Thanks SQUAD!!!

[SunburstMoon]

Thanks! Looks promising, will try my crash inducing crafts tonight to see if the problem is solved. 

[edit]So far so good, except in-flight performance seems to be a bit less fluid, as it was before the Hist. & Parts update. SPH/VAB are not laggy anymore although I did notice a little bug with the flag on the wall when switching between saves.

Good job guys, keep up!

I'm about to put it to the test.

Thank you and happy launchings!

Well I dont know what happened,  but this patch seems to have broken several things:

- frame rate lag in atmospheric flight is appalling

- wheels have no traction except on Kerbin 

- landed craft continually slide around on planets other than Kerbin. They continue to move around at 0.1m/s , making construction almost impossible 

- coupling or decoupling nodes sends the craft into convulsive spasms, leading to unavoidable destruction.

 

SQUAD - speaking as someone who has just doubled down by buying the DLC, this is completely unacceptable. You cant keep taking our money, and deliver us this level of junk.

 

Open a proper help desk, start engaging with us on the problem / bug forums, or give us our money back.

This update was nice. Thanks.
