Time Warp Limits

[Bluejayek]

Why do these exist?

I understand that we have to limit it to 2x in atmosphere/while accelerating to stay off rails, but why are there limits for 100km, 300km, etc? I find these very annoying, specifically when I am in a low kerbal orbit and want to wait for a specific part of the orbit to begin a transfer maneurver.

I think it might have something to do with how the planet\'s terrain is loaded.

For regular computers, warping 100x at where LKO would fry most CPUs

It\'s due to terrain rendering.

Under the logic that it would fry most computers, why not simply have settings for limitations in the options menu? If you have a rig to handle the madness, it isn\'t an issue to you. (You could use common sense to know how high to go)

If the limits are terrain related, they\'re probably also to reduce crashing from excessive heap size. But as that\'s a unity bug...

I think it also has something to do with collision hazards. Yesterday I dived from 12,000 km into Kerbin at x10,000 and the game didn\'t have time to slow down, so I went right through the surface, which crashed the game ???
