Known Issues

Orbital Decay

Improvements have been made to address the issue and we continue to work on eliminating it completely.

Performance Degradation

While we have seen improved performance in many ways as noted in the Optimization section above, some players may see issues on GPU bound setups while in orbit around Kerbin or on the surface of other planets.

We are working to resolve this issue and if you see any change in your performance, please fill out a bug report through the link below.

Two small bugs I'm absolutely thrilled to see in this fix. Don't let anyone say that using the bug-reporter doesn't result in a fix!

Dude, I'm going to make some new bug reports this week!

Is this perhaps just copied over from 0.1.3 patch notes accidentally?

There's an issue with the EM-500 engine plate. There are only two attach nodes, one on the fore of the part, and one on the aft where the engines are supposed to go. There should be three more nodes to attach engines on that part. This issue has been present since v0.1.1.

all engines are surface attachable, so you don't need any nodes to attach them to the plate, that's a feature, not a bug, as far as I know

As your resident patch historian, allow me to present the statistics for this:

  Total items Community % of total
0.1.1 281 42 15%
0.1.2 173 36 21%
0.1.3 165 17 10%
0.1.4 81 9 11%

Patch 4 has less than half the number of fixes than the previous one did. Does this make it worse? Hard to say, since I would assume work on the orbital decay bug must have taken quite a lot of time and developer resources. Which is why the sheer number of fixes rarely gives the full picture of how much of an improvement a patch really is.

That being said, I have seen quite a few fixes for construction that will make my life a lot easier! Now to downloading it...

I've been wanting to, but have been waiting for this new patch. It's hard to hunt for things when you're not sure if you're barking at something that's already known or already been fixed. Besides, most of the bugs preventing me from getting further into the game had already been addressed. 

Now that we are past that and into the new muck, I'm very stoked to fly into the fires of krakenous glory.

Nice work.

But sadly, this problem wasn't improved in any way for me. I still have the same problem of decaying orbits at the same rate, as before.  I still can't put any probe in orbit around Mun or Minmus, because they will collide with the surface at the next revolution. This is still a game breaking bug for me.

As you allude two, I’d rather see them fix five game-stoppers than fifteen minor bugs.

I correctly understood that it was not possible to eliminate the performance drop, due to which the patch was delayed?

We identified and removed two issues that were slowing down the game but even after that, there is still a difference in perf between 0.1.3.2 and 0.1.4.0 that we want to keep investigating and fix in upcoming patches. It is not a general thing, some players might notice it and others might not but it is definitely there so we will continue looking for the changes that are dragging us back.

I found that starting a new save clears up a huge amount of performance problems, and for me I'm seeing an 60-80% performance improvement over Patch 2 on my 5800X + 3080ti. Still a lot of areas where I'm CPU limited (ie, vsync off, 1080P Medium 4xAA). 

Main thing that's bothering me is the SAS Mini-wobbles even when the ship is stable and not under acceleration, wasting RCS. No improvements on that front yet. Posted a bug report for the Camera (Auto) mode freaking out and jumping between views until you force it with 'V' key.

The phantom forces in orbit are still here, maybe not as bad as before, but I had a Mun low orbit or 9.5KM and 11.5km, and has degraded to 6.3KM and 13.8km after a few mins (and still going) so there's still something pushing me despite my speed being 551KM/s

It seems that not all bugs that were previously reported as fixed are listed in the patch notes. Devs forgot to write here or they are not corrected? For example bugs number 5, 6, 15, 20...

Number 5

1 hour ago, Intercept Games said:

:1437623226_rocket_1f680(3): Fixed: Normal SAS orientation maneuver burn at periapsis is inaccurate [1]

Number 6, it was wrongly classified and didn't make it to the patch notes. It is fixed.

Number 15, it was wrongly classified and didn't make it to the patch notes. It is fixed.

Number 20
