Do we have to beg for an update?

[nemuro976]

Just wondering, as 1 year passed and we only got a teaser photo and everyone over there is tight lipped.

[Razamanaz]

Yes.

[chollman82]

I think this is like "silent quitting" except it's silent cancellation. No reason to say anything and discourage whatever few people are still going to buy the game at some point.

As someone who is still on time for a refund, I've to admit that I'm indeed a bit discouraged.

I've just re-installed KSP 1 tomorrow, with Scatterer, Astronomer, TUFX and don't remember what else and... bud, it was ugly. I mean, really ugly.

I'm too lazy to post screenshots to use as evidences, but since we're talking about opinions, so emotional involvement and personal feelings instead of scientific facts, please believe me when I say that coming from the KSP2 bugfest only to see barren 2011 CGI landscapes, even with sexy shaders and whatnot, was an insta-stroke.

"Graphically" and "musically" (?) speaking, KSP2 is superior. Glitches, stutters and lags apart. There's not much we should say on that regard.

Also because if it isn't the case, KSP2 would be better than KSP1 in... well, I think in nothing.

But it's so shallow

Even the modders, at least using CKAN and Spacedock, haven't produced any mod that would make me immediately jump in game ('K2-D2' and 'Flight Plan' being lifesavers, tho, because it has been quite a long time since my last eyeballing of orbits for interplanetary transfers without MechJeb).

That's strange I literally just started a new KSP1 playthrough using KSRSS and a selection of graphics mods and I made a new topic here about how GOOD it looks... did you see that? I think it looks much better than KSP2. To be fair I paid $5 to access a Patreon page for the EVE Volumetrics mod which gives volumetric clouds and smoke... but it's worth it. It adds real dynamic weather on Earth and with the patch for KSRSS it makes Mars and Venus and Titan look SO GOOD! I haven't seen the other gaseous/atmospheric planets or moons yet but I'm very much looking forward to it after seeing those 3.

You can always re-buy it once we all find out if the Colonies update is what saves this game from being a failure.
However, if you're out of the refund window, and it turns out that's not the case, you're SOL.

[Burntout]

Yes.

[[BLK] Telu]

Yeah. Take 2 is not our friend apparently. :)

Ugh, yeah, I found your thread and I also found the issue - I messed with mods!

In fact, turned out that Astronomer Visual Pack conflicts with hi-res textures from RSS; also, I didn't install parallax and waterfall; and my EVE local folder were for an older version (CKAN should have update it, but still...) because I didn't manually remove KSP directory after uninstalling it last time.

So, to sum it up, I did a lot of mistakes, that now should be fixed.

I'm not really sure that the graphics is still better than KSP2, but surely I admit that now they are beautiful and definitely not ugly anymore

Thanks man, you saved my oldster gamer's life!

Mh, yes, I agree with your point.
Perhaps I should really apply for that sweaty refund.

The problem is "philosophical", tho: being the stupid but hopeful guy that help to subsidize KSP2 development, or simply adopt a practical and economically safer approach to the matter.

Oh well, I suppose that Intercept won't fix glitches and bugs (once I couldn't launch the same rocket that I mistakenly reverted to VAB seconds earlier because clicking on the "LAUNCH" button did nothing at all, dammit!) before the following 14 days, so maybe the solution of the moral dilemma is already here in plain sight.

[DRAGONART777]

yes and don't waste your breath wont be if even into 2025 colony. took a year to get this and look what happen.

I'm glad you fixed it, I know how bad things can look if you install graphics mods incorrectly or if there is conflict between them, I remember one time half the textures in my Skyrim game were giant red exclamation marks on a white background!

Oh make sure you use Scatterer as well, I forgot to mention it but it's pretty important to get the visuals I showed.

Speaking of Scatterer, does it still have the bouncy watter command pod bug when you return from another planet to Kerbin?

Maybe this Friday, as they sometimes do, they come out of nowhere with an update or news about next update, and set things straight.

is good friday a holiday in the states? I'm guessing they'll take a four day weekend, then spend the rest of week on meetings planning how to catch up from that. also another photo of the same colony model orbiting a different planet.

Not even that, the same photo is good enough for 3 more updates if you rotate and flip it.
This trick is coming from the inventor of the 4 days underwear, aka Al Bundy.
