Description Paul Blew 2014-07-16 00:22:44 EDT 
After playing for a period of time (can be 5 - 60 minutes), either large areas of the landscape render as black or the game graphics stop updating completely. Switching to the desktop and then returning to SIV seems to return rendering back to normal in either case and I am able to continue the game for another 5 - 60 minutes

With 0.5.5, the landscape rendering large black areas is now permanent when using landscape hardware rendering mode (software rendering mode is still fine)

It seems when I fixed some issues with rendering transformed vertices, I broke other things.

No worries.  I'll keep an eye on it and report back if anything changes.
