StoneWolfPC Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 On a ship that size my system didn't lag that bad. The problem is that it didn't look ANYTHING as gorgeous as this. I had my settings on max for launch, and it was no where this beautiful on a 1440p monitor.... even in screenshots. In a bit I'll try to load up and show you what I mean. I get everything scatterer gives using force-dx12 but it's just nothing quite as nice as this video...... maybe it's the tons of other mods and something not playing well so i'll wipe all of it except eve, scatterer and SVE before showing you. lol I don't play on 1.9.1 yet, except to goof off until the official releases hit. 1.8.1 looks much nicer in my opinion compared to my 1.9.1 on ultra simply because I have Kopernicus and OuterPlanets installed.

StoneWolfPC Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Well I had to verify file integrity on KSP, something borked. Anyway I got it back up and running, then found out part of my problem is SVE mod is being goofy. So I went with Spectra. HOLY VISUAL YUMM!!! But um....... what system slow down? What are you guys doing, I want to try to repeat it for myself, because.......... mine was running really really smooth. The only issue I ran into is that I can't load a kerbal as crew or it crashes unity. Not a mod issue so not posting about that here.......... here's the screens........... I'm going to tinker more and see if building a vessel bigger causes as big of lag....... but minimizing my mods from over 100 to 5 really makes a difference lmfao. I'm running: I7-7700k stock MSI gaming gtx1080 8gb ASROCK z270 gaming mobo 16 gigs DDR3 3200 Gskill Ripjaws V ram Corsair 500gb sata ssd 4g lte internet connection because I can't get anything else in this building. >.< It's not showing the image, so here's the gallery for all of the current uploads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animasola Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) If you play around, having the sun at the right position for the reflections, you get nice effects. But not gonna happen when you focus on getting your mission done. Most of the effects can be done with ReShade but it also works on the UI and it makes it almost unusable and/or annoying. So this is possible but not fun to play Edited March 13, 2020 by Animasola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh btw........ my frame rate does drop sorry, I found out I lied................. I compared it to my modded 1.8.1 with scatterer and no custom configs and EVE on 1.9.1............... 20 fps.......... with AVP 20 fps. My 1.8.1 fully loaded with over 150 mods............ 32 fps........................ no mods on 1.8.1 stable at roughly 80 fps with a lot of change too rapidly to get an average. 1.9.1 is slower but appears to be less jerky and laggy so runs smoother. Exiting time warp on 1.8.1 will freeze the game for a little while, a minute, or sometimes a second. But noticeable. 1.9.1 doesn't slow down more than a few seconds and didn't freeze at all. Unfortunately, I am having a random bug that keeps randomly booting me in 1.9.1 and it's rather irritating. No log showing exactly what caused it, so I do a fresh clean no mod install of 1.9.1, then it still does happens on a new save............ must be a new windows update or something not sure. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "workaround" barely works for most people. KSP runs like garbage on DX12, even on computers that can run any other DX12 game just fine.

Sepone Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) [SOLVED] sry Greetings fellow Kerbonauts! I am new to KSP and just started to use Mods, and I also get the "frozen Kerbin" glitch, but I downgraded my version to 1.8.1 using the Steam Beta option. The game shows 1.8.1, but our home planet still looks frozen (like in the menu pictures shown here). As I understand this shouldn't be the case. I even tried the config patch and forcing DX12, but nothing changed. Don't get me wrong, I can live with it if neccessary and I gladly wait for an updated version of Scatterer, but I'm confused if an update would even help when downgrading to 1.8.1 did not. Any ideas, maybe I do something wrong (I already deleted and reinstalled Scatterer after downgrading)? EDIT: Nevermind, after restarting the game again it solved itself. No idea why, loading took longer, way more pictures were showed, and a message above the load progress bar said something about updating (can't remember what exactly it said, it ended with "76"). Oh and ... great Mod btw, Kerbin looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the rest of Kerbol! Edited March 21, 2020 by Sepone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-T-B Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Hello all. Not wishing to step on anyone's toes again, I am formerly requesting Blackrack's permission to release a binary build of the following code, which enables Scatterer to work on the unified camera in KSP 1.9.1/1.9 and generally puts us in a better situation there. The work is not complete, nor will I be the one to complete it! I don't understand half of what is going on in scatterer and I do not pretend to. I just managed to cobble together something that works. It is presently lacking the following: 1.) Caustics and the new ocean effects are completely gone. I wasn't able to merge them without breaking some of the old unified camera prototype code I based this on. (the branch is here: https://github.com/LGhassen/Scatterer/tree/unified-camera) 2.) It still depends on my config fix (I'll integrate that if he lets me release it). PS: I want to issue full credit to blackrack for the code on this one, I just glued it together from his work by merging a bunch of stuff he otherwise would have had to do by hand likely. Here is the source. The following bits are really just for the dev, blackrack: @blackrack This is simply your unified camera branch built with all the most recent features (sunflares included) up to here: https://github.com/LGhassen/Scatterer/commit/7cadb9ae3ec13597452c6718f285a64f93c11b62 I was not able to integrate your core refactoring or caustics because I really have no idea what's going on in there with regards to the camera and was not comfortable guessing at it. The only commits after that integrated were: https://github.com/LGhassen/Scatterer/commit/2399fed1fa8c15d0eee57299e6fca73daee1b748 (a crash fix for the destructor) https://github.com/LGhassen/Scatterer/commit/ded126bd70f1aa0cfa3c53a706554a5a2830f074 (a sunflare thing) Nothing more was done except some merging of the codebases. Still, it is provided in the hope that it helps somehow. It DOES seem to work. And it took hours. So I hope it saves you some trouble! Here is the source, provided under your same license (GPL-3.0): Source here: http://glacialsoftware.net/scatterer-ufc.zip Let me know if binaries would be ok (I have them ready, and they'd log themselves as version "0.0542RTBDEV" for your knowledge. Take care and get to it when you can, just seeing if I can't help out while we all wait. This is all I can do though, my head hurts too much after this, you are a very skilled man to understand all that. -RTB EDIT: having host issues, standby. EDIT2: Should be good now. There does seem to be a bug where sunflares don't work right in actual flightmap... I'll see if I can't fix that later.

The only issue I've found is the mapview in flight lost sunflares. I'm working on it. it's a weird bug because I can make the sunflares reappear, but they seem to map to the inflight sun angle and not the map angle when in map view. Confused. I know, I should've made this a proper github pull request, but really... I wasn't expecting it to work. lol. Oh, and there weren't supposed to be binaries in there. Sorry, but I gotta scrub those until blackrack says otherwise. You can keep what you dl'd though I'm sure.

Oh, well all good then. I just figured I'd left the bin folder and checked and yep, I had. lol. This one sunflare glitch is driving me crazy, but it's still tiers more usable than dx12 mode IMO. Hope blackrack can weigh in soon. Edited March 22, 2020 by R-T-B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
