Description

If you put a vehicle into on-rails timewarp, and then attempt to use the physical warp keys (alt+, and alt+.), the message "Cannot switch time rate modes while above 10x Warp." appears. This is true, even at 5x and 10x warp, where the message is partially inaccurate.

After further checking, I believe that this is related to the font used. In 0.17 through 0.18.2, it clearly states "1.0x Warp" while it appears to say "10x Warp" in 0.18.3 through 0.20. I'm guessing it's more of a change in the default font or rendering becoming harder to read with post-0.18.3/0.18.4 changes?

Confirmed with 0.22. It looks like the dot-matrix effect of the font causes the serifs of the 1 to visually meld with the decimal point.

Since KSP doesn't have non-integer warp factors, a viable quickfix could be to print the speed factors as integers instead of floats.

It would appear that this issue has been resolved by the addition of a dialogue box and the removal of the original text in the screenshots.

Marking as resolved for feedback before closing.
