No Planets Or Ships Showing

Weird weird bug. My game ran fine until I installed 1.2beta and the 'invisible' modules mod.
There are no planets or ships graphics showing at all - only the small icons you get when zooming out.
The strange thing is, I reinstalled everything after uninstalling the game and deleting remaining files, updated to 1.11, enabled collectors content and still have the same problem.
I have not changed my PC /hardware settings in any way.
