Description

Pretty much what the title says. The sun moves in a jerking motion whenever I timewarp above it. I also tried to land on minmus and when I timewarped while falling to the surface I jerked around the planet while also moving down.

History

#1 Updated by RYUAZUKU99 almost 7 years ago

Orbits also jerk around when you are attempting to land! Do not forget about that

I was not able to recreate this when I booted up the game the next day.

#2 Updated by RYUAZUKU99 almost 7 years ago

This was on a clean install with no mods at all. I verified the integrity of the files many times with steam finding no issues at all.

#3 Updated by RYUAZUKU99 almost 7 years ago

When on the ksc screen(to select a building) the sun jerks around instead of smoothly transitioning around like it usually does.

Here is a video of what I mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icTd8nG9cpM&feature=youtu.be

and from orbit around the sun itself https://youtu.be/f3keimKkGv0

I was also playing the 64 bit version of ksp since I usually am running it with mods.

I can confirm this. Also on windows.

"The downside of reducing the precision is that the rotation of the sun is less smooth, so we end up with a sun that tends to move in small steps rather than one fluid motion across the sky.
But the plus side is we reduce the difference between clock ticks and we don't get light shadows flickering all over the place."

some weeks ago Squad told us in a "KSP Weekly" that they solved the problem for the upcoming 1.3.1 release

  • Severity changed from Critical to Low

This is because in time-warp update rate is drastically reduced, often down to 1fps or 2fps.

It is a tradeoff.

Unless this is causing issues in gameplay I am reducing it to low because it is an aesthetic issue.

If you need smooth movement and time updates turn off timewarp.
