I realize that the problem is on the yet-to-release version of KCLV so I included the mod in the link. You may wanna delete all previous install of KIU and unzip the KIU file to Gamedata.

NaviG Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Hey @linuxgurugamer i've been reading about a bug in the page 12, related to using RealChutes with SR. I'm experiencing similar problems. When changing thrust limiter value (the dragable bar) or the combustible levels, it causes a huge lag and even lead to crash. I tried to delay SR calculations to 10 which is the max limit, but i still have lag after that delay passes. Do i have to select something? Everything else is working, it would be a shame to play this without knowing how much money i'm getting back Edit: I uninstalled because i cannot disable the mod with the option which is inside settings (it's not working, it still calculates after i disabled each option), i'll let RC auto-calculate, cause i didn't find a better chute model, the only bad thing is that it will use huge chutes but well, it's ok. Better than have huge lags and CPU usage spikes when dragging thrust limiter or loading new vessels into VAB. Should CKAN advise that SR and RC are not compatible or at least, u will have sttuter when using together in concrete scenarios??

Mimi Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Hi, I seem to have ran into a little bit of an issue. It's a very slight issue, but it is making my game a little unbalanced. It seems that the stage recovery mod is refunding full amount of money for fuel that my booster stages can carry... Despite all of it being burned up. Is this a known interaction with any other mods (I have a bunch of them...)? If not, can someone provide me with a tutorial on where to find those mythical "logs", which I assume will be needed to get any support in this case? Thanks.

Thanks. Welcome to the forums. Use a file sharing service, such as Dropbox or Google Drive, and upload your logs there. Post a link to those files here. Since log files can be very large, don't post them directly. Instead, ensure you demonstrate your problem with the minimum KSP run and quit quickly to keep the file size down.

Mark L Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Hi, I have a problem that has also been mentioned in this thread. It's when Stage Recovery and Real Chutes are both installed together, causing lag/stuttering in the VAB. I've tested both in a stock install with the bare minimum mods installed, and there is no lag with either or both removed. Now I know that doesn't rule out Real Chutes as the culprit, but it's no longer being developed as far as I can see, so I wondered if linuxgurugamer could kindly look at the log file please to see what's going on? To test, I loaded a basic craft with both mods installed, switched to 8x symmetry, picked a stock radial chute, then right click to rotate the camera. I repeated this with a Real Chute radial chute. Only the Real Chute produces the lag. It also happens with the nose mounted type if you try to place a few at once. Then I performed the same test with Stage Recovery removed, no lag at all, either with the stock chute or the real chute. Loading speed of a more complex craft file, especially with lots of chutes (Stock or Real) is also severely impacted. Turning off Stage Recovery in settings seems to have no effect, it has to be completely removed from GameData. Increasing the auto calculation speed to 10 seconds just delays the time for the lag to start, but then seems to be worse when it actually starts. Logs and videos below.

Only mods installed are Stage Recovery, FMRS, Recovery Controller, Real Chute, plus dependencies Click Through Blocker, ToolbarControl, SpaceTuxLibrary, and ModuleManager. Remove either SR or RealChute and the problem is gone. I've removed RC for now because it's not as important to me, but I would like to have both if possible.

linuxgurugamer Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 According to your video, you are getting the lag when you have a part selected, but not yet applied. Stage Recovery is doing lots of calculations, trying to keep track of all the chutes. What I see happening is the following: You select a part You then start waving that part around. Notice how, when you move the mouse over the rocket, it actually puts down 8 parachutes for a moment, then removes them It's that moment when KSP creates 8 new parachutes, and calls all the modules which are in each part. There are at least three modules in each RC part, so you now are initializing 24 modules, and then almost immediately destroying all those modules. If you don't have a fast computer, you are going to see the lag. Regarding Stage Recovery, it doesn't add any modules to the parts, but, it is doing calculations anytime the ship is modified. With what you are doing, I believe it is being called numerous times per second while your mouse is moving over the ship. Notice that there isn't any lag when the mouse is not over the vessel. The only think I can suggest doing is to increate the VAB Autocalculation delay a bit to try to avoid all the multiple recalculations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well probably in the first few versions I played... At least since version 0.24 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark L Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I tried it out once a couple of years ago in my stock career game and just decided I could do without, was trying to keep part mods to a minimum in stock. I'm just starting an RO/RSS career now and going all out on part mods haha. I only really need Real Chutes for scaling to smaller vessels anyway. I would use Tweakscale instead but it doesn't scale chutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can ignore those messages. From what I saw, the only issues you are having is the lag while you are dragging the camera around while having 8x symmetry AND moving the mouse over the vessel. So, just don't wave around a chute with 8x symmetry and you might be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark L Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yeah and like you, I can't disable SR in the options either, it still calculates in the VAB, so the only solution is to remove SR or Real Chute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nori Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I don't understand the backend code at all, but what I don't get is why SR has to calculated anything in the VAB while we are building a rocket.... Couldn't it just calculate when we hit launch or save or something? Or make it a manual button, or only do it every x minutes. Just some random thoughts. Whenever I load a craft the game locks up for about 15-30 seconds and it is SR doing it because when I changed the SR calculate delta time, I noticed the lock up would happen that much later.

There is a mode where you can see if there are enough chutes on each stage to do a successful recovery. When you change things (such as mass, etc), it needs to be recalculated. Load a craft up, and then click the SR button in the toolbar, it will bring up a window where you can see this info. Regarding calculating, it already only does it when something changes. Regarding a delay, there already is a setting to delay the recalculation, you can change it in the stock settings. The default is 1/2 a sec, you can increase it up to 10 seconds in the stock settings page. There are some other settings there as well which might be of interest, including a toggle where you can disable the mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
