Official v0.17 Release thread

The biggest issue is IMO this "space Cthulhu"; the ship exploding unexpectedly when you leave the highest level of warp. Right now, it's practically a showstopper for interplanetary missions. I can fix an underpowered ship by attaching more motors, I can't really fix a ship that explodes unexpectedly x(.

Use the keyboard to control time accel, never jump immediately from 100000x to real time. The engine was not built for that, really... "decelerate" quickly but smoothly and you won't have problems.

Not having 100% success even with that, plus it kinda rules out using MechJeb for orbital transfers. I may do some more experimentation when I have the time.

If it is indeed the case that it's just due to changing warps too quickly, perhaps the devs can enforce a delay between attempts to change the warp.

Odd that it only happens when you're doing the maximum warp, though. I suspect it's really the case that something else is wrong in the code.

After checking out IVAs, I now know why Jebediah is never freaking out like the other two: He doesn't have a window to see the impeding doom

I really want to do IVAs but everything lost it's transparency! Does ANYONE know?

An update on my stability issues...I was able to make it through the Orbital Tutorial smoothly after changing from full-screen to windowed (though it's still de facto windowed thanks to the -popupwindow switch), and setting the shortcut to run in Administrator mode. Might be worth trying for any other users who started getting crashes and freezes with 0.17.

Disable Fallback Part Shaders in the options menu.

are jets supposed to not work on alien planets?

hi...I was running 0.16 just fine on osx Lion (i7 with 8gb ram), but I decided to remove that version and start clean with 0.17. The problem is that 0.17 will not launch, the icon just bounces in the dock and then disappears when I click on it. I installed MonoFramework-MRE-2.10.9_11.macos10.xamarin.x86. I have also tried to launch 0.16, but it exhibits the same behavior. I didn't have to go through any special steps when I purchased and installed 0.16 so I am confused as to why a celan install of 0.17 does not work.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I searched the forums and google, but so far have come up empty (but it's possible I missed something). Thanks.
