Saving & Loading Having More Campaign Saves Drops FPS In Game

[Stephensan]

Reported Version: v0.2.1 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes 
OS: Windows 11 | CPU: 7900x | GPU: 4070 ti | RAM: 128 GB

 

rather a random bug that it seems that anth cannot replicate, and i just wonder if its one of the many bugs i just find that decide to start that has no real cause.

Bug where I add more campaign saves I lose fps inside the game, anywhere between 10fps down to 2fps difference

i doubt a lot of people have this issue, or even know of this bug.

this is Campaign saves, when you start the game, you go to singleplayer, and you see all the singleplayer saves, they call it Campaigns, auto saves is prob an issue aswell.

Gotcha @Stephensan sorry for the confusion. I only run 1-2 campaigns at a time so I have no experience with that. How many campaigns have you noticed before performance is an issue? 

The auto save issue I’ve noticed is when 6+ auto saves start to pile up, with performance dropping further with each auto save. 

not sure if it’s related, but when you delete a vehicle build within the game, I have noticed that it keeps files within the games folders. This is true for vehicle auto saves as well. The folder just keeps piling on more and more information. These do not disappear until the campaign itself is deleted.

i had about 16 campaigns and about 5.6 GB of storage and 5,977 Files, 32 Folders total..

 

so didn't really know until i was having an issue of a single save was like actually locking freezing the game/instant crashing/lag and finally BSOD-ing my computer is when i wiped it clean

Anth has already tested it and said he couldn't replicate, but  i think its a more of an issue of most saves was/had been well played and had like 100's of quicksaves

it needs to be investigated more, cause i have HAD better performance all around. if you watch the video that is my performance difference its like actually insane.

I've been noticing a framedrop when I quickload. It would make sense if it was this, since quicksaves and autosaves are all included in the list. Must be hundreds of them by now.

Anyone know where the saves are located in the file manager? It'd be a hell of a lot faster than going through the menu and deleting them one by one.

Assuming Windows:

C:\Users\(you)\appdata\LocalLow\Intercept Games\Kerbal Space Program 2\

And you have to go to “great lengths” to force it off of C:\ if you happen to have an even higher-performance drive devoted to games

Much Obliged. Turned out I had almost 800 quicksaves stored up in that campaign.

Workspaces are there too. Means when i start a new campaign for Colonies, I can bring my already tested craft over with me.

@stephensmat maybe it’s all in my head, but after using Windows’ “MKLINK” command to route that folder from my C: (SATA SSD) to a higher-performance NVMe SSD, I feel like saving and loading is a fair bit snappier (but that maybe had to do with not-KSP2-processes unavoidably running at the same time, like Backblaze automatic backups)

Umm… those aren’t necessarily the same thing.

• Windows and (by default) Steam install on C:\

• KSP 2 ‘player data’ (workspaces, campaign-saves, etc.) are also on C:\

• Even if KSP 2 is installed on another drive (call it “G:\ for Games”), that player data remains on C:\

• If however your C:\ is that high-performance Samsung drive, then yeah, you “should be fine”
