Why does ksp lag

Some mods can cause lag. Are you using 'Mapsat'? Make sure its all turned off during launch or it causes major lag. Dont turn it on until in orbit around mappable planets and moons. During launch there is a lot of calculations, so it can be slow even on the beefiest computers.

Especially higher part counts. So much so that the game will go into slow motion so it can do all the calculations. The one physics setting, 'delta time something or other' set at by default, is part of that system. If you changed that, it could be the reason for your lag problem.

Sliding it all the way right will help reduce lag, but its almost all the way to the right by default.. So it wont help much. If you slid it left at all, that will put even more stress on your PC. Lastly, other programs running can cause crashes and slow-downs.

Game and messaging apps, etc. If you have stuff turned on, try playing with it off. See what happens.. OK I have the delta time changed to 11 or 12 but I dont see how it lags if I can play skyrim with nearly no lag! Jasonf Afficher le profil Voir les messages. Pixel Light Count Set the maximum number of pixel. Pixel size depends on your screen resolution.

Pixel lighting is calculated at every screen pixel. More info. See in Glossary lights when Unity uses Forward Rendering. By default, the lights are set to Auto. In Auto mode, the lights are prioritized by intensity and distance from the object. The number of lights that will be set to a Pixel light is determined by your quality settings. Forces KSP to use the experimental Vulkan stack.

It attempts to simulate real-life rocket science on a reasonably realistic level. But since Kerbal Space Program is rooted in real physics, things get hard. The game calculates a LOT of stuff all the time when you play. There are three options, 2x, 4x and 8x along with Off. The higher you go, the more performance hits you take, so I prefer to leave mine Off.

When there are too many parts in the current scene, the framerate will stay normal but time will slow down instead. That should make the game more playable in these situations. In flavours of 0, 2, and 4, they basically change the resolution of shadows. How do you reduce lag in KSP? How much Delta V do you need for Duna? What is symbol average? What does U and upside down U mean? Geonovast Posted February 24, Just now, Gargamel said:. Earthlinger Posted February 24, MeepTicoMeep Posted February 27, Posted February 27, edited.

Do you think KSP graphics are handled by magic or something? If a gpu is present, KSP will use it to lighten the processing load of the cpu. MeepTicoMeep Posted August 22, Posted August 22, edited.
