Max Physics Delta Time per Frame

[Moesly_Armlis]

This is a workaround increase performance.

The issue is the max physics delta time per frame is being changed when using physics time warp and not returning to the value set on the main menu settings page.

Use physics time warp to increase performance. At 2x there is some increase but at 4x the increase nearly doubles.

The performance increase physics time warp alters and increases the MPDTF to a value less then 0.03 at normal 1x warp and the game is stable and remains changed after physics time warp returns to normal.

Switching vessels or returning to KSC does not change performance and reloading from saves needs testing MPDTF and resetting the value on the main menu settings page will reset the max physics delta time per frame.

edit:

This is the work around to prevent alteration of or reset the max physics delta time per frame.

After testing it seems this is a bug because the value for max physics delta time per frame is being altered and can only be avoided if the user never physics time warp. To reset the value it must be done from the main menu.

To prevent max physics delta time per frame from being altered the physics time warp can never be used or use 0.08 for the MPDTF.

If the physics time warp is used the user would have to return to the main menu and change the value and apply and change it back to the desired level and accept.

I have tested on a stock version KSP 1.0.4 with similar results.

edit2:

The KerboKatz SmallUtilities can easily demonstrate this bug. Any value lower than 0.08 for the Max Physics Delta Time per Frame will be increased after using physics time warp.

The value for the Max Physics Delta Time per Frame is located just to the right of the MET

No, the ratio only goes up because the physics speeds up (and the accuracy and FPS goes down). That's what that percent's showing.

The performance stays and I have improved play and less lag and this is after time warp returns to normal.

Before I have yellow performance at time warp normal.

I can fly that vessel and it stays in yellow.

Restart the game and before take off the physics time warp is increased to 4x then return to normal time.

After I have green performance at time warp normal.

Flying, driving or whatever is vastly improved.

Did you look at the album?

It may sound magical but for some unknown reason this works.

Edit:

Here is a link to a video recorded in a stock game.

Maybe this should be copied over on the stock support.
