Why has the UI to be so ugly?
runner78 replied to tomkpunkt's topic in KSP2 Suggestions and Development Discussion
The problem here is probably when pixel art fonts are not used in the font size for which they were designed. -
integrated GPUs are still GPUs

Release KSP2 Release Notes - Update v0.1.1.0
runner78 replied to Intercept Games's topic in KSP2 Dev Updates
One has to take into account that Unity is quite advanced in development since the beginning of KSP1. Some limitations do not exist anymore, and some limitations also arise from the inexperience of the developers. Unreal, however, is starting to get the problems unity used to have with its easy accessibility: many games with the same look. I just recently saw a video of an Unreal developer ranting about Unreal. More and more bad Unreal games are coming out. While it's easy to make "good-looking games" with unreal 5, that doesn't mean that this only applies to the trailers and that the game is then just bad or boring. he also ranting that unreal is becoming more and more complex and complicated with every update. I tried Unreal 5 times, apart from the huge installation size, between 40 and 110 GB depending on the components, I felt more comfortable with Unity. -
You should also be able to set the version manually in the settings, according to SteamDB there is a public branch for the current version

Why I'm Excited - An overview of HDRP and CBT Studies
runner78 replied to RayneCloud's topic in KSP2 Discussion
At the weekend I tried to create an experimental orbit scene in HDRP with realistic stars (HDRI skybox) but had quite a problem with the exposure, as soon as an object such as a planet was even slightly in sight, the whole scene was completely overexposed . However, I think that the move to HDRP is a bit late and maybe it should have been used from the start, or at least upgraded earlier in development since it's quite a hassle now. -
I had the same problem once that I got into the map at enter "m" on saving in VAB, and once I had the problem that spacebar no longer triggered stagings. Had to restart the game and then it went back to normal.

Vertical flat-kerbin bug
runner78 replied to lordcomac's topic in KSP2 Technical Support (PC, unmodded installs)
After I saw this bug here in form for the first time, I thought, funny bug, 30 minutes later my space station crashed into VAB... in orbit. -
Unity's job system only has one worker thread per local CPU, and by the way it's a C++. The C# job system is just a wrapper over it. Unity also supports async/await, e.g. "async void Update()". For 2023.1, unity has also implemented its own Awaiter type that has less overhead and is then used for asyncone unity calls. Only crafts within your vicinity will be loaded, at least the visual/part-physics. All others craft no longer play a role when it comes to local physics. I've never heard of Update() or job being skipped. The thread is about burst not compiling a job, but that only means the C# JIT is executed as a fallback. The job is always executed.

But you need a GPU to display the Terminal.

You always need a GPU to see anything on a monitor at all. I hardly think you can play KSP via an SSH Terminal from another computer.

The MonoBehavior message methods are called onthe main thread, but it does not mean that you have to calculate everything in it. You can just plan in LateUpdate() an job, and use the result in the Update() on the next frame. Many API from Unity now have job support, e.g. RaycastCommand. I do not know exactly to what extent the phsix multihiltering model is used in unity, but even if you calculate two vehicles separately, as soon as they are close to each other, they must be calculated together again so that the collision detection works. KSP2 actually uses the job system and burst, but it is still surprising why, for example, the fuel System case som problems, I assume that you can the complete the work in jobs pro vessel/station, and is not dependent on Engine APIs.
-
I think you're not quite up to date, Unity itself uses a lot of multithreading on the engine side. Rendering uses its own thread, physics is actually multithreading so far i know. And with Unity's job system, a game developer can implement multithreading quite "easily" and is also used a lot internally by Unity. But physics is generally not particularly well suited for multithreading and has some limitation.

First impression from Scott Manley's gameplay video.
runner78 replied to Tweeker's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
The tutorials voise reminds me a bit of the voice of Venti from Genshin Impact (male character, female english voice actor 30+), or a youtuber with a similar voice who creates Gensin Impact content. The voice doesn't have to be pitched, Paimon from Genshin Impact isn't pitched either (english voice), she can speak like that. In animes generally, children are spoken by adult women. -
Solution to the minmus paradox

By means of a tractor beam that attracts everything that comes close to create the illusion of gravity. -
Solution to the minmus paradox
runner78 replied to Newgame space program's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
Minmus is actually a hollow artificial satellite that uses ice as a camouflage and at the same time as a photovoltaic system by absorbing all heat energy that hits the surface and keeping the ice frozen. -
Are the part modules implemented in a similar way to KSP1 or differently? The current implementation is unfortunately not the most efficient, and especially when mods increase part module count, it has a significant performance impact.

A big problem I foresee with KSP 2: pc resources
runner78 replied to king of nowhere's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
By the way, that's just Unity's old default. This can be changed in the project. -

runner78 replied to king of nowhere's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
Editor or runtime? Game performance in the editor is always much slower than runtime build due to the editor overhead. There is also a difference whether the editor is in release mode or debug mode. For example, it makes no sense for level designers to run the editor in debug mode, this is only useful when debugging scripts. -
What map projection does KSP2 use?
runner78 replied to Jack Mcslay's topic in Prelaunch KSP2 Discussion
With mordern Unity (Jobs + Burst + new Mesh API) shouldn't be a problem on the CPU either. I saw an example, a coin animation at 60 fps (in the editor) when a new mesh was created every frame with over 100,000 quads. -
It certainly depends on the game, but the menu and controls are often different. Genshin impact also uses asset bundles for ingame updates (events). But what you have to consider from the beginning is the performance, if the game should also be playable on low end devices, it is better to develop it for this right from the start. Genshin impact is, in my opinion, a good example that it succeeded, and the visually most beautiful anime-style game on the market.
