Expected Behavior: That a craft is smooth on landing and remains that way even if it's moving or rocking back and forth and that autosaves are used sparingly.

(1000 parts and over) Video Evidence: The Following Videos are showing Save files that are a little above 1000 parts in Total Which When KSP2 Gets More Optimized People Will be Using Way More Than That.

Game will freeze for a moment on entering the atmosphere. Game will freeze for a moment on SOI change. This doesn't make for smooth game play. Didn't happen in 0.1.0.0 New feature from the 1st patch which is causing these problems: Quote Added feature: game autosaves when landing on a celestial body, when entering an SOI, and when entering or exiting an atmosphere Recommendations: Somehow determine that Kerbal's landing and rocking back and forth of crafts and rotating rovers are different from landing. Give the player the option to turn this on or off (turning off autosaves in the settings configuration file doesn't stop this new 0.1.1.0 feature) Remember that saving the game freezes the game play and that can be rather inconvenient. Somehow change it so that saving the game doesn't cause the game to freeze at all. Even 1/4 of a second is noticeable.

Fermentation Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I am also seeing the issue where the game freezes ( windows reports unresponsive app) when the autosave triggers. When doing an EVA on a planet surface, this problem has rendered the game nearly impossible, because I seem to be getting the unresponsive glitches every 30 seconds or so, and nearly every time that I jump my kerbal, when the kerbal lands on the ground or the ship. because It is making it impossible for me to get my kerbal back into the ship. In my case, the active ship was a very modestly side lander with a very modest part count, but I have quite a few other vessels out and about the solar system.

It's a game breaking bug to be honest, I had three 2.384Gb auto-save files after playing the game for about an hour and a half. As soon as I reached Duna it just broke, froze almost constantly for like 30 - 40 seconds at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is information out there to counter the increasing size issue. it's usually the same things spammed again and again so they can be removed. 2.384GB is a lot of text to remove though. Someone said it fixes the issue once all the extra stuff is removed but I am not sure it won't start happening again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 I just tested it. Removed spamming information from a 700mb file. Took me a few tries to get it right but now its 978KB and still loading. Not exactly simple to know what to delete though, and I am not even sure if I didn't delete some craft from the save unintentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You able to point me in the right direction of this 'fix' as the game is unplayable right now, as it grinds to a halt after about an hour to an hour and half with the same recurring issue.

Try this first. https://old.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/129k2lw/i_gained_1020_fps_with_this_simple_fix_in_ksp_2/ Make sure you back up the save you do this to first. Then straight after you have done it do a Quick Save then use the quicksave instead. I had a minor issue with this technique. The alternative is to use the following. Someone created this application but its slightly complicated to get working. look to the readme first: https://github.com/dbidwell94/ksp2_save_file_dedupe/releases/tag/v0.0.1-alpha Also back up everything before using this one. It will do it to all your save files. You could direct it to one save folder though if you so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing to back-up, I make a habit of deleting autosaves and stuff after I've done *a* mission to prevent the game breaking. But I'll give it a go, thanks!

Either that or I'm getting extremely lucky. Did a few separate saves and the max size of save files has been in megabytes. Is it fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_25 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 At launch natural perturbations in the rocket make the game think it is taking off and landing. This freezes the game up over and over during a critical time contributing to even more physics bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_25 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I had this happen on my first save loading on patch 2. Reloading an earlier save fixed it. It was an incredibly nasty bug using up memory, disk space, and even preempting the windows task manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bug is spamming autosaves thinking any little movement counts as a landing. Bigger the autosave the more obvious it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
