swags____malonca Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) When staging sometimes parts like to stay attached to the main rocket, this also ties with the camera drift bug where the camera drifts away from the rocket as the glitched part moves away from the main rocket and the camera tries to follow. (here a winglet has stuck around after 2 stages and is causing the camera to drift) I currently work around the issue by time warping to stop physics before the camera to drifts too far EDIT: here is said camera drift Edited February 27, 2023 by swags____malonca More information / spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazooka Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I had this yesterday when deorbiting to Kerbin However I didn't stage, my ship just randomly split up and did this weird camera bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) I have also run into a similar issue but managed to get around it by separating engines and couplers in the staging. This works for me and stages the part correctly This is broken for me and when I stage, the coupler detaches but the rest of the stage remains attached Edited February 27, 2023 by Spanky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClashofCraft972 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Yeah this has happen to me in to cases : My rocket has changed state (activate a decoupler or a fin fell of Loaded a quicksave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alrecenk Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Same issue, sometimes when I stage my camera will track the center of the debris and the actual craft until I can't see anything. The orbit path in the map view also does nonsense things when the parts are moving in different directions. Thanks for the workaround, I'll try that.

Alrecenk Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 The workaround did not work for me. When I separated my stages to not contain both engines and decouplers I still had a slightly different but equally annoying issue: my camera will now track ONLY the debris on that ship. Going out to the tracking station and reselecting the ship brought me back to here. Something intense seemed to be happening to Jeb in the portrait, but I have no way of seeing it.

CouchNinja Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 This happened to me when I was landing my vehicle on the Mun. About 30km above the surface, the camera started drifting, by the time I'm landing, the vehicle is out of site. This might be caused by parts drifting away from the vehicle. I've noticed the vehicle fin started detaching and drifting away from the vehicle, but it is also still part of the vehicle. If I speed up the game and slow it back to a pause, the fin is attached to the vehicle but begins drifting away from the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveNeill Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I have the same problem. It started yesterday after 3 days of using the program I bought last week. I was designing my own Mun space craft for my early efforts to reach Mun and orbit. At first I thought I had my staging incorrect. But after an hour of trying to launch with the same results I decide to use one of the Kerbal ships that come already built from the database. Same results. so I ignored the problem and was still able to make orbit. After switching to the map view and back again the stages were separated and drifting away as they should. I also tried rebooting my PC and restarting the program. Still it persisted. I'm sure this bug will be attended to in the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i dont know how to forum Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I was having this regularly happen with my rocket, and I think I finally found part of the cause (for me at least): jerk. Sudden change in acceleration. My tail fin would break off (but still be considered part of my craft, leading to the bug) when I pressed Z to activate my main engine once out of the atmosphere. I tried holding shift instead... and it didn't break off. Pressing X to stop thrust also made it break off, but holding ctrl didn't. It's a very irritating bug, but holding shift/ctrl instead of using Z/X seems to work for me, and hopefully it helps others too. Out of curiosity, does this bug only happen with the procedural wing/fin parts? I'd be interested to know if it happens with other parts for people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveNeill Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Last night even flying the prefab Mun rocket I couldn't get a launch. Things just weren't working right at all. I re-booted and still the same. Tonight it may work correctly again. Two days ago it was all working well and I made orbit with my self designed Mun ship. I was hoping last night to orbit the Mun. No dice. The launch button or window in the lower right hand side was just black. No green go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demog Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Hi, i have the same issue. Now i did try to dont put decoupler and engine in the same stage and install wings/stabilizer on boosters instead of main fuel tank. I made 2 attemps landing on eve and the camera it works perfectly. will it work or will it be just a coincidence? we will never know Sorry for my bad english, i hope to help in some way, because this bug ruining the game for a lot of people.
