Pretty severe lag in atmosphere after patch


Recommended Posts

Heya! The graphical side of this patch is excellent! Well done. However, it now seems that aero forces lag the game as they increase.

I have a 180 parts shuttle+rover that I intend to send to duna. Last night before the patch this lag did not happen. Now it's pretty severe I'd even argue unplayable. 

I'm sure the high part count has some effect to it... but it worked fine yesterday lol. Most of those parts reside in the cargo bay in the form of tanks and various structural plates to create relatively realistic cargo. And a rover. 

I've included a video that shows it pretty well once I reach +- 280m/s.

Zooming in/out seemed not to have any effect. Maybe the parts inside the cargo bay are somehow subject to physics aswell by accident? 

Edit:

I have tried starting a new save, build a new shuttle with similar cargo and I launched it without external tank. Lag still happened at roughly the same time ( 280m/s+ ).

Edit 2:

Lower part count prevents lag from getting too severe but the performance drop is still there. 

I also messed with a prop engine, it seems that collisions taxes the cpu/gpu more too now. But it may also be due to (bad) bearing design. I'll recreate a vtol engine set up soon to find that out.

Yep, same for me.
