Bug Status [1/25]

[Intercept Games]

Heya Kerbonauts,

Welcome back to the K.E.R.B.! First up, BIG KSP2 NEWS! v0.2.1.0 arrives NEXT TUESDAY (1/30) with heat balance improvements, map UI updates, and many bug fixes!

Hope you're excited for that! We think reentry heating definitely feels better and we're looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

The table has been updated below on bug progress and some of these fixes are shipping with the patch next week. Don't have many updates past that!

One quick note: you'll notice that "SAS does not hold orientation during time warp" is absent from this list. As we've done before, we've decided to remove this one from the K.E.R.B. list to keep things moving, since we don't have any plans to work on this in the short-term. We agree that using time warp and SAS together during long maneuvers is a valuable goal, but this requires additional design and engineering work which is significant enough that it won't be coming soon. We'll share details on progress in this area when there's news.

See you next week!

Community's Current Top Issues: 

#	Bug	Status
1	No trajectory lines in map view	Partial fix being tested
2	Stage activation requires a double-click / double-spacebar pressing	Fix implemented and verified
3	Parts inside fairing heating up	Fix being tested
4	Incorrect "landed" status while in orbit causes trajectory to disappear in Map View	Reproducible
5	Rovers are hitting a physics glitch every 1000m from the Location of Rover Being Loaded into the Game with Disastrous Results	Improved, investigating long-term solutions
6	"Experiment" button shows available experiments even though the experiments have been done before	Fix implemented and verified
7	Upper atmospheres heat up and destroy parts far too quickly	Fix implemented and verified
8	Timewarp limit is too restrictive on some non-atmospheric planets (Gilly, Bop, Minmus...)	Reproducible
9	Illuminators (lights) do not function [Flicker/Blink for a second and turn off]	Fix implemented and verified
10	Landing gear blocked when it is not [also happens with other deployable parts]	Unable to reliably reproduce
11	Parachutes didn't deploy	Partial fix being tested
12	Control Surface Oscillation in Atmosphere	Reproducible
13	Broken DeltaV with multiple engines and/or with side tank attached [fuel tank placement order messes up dV calculations]	Investigating
14	For the difficulty of the LIL CHONKER mission, 35 Science as a reward is too low	Fix being tested
15	Resource Manager (RM) disallows re-placement of a resource in the Transfer list of the RM, creating duplicates in the parts list of the RM	Investigating
16	Dr. Keri Kerman repeating the first textbox on the Minmus discoverable mission debrief	Fix implemented and verified
17	A Kerbal on EVA Exerts a Force upon the Vessel	Investigating
18	Orbit decay still happening [Landing legs or certain parts interacting can cause it]	Fix implemented and verified
19	When Trying to Close a Fairing on a Part, it will Disappear Instead.	Investigating
20	VAB camera offset whenever middle mouse clicking on part after panning	Investigating

Note: this report is not fully representative of the work our team is focused on. This is just to provide insight into our progress on the most concerning issues to our community. Additionally, the lack of a status update does not imply a lack of importance or general progress - we just do not have anything to share at this time.

Hi everyone!   Just wanted to add that I've got a brand new role on the team reporting directly to me!    It's a QA Tools Engineer (SDET) role and encompasses the sort of work that was previously done by our software engineering team, that we're now moving into the QA organization.   Come join us to make some cool new tools, automation & frameworks for KSP2!

Excited for next Tuesday! Have a great weekend, KSP2 team

[Jaypeg]

Hell yeah

[chefsbrian]

Late friday deployment, bold move. Decent looking patch otherwise, good stuff.

[The Aziz]

grumbles something about docking

Nice to see several rows crossed off!

Rovers are hitting a physics glitch every 1000m from the Location of Rover Being Loaded into the Game with Disastrous Results

Improved, investigating long-term solutions

"Improved"...

I am NOT looking forward to the day when this is removed from the KERB due to "investigating long-term solutions".

"Improved: rover glitches now only every 1652m"

[mindseyemodels]

Are there going to be vfx improvements for reentry anytime soon? I hope the reentry vfx get improvements in the next few updates

Slowly but surely, we shall fight back the Beast!

Well done team glad to see the progress being made! Cant wait for future updates as we progress through the road map

my comment originally made no sense lol

[KerbalsRus]

Feels like it has been a year since the last patch 

[dandoesstuff]

AWESOME

[Alpha_star]

Good in general, though I am dissapointed seeing control surface issue *12 is still work-in-progress. Re-entry fixes are good because stuff in nowdays KSP2 just heat up too quickly: I have a blackbird which flies well in 0.1.5 but it would just explode at max speed after FS.

[Snips]

Mh, and not a single word about commnet and occlusion.

They've talked about this before (check the discord dev tracker) - iirc the plan rn, with all the other priorities, is to keep it as is until roughly 1.0

[Vortygont]

I'm really looking forward to new UI, I'm so tired of miss clicking in map view

[Sade]

Can't wait for tuesday, that's at least 6 items crossed from the list!

[NovaRaptorTV]

I'm hoping this bug will get fixed.

So I read this posting by Nate, and there is just "...it's definitly a thing we want to revisit, but as always we're have to balance multiple prorities." No statement that it will be coming after 1.0. And just a short but clear statement was all I wish for. Here - not on discord. And for a game, that aims to be a physical space simulation, it's sad that something like commnet and occlusion is a "maybe".

Oops, didn't fully read the KERB. I just saw that bug getting mentioned. My bad everyone!

It's not a maybe, they said the want this. The reason they gave for postponing is that they want to have some sort of visualization to with it to inform the gamer. It is this visualization that needs more time. That said, most KSP2 players today are pretty hardcore, so an option could be to just activate the occlusion and develop the visualization later.

_{(Don't know if you are aware, but your comments read quite salty and grumpy, a bit infantile, I'm assuming that this is just my interpretation)}
