Explosion Lag

[Wetballs]

Hi. I haven't played KSP since 1.04, so I deleted my old Kerbal Space Program file and got myself a brand new vanilla install (Steam, KSP 1.2.2.1622, 64bit version).  The game runs fine except when I crash, the explosions cause crazy lag and if I hit hard enough, sometimes the screen glitches out all weird-like, as if I'm seeing both above and below ground.  They're not big ships either - just some stock ones that come with the game I used to test out the new KSP.  I don't remember KSP explosions causing so much lag, except when they were really big ships with a lot of parts, and I've been watching Youtube videos and seeing explosions that other people make and they look just fine. Of course I could just try not to crash, but the only thing that I'm really good at in this game is blowing up, so what would be the fun in that?

As I said, it's a clean install (no mods or STDs).  I tried updating my video driver, adjusting all my graphics settings down to the bare minimum, halting my anti-virus software (Avast), and sacrificing a chicken to the Monkey God, but nothing works.  I've searched for a solution on this computer deal, but apparently I'm the only one having this problem, so I came here because you folks know what you're talking about I guess, right?

 

Here's what dxdiag says I got...

Windows 8.1 64-bit

i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs)

16 gigs of memory

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (approx. total memory: 12143 MB)

 

And here's some rude photos of my sister (never used Drop Box before, so I hope this works...)

Thanks folks!

Mentioned turning off Avast.

I don't know about the explosion lag, but the camera shaking one I do know about: http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/14631

It typically only happens when you crash right around the KSC campus -- and apparently that bug may be exterminated in the copy of the prerelease that will arrive sometime around next weekend.

Thanks for the camera info!  As for the explosion lag, I tweaked some computer stuff and I think it's gone now.  Not sure if what I did helped, or if I just had bad luck that day, but things are groovy now.

It's because what is in movies must also be in games.
So when there are explosions everything must slow down for our amusement.

Troll mode off:

I experienced some slowdown through explosions but nothing that I would call anything drastic.
It usually annoys me on big vessels. But then the framerate was lower to begin with anyway.
