I've got a 2014 intel integrated GPU which handles fine. Like has been said, volumetric clouds and the ocean shader will jank your fps pretty bad, but the scatterer shader itself is pretty low-intensity. If your computer can't handle that alone, I suspect there isn't much you really could improve without hurting FPS Expand Well that's odd. My integrated GPU is from 2016 and its doing worse than your 2014 integrated GPU. Let me try disabling those two things again. The last time I tried was some time ago, so maybe things have changed, or maybe my memory is just bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that there is a very sizable amount of lag when on the surface of Earth (I'm using RSS) but in space, the lag is pretty much non-existent. Could I possibly delete the shaders that produce the atmospheric effects on the surface, but keep the shaders that produce the effects seen in space? If so, what shaders would I have to delete? Expand I also think you might have some other issue if your game lags so much. Post your output.log file. Anyway, I guess I will make the postprocessing and all the other features togglable from main menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebs_SY Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Hello, I am trying to find the cause why the Space Center has random heights / is sunken sometimes... Please see also this post. I heard that could be a Scatterer issue. Could that really be caused by Scatterer? I cannot really think about a logical connection. But... even Scott Manley has the sunken Atlantis KSC Feature. see here... Already tested: REBUILD OCEANS doesn't fix THIS issue.

It sems to happen when you come back from "outer space" to the KSP. At least I'm pretty sure it is a Scatterer issue, as without it I never experience this polar melting.

Expand It's probably related to how KSP handles it's flying origin and coordinate system differently in space center view, may need to change something in scatterer. If I figure out the issue I will fix it, however I don't consider it an important issue since you can still see and click the buildings through the water. Also, it fixes itself on a scene change most of the time, and well... who spends more than 2 seconds looking at KSC anyway?

Jebs_SY Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Well, yes. But I have to say that on my highly modded KSP install the issue occurs really very often (I would say 50%+ chance when I come back to the SC (from a flight scene?)). If the KSC is to high, it is no problem. If it's Atlantis again, it kills the immersion and on the same time one feels like one plays a sh***y installation and it generates a subconscious bad feeling of something wrong. So I think it is more important that one may think in the first place. However, this shall not be a request to fix it, I am happy that we have a working scatterer and I can live with it. Only want to say, it still is nice, if it's getting fixed. If one wants to reproduce it for analyzing, I can upload my gamedata folder. @blackrack Do you know (for sure) if it is caused by scatterer? Or does it maybe need scatterer and something more like Kopernicus in combination? I would try to go ahead in investigating, as far as I can.

The White Guardian Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 @Jebs_SY @blackrack I have this issue too occasionally, the KSC being submerged. I only use Kopernicus, KittopiaTech and the mod I'm working on at that time. I have found that it seems to occur mostly when moving to the Space Center view from outer space, ergo, when KSP has to load the planet Kerbin because it had been unloaded due to distance. I recall the first time I saw it, I reverted and the place was underwater. I burst out laughing and said 'well, that looks fancy!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro753 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 @blackrack Did you look at my post on the last page? Nothing I've tried has fixed it, and it is rather annoying on all IVA SSTO missions.

I then installed Scatterer from spacedock to see if the SVE cfg files were the problem, and the issue was there again.
