Orbit lines not visible zoomed out

[Willbl3pic]

I guess this video explains it:

I am Running Linux 64 bit version without steam on Ubuntu 14.04.

Nothing appears in debug log.

What I've tried:

Updating from 1.0.2 to .4

Removing all mods

New save

Turning Anti-Aliasing off

Resetting Settings

Hi Rocketmaster, please upload the logs anyway just in case, and please provide your system specification, a hardinfo report should be enough.

Well this is interesting, you have virtualbox modules loaded, I never managed to get KSP to run in a VM but Linuxgurugamer got it working in VMwarefusion.

So I'm wondering if this might be a graphics driver error, and it can't handle the transition from the close-up orbit lines to the ones it uses further out, different shader maybe.

Can you try the open source driver with the VM? See if the lines work, though KSP may be too slow to play that way, if that does work there may be a newer (or older) version of the current driver you can try.

Failing that, you might want to give VMware fusion a go as it'll use different drivers to communicate with the host graphics card, or try a dual boot instead.

I'm not in a VM.

That changes a few things, though it's still worth testing the open driver by uninstalling the proprietary driver and rbooting, and also trying the updated AMD driver which is up to 15.7 now and is available as a .deb, so can easily be installed using Ubuntu software centre or my preference, GDebi, which can be found in the repos.

Also, if you have changed any of the default Catalyst settings such as anti-aliasing or forcing mipmaps, try disabling them.

When fiddling with Catalyst settings, I decided to update Catalyst completely. IT WORKED! I can't explain how happy I am now that I can actually go interplanetary again. (not that I'm very good at it... (weird that I've had the game since 0.8 and yet I have only been to Duna, Eve and the Kerbin moons!))

I'm glad it's fixed

Have fun in space!

[Willbl3pic]

Broken again, it just started when I presed tab on map to focus on Kerbin. :/

[sal_vager]

Have you changed any settings, in KSP or Catalyst, since you got the lines working again?

[Willbl3pic]

No. ​ ​

[sal_vager]

Okay well you had them working, and the lines do work for other people, so we need to find why they do not work for you, can you post your catalyst settings please.

Please delete your settings.cfg and try starting KSP with "LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86_64"

ok (5chars)

- - - Updated - - -

wait, how do I start it with "LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86_64"? I'm not on steam, and I use the 64 bit binary anyway.

[sal_vager]

You can do this via the terminal, it's easiest to just open a terminal in the KSP folder and paste that line into it.

Or you can make a script containing this.

#!/bin/bash
cd "/path/to/your/Kerbal Space Program/"
LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86_64

And make it executable.

It'll start KSP and force it to use the posix standard for language, some system languages swap the , and . causing all kinds of issues.

[Willbl3pic]

Doesn't help

[Willbl3pic]

Well, according to the latest dev notes, the whole 'what happens when you zoom in or out of the map' thing is being rewritten, so it should work in 1.1!

[sal_vager]

I really hope so, though it should be working now, it's baffling :/
