What is this texture anyway? As a guess it is the diffuse for Jupiter as seen in the background of the Jupiter sector? During that 4 hours I entered Jupiter dozens of times and Jupiter looked fine as well. If this is the case it would mean that sometimes it fails for some reason. What is special about that file? Is the texture larger than average? Or is it handled differently due to being a planet texture?
My only conclusion so far must be that either X4 has some very obscure compatibility issue with my hardware that occasionally occurs, or the trigger is extremely convoluted and something most people are unlikely to encounter and I am just unfortunate to be frequently stumbling into it (large base of operations in Jupiter).
Something I did notice this time was that I enabled the logical overview graphs to look at various station statistics. I wonder if it is an interaction with that, the stations being in Jupiter and loading Jupiter for the background while heavy combat is occurring nearby in an L or XL ship.
Moving forward I will update my graphic driver, motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers in case those help. However I do not see how that could fix it failing for just that specific file.
