Description

I've got this weird bug in stock KSP.
Just to make sure I deleted the game and re-downloaded a new version from steam.

Steps to Reproduce:

1- load KSP (no mods)
2- go to tracking station
3- focus on duna
4- tilt the camera ~45° under the ecliptic plane
5- zoom out untill you can see jool's orbit line
6- fiddle around with the camera position and zoom untill you see the issue (should be pretty easy to spot)

Description of the issue:
Random lines flicker on the screen, they look like copies of Jool's and Eeloo's orbit lines (judging from the color)
they flicker very fast, I had to take tens of screenshots before capturing one (see attached file)

My opinion:

This issue seems to get worse on smaller bodies. In one of my mods I create very small planets (60 meter radius) and the sky is full of these flickering lines when I use the mod.
It also seems to get triggered by moving the camera, even though the lines keep flickering also when the camera is still.

If you need any more info let me know. I could provide logs, but they don't show anything weird.

History

#1 Updated by Lucinotion almost 8 years ago

I can confirm this still happens in 1.2.1

#2 Updated by Sigma88 almost 8 years ago

This still happens in 1.2.2

Actually I think this bug was there even before 1.2.0 but only with 1.2.0 it started to freak out when adding new planets. That's how I noticed.

Yeah, when using the kopernicus mod to add the outer planets mod or play with the galileo planet pack , this problem is very annoying.
The orbit lines of the outer planets flicker constantly. See this video: https://youtu.be/JZi-gteRn4I
This is a highly modded install, tho.

Any chance to get this fixed for 1.3?

#6 Updated by Sigma88 over 7 years ago

bug is still present on 1.3

I tried the pre-release (1.3.1) and the bug is still showing (if you need any help troubleshooting it feel free to contact me)

#8 Updated by Sigma88 about 7 years ago

#9 Updated by Sigma88 about 7 years ago

  • Version changed from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0

#10 Updated by Bornholio about 7 years ago

Testing new version of RSS. Adding more minor planets and moons is getting this issue pretty often.
Was able to duplicate in clean stock 1.3.0 also.

Is it possible to apply a 0-255 transparency mask instead of just hard dropping or applying them?

I am not sure these reports are being useful at all, so I'm going to stop repeating the same message over and over

if there are any files you would like me to share ask and you shall receive

I've attached a screenshot of this happening in 1.11.1; here focused on Jool, zoomed out, looking upwards ~60 degrees, fresh game file with no crafts launched.

Seems to be fixed in 1.12!
