Re-entry effect causes massive frame lag.

[Strainborm]

Title says it all. When Mach effects or re-entry effect kick in, my frames drop significantly. If the game was running at 60 fps, with re-entry or mach it will run at less than 20, even with very small crafts. Please help?

Upgrading your GPU from "Cardboard with circuits painted on it" will help.

I can assure you than my computer is more than capable of running KSP at high fps. It is only when re-entry effects show I get anomalous lag.

Could you tell us what CPU and GPU you have? I also suggest to just turn down the Atmospheric Effects under settings as low as they go.

Are you running any mods? I've experienced weird slowdowns in situations that never gave me slowdowns before installing the mods.

Go to the Settings menu. This option that we need is also in the in-flight "settings" window.

Find "Aerodynamic Effects Quality" or something like that. It should be a "slider."

Move the slider to your desired setting, then click Accept.

If you accessed this via the game menu, not the pause menu, the setting may be under Video or Graphics.

Good luck.

I love how many people never release their computer specs when talking about performance...

Doctor my finger hurts. Dont look at it, dont feel it, it just hurts, fix it.

I have this problem too, and I just got a new GPU around the time 0.24 came out. It's probably the CPU, as all the effects are modeled depending on the speed and orientation of every part on your ship.

Well its either your gpu or cpu, provide both.

When I was in school a kid asked a question in class once and the teacher kicked his desk so hard the top came off. Oh wait he had fallen asleep.

To the op. If you want to avoid similar dumb comments. Post yer pc specs as well as if it is a lap top or deck top. Moar info you can give the better we will be able to help you.

This seems more like a support kind of question, and so, moved.

..And now Strainborn will never post in this Forum again, and maybe quit KSP altogether because 'The KSP community sucks', and all the goodness of his/her beautiful brain will be lost to us all, forever.

Man I hope we don't become all confrontational when multiplayer comes.

That was the only confrontational post, and i thought it was funny banter, if someone said that to me i'd just laugh and fight my case.

The guy probably didn't have a powerful system and was embarrassed, even though none of us could care less.
