Bug at Game Launch

[TheLesserWeevil]

Recently when launching into the game I am faced with a major issue. My ship is not visible and the camera is stuck at sea level and cannot be moved. Occasionally I can see the ocean floor when the waves sweep over the camera. Sail controls and camera controls have no effect, so I am completely stuck and can't do anything.

 

I was able to play the game without any issues until this started happening at random. Only thing I can think of is that I recently reformatted my OS onto an SSD, and also installed the game onto the SSD. However, the game worked fine for a couple of days after that reformat, so I assume that is not the issue.

 

Reinstalling the game didn't fix the problem.

Reinstalling the game onto a regular hard drive had no effect.

Verifying game integrity via Steam showed no problems.

Pressing Home button has no effect.

Sent report to developers via F11 key. 

Screenshot attached, showing sea floor as waves sweep over camera. No ship visible. Only GUI displayed is chat window. Chat works fine.

 

For about 10 seconds after closing the F11 report window, the FPS, ping and number of players online is displayed at bottom of screen. Ping displayed is 0, even with firewall off & antivirus disabled. Internet connection is fine. Assuming the zero ping is a false reading.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Bump.

 

Problem still persists.

Fixed the problem.

 

What I did was completely uninstall the game. I then updated all graphics drivers before reinstalling the game.
