(Sorry for the bad english.)
I have an old integrated Intel video card.
I tried four video settings configurations (All other video settings are set to default):

1. Video memory usage: High, Texture compression: Low quality
   GUI is OK, but all playing area is black.
2. Video memory usage: Low, Texture compression: Low quality
   Playing area mostly black too, only these objects are visible:
   • Player
   • Rocks
   • Cliffs
   • Dead trees (live trees are not visible)
3. Video memory usage: High, Texture compression: None
   Looks good.
4. Video memory usage: Low, Texture compression: None
   Looks good.

I attached log files, and screenshots for the first two case.

I am having the same problem. The menus will open and will work but the base terrain will not load. I can move around, mine the rocks/trees, craft things. i was able to place the miner and furnace but they both were not showing any image yet still were intractable.

Thanks for the report.
Fixed for 0.17.2

This is oversight, I used a feature that doesn't work on DirectX 10.0 class hardware.

Since you have only 4 GB RAM, texture compression should be beneficial for you (also for rendering performance)
