[2.1.7] Asteroid textures not showing

After loading my save file from 2.0.77, the textures of all asteroid types and sizes (including chunks) that are floating around space platforms are invisible. Items in inventory or on belts, as well as the asteroid animations in their factoriopedia page show correctly.

Particle affects and health bars are shown. The particle effects can make it seem like there are a lot of chunks, but they fade out before they reach the ship.

When I hover over a rocket turret or an asteroid grabber, shadows of those asteroid chunks are visible.

I've tried (without success):
* Opening different versions of the map
* saving it with 2.1.7 and reopening it
* restarting the game and verifying files in steam
Edit:
I've also tried:
* Reverting to 2.0.77. Maps saved in 2.1.7 could not be opened, but maps saved in 2.0.77 or older had all the asteroid sprites
* Installing experimental 2.1.7 again. Asteroid sprites are missing again on all saves.

[2.1.7] Invisible asteroids in space

Ocurring consistently since I updated to 2.1.7, asteroids aren't rendering anymore.
Their shadows display when a weapon turret overlays, they're targetable, and they explode correctly.

I noticed this myself when using the F5 debug mode. I narrowed down the offending setting to be always-show-lightning-protection. When enabled, it causes the described issues.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. This is now fixed for the next release.
