Description

I was playing my career game, sent a big station to Duna orbit, then tried to land a first outpost on the surface. That was hardly possible as the FPS dropped to unplayable levels as soon I was low enough over the planet. I couldn't play unless I pointed camera into the sky.

I have integrated graphics, so I do not expect great performance, but the game was totally playable until this point. I get 56 FPS in the Space Center, 15 FPS near the huge space station orbiting duna… and 5FPS on Duna surface.

I reproduced the problem on vanilla KSP (only HyperEdit to put craft on Duna, mod removed then). Craft on the launchpad: 56 FPS, craft on Duna: 5FPS.
-force-glcore, -force-glcore33 launch options do not help. Graphics preferences are already set to minimum (I played with something better before the problem hit me).

Oh… and I run the 64-bit KSP.

#3 Updated by Jajcus about 8 years ago

I have found a workaround:

UNSUPPORTED_LEGACY_SHADER_TERRAIN = True

in settings.cfg. Looks quite bad, but FPS is back to 56 – playable, at least.

I have the same issue. Getting less than 5 fps on the Duna surface.
Even after removing all mods, removing settings.cfg and "rm -rf ~/.config/unity3d" the issue remains.

The simplest 7-parts craft on Duna gets less than 5 fps, even the static covering Kerbalheads stays for 15-20 seconds. Switching to map mode makes the problem disappear, switching back to the Duna surface immediately drops to less than 5fps.

I have no problem landing 30-parts crafts on Minmus.

I tried almost every solution from the KSP forums, lowering graphics settings does not help at all.

"UNSUPPORTED_LEGACY_SHADER_TERRAIN = True" works, but is awful to look at.
