit:

This is quite annoying when trying to fly through a asteroid field.

My config.ini: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/378312/

Distribution: Arch Linux
Intel X4500HD using xf86-video-intel 2.15.0-1 (i915)
Xorg version = 1.10.1-1

Any ideas?

Wow that's wiggity wack. I've got a laptop with a gma 945 that runs arch and uses xf86-video-intel but i haven't tried it since the 2.15.0-1 update.

I'll give it a whirl and see if i get the same problem!

Arch is working just fine here. Intel GMA 4500MHD, 64-bit.

Played for a few hours on my laptop today. None of the roids were invisible.

I have similar setup here, another distro, and runs perfectly...

what you are describing seems more a local config error. Try reverting all to min/max windowed and full screen, or better, bkp then erase local wgaf.ini and config.ini from ~/.vendetta or wherever you used.
