List of problems:
Parts of ships act like they have no z-buffer when viewed from angles lower than 70 degrees below vertical relative to the surface.
Glass is no longer transparent, appears filled with a grayish white color.

 These problems do not appear when "no lighting" is applied in ship lab.

Drivers are up to date. Using Intel 3rd gen HD Graphics 4000 which "should" be able to use OGL shaders without any problems.

Should being the operative word. They don't.

Technically they can but Intel's HD Graphics drivers have so many OpenGL related problems that in practice they don't.

Bah, stolen by E.

Figured as much, was just wondering if anyone had found a viable fix or anything similar. It's not that big of a problem tbh and the game itself is still easily playable.

You could try a few of the troubleshooting command line flags. "-disable_pbo" in particular was created to work around a crash in the Linux Intel video drivers. "-novbo" and "-disable_fbo" may also be worth a try.

Unfortunately, none of those work in any combination. I actually found out today that a video driver was released recently so I will update and see if anything has changed.

Update: It fixed it! Ships are no longer see through and all post processing and shaders work properly.
