-force-opengl doesn't work in Fullscreen mode (0.90)

[thyriel]

KSP 32bit (on Win7 64bit) with -force-opengl is broken in Fullscreen mode:

That's what i see at the start screen. Window mode works fine, that glitch is only in fullscreen.

Use -popupwindow launch option.

This is a Unity bug, and OpenGL is not officially supported as a rendering option by KSP.

So that means squad isn't planning anything to support large amounts of mods on windows and just leaves us behind ?

64bit client isn't really working because of a unity bug, openGL support isn't given (despite the curiosity that mac and linux use it and are supported)... maybe it's me, but i'm missing here a bit of a perspective for the future of large mods...

I think you missed something:

Squad have nothing they can do about it from their side when it is a Unity bug. Gotta tell that to the Unity people.

For now, just run it on windowed full screen with -popupwindow, because Open GL still works with that.

If it is a Unity bug then why did it worked before 0.90? Honestly i can't retrace that statement.

[FenrirWolf]

I'm guessing they moved to a newer Unity revision that so happens to have that particular bug.

I didn't miss that, but just saying "uhm.. not our fault so we don't even think about how to solve it or maybe develop another solution to the RAM problem" seems just a bit like going the most easiest way to me... (and if you ask me, if i would pay a ton for an engine that has bugs that prevent me from doing things that the engine should be able to do, i would make unity responsible to get those fixed)

Disable fullscreen in KSP and add -force-opengl -popupwindow and watch heavily modded Kerbals in glorious fullscreen.

Still not an acceptable option. The graphics look horrible on my rig unless it's in full-screen. Also, the 3D Vision is disabled in window mode. And I can't run these mods without -force-opengl

Works again - KSP 1.02+

--force-opengl works again. mod heaven!

[Spacetourist]

Try " --force-opengl" with 2 minus signs instead of "-force-opengl", it's working for me on Win7 32bits, so it's probably usable on Windows 64bits.

if I remember correctly :

KSP 0.22 and KSP 0.90 need --force-opengl

KSP 0.23 to KSP 0.25 need -force-opengl

You can also try -force-d3d11

Not acceptable....? Pretty sure we're still in Beta.
