<Althego> hehe
<XXCoder> i read that ksp2 isnt exactly getting good reviews
<XXCoder> 51% or so good
<packbart> better than EDO at its full release :)
<darsie> Is that comparable to when KSP1 released?
<darsie> KSP1 early acces
<XXCoder> dunno didnt buy it that earlyu
<X> I think KSP1 was in early release for years
<packbart> on my first test flight in KSP 2, the decoupler didn't decouple and the upper stage dragged an empty tank along
<packbart> I'll wait some more and play KSP 1 instead
<darsie> I have a kinda minimalistic office PC, 8 pin mainboard power connector or so. There was no graphics card power cable from the power supply, but on it's mainboard there were unoccupied solder holes for one, so I soldered one there. I wonder if it can supply enough current for a better graphics card.
<darsie> its*
<packbart> I hope your power supply doesn't burn ;)
<darsie> I have a 750 Ti now
<darsie> The single thread rating of my i7-3770 is still ok.
<darsie> Will KSP2-linux be available during early access?
<darsie> Well, I could get early access anyways, and wait till -linux gets released.
<packbart> it runs on Linux with Proton
<darsie> define proton
<packbart> but I don't expect a native release during ea
<darsie> Proton is a compatibility layer for Microsoft Windows games to run on Linux-based operating systems.[2]
<packbart> aye
<packbart> although the streamer I watched had fps down to 1. and 6 in the VAB
<packbart> I'm not sure how much translation Proton has to do
<packbart> so you already _can_ run KSP 2 on Linux if you want
<Mat2ch> It runs on Steam Deck so it has to run with Proton.
<Mat2ch> But I will wait for the Linux release as wel.
<Mat2ch> *well
<darsie> Will there be a notice before early access ends?
<Eddi|zuHause> Proton is Steam's builtin WINE-baed compatibility layer
<Mat2ch> darsie: most likely.
<Mat2ch> They announced a real release date for KSP back in the days
<Eddi|zuHause> Proton is the single best thing that ever happened to linux gaming
<darsie> :)
<Eddi|zuHause> i've sat here for like 10 years thinking "it would be so much easier if steam had builtin wine support" and then it actually happened
<Eddi|zuHause> also because of proton, no amount of free games can make me switch to epic
<packbart> I'll stick with Windows as a game loader for now
<darsie> I won't buy Windows.
<packbart> I didn't. It was included in the PC I bought ;)
<darsie> new PC?
<Eddi|zuHause> so you did buy it
<packbart> darsie: in 2020
<Eddi|zuHause> just you weren't given an option to not buy it
<packbart> well, I bought it as a game PC, so I actually wanted Windows on it
<darsie> There might have been an option to get a refund from Microsoft.
<Eddi|zuHause> who on earth would bother with that kind of bureaucracy?
<darsie> Free software enthusiasts.
<Althego> ms gets most of its income on enterprise products, normal people dont matter too much for them
<Eddi|zuHause> what does an OEM licence cost nowadays anyway? surely less than 3 digits
<Althego> same for nvidia
<darsie> Just never boot into the installed Windows. Boot from a Linux install USB drive or so.
<darsie> Otherwise you used Windows.
<Mat2ch> Althego: A windows license costs over 100 EUR... they make money with it
<Althego> they do, but they make more from things sold to corporations
<Eddi|zuHause> i don't think i bought a windows licence in my life.
<Althego> i did
<darsie> I haven't, eithe.
<darsie> I bought used PCs with Windows.
<darsie> Last Windows I really used was 3.11.
<Eddi|zuHause> i have win 3.11 running in dosbox
<darsie> Can I test if KSP2 runs or Proton for me before I buy it? Or get a refund within 24h or so?
<X> I've bought multiple windows licenses
<X> Like at least 5
<X> I think the most I paid for one was 35 USD though
<Eddi|zuHause> darsie: i'm pretty sure steam lets you refund, if you spend like less than 4 hours in the game, but i never tried it
<X> It's 2 hours.
<X> I just refunded KSP2 so I could buy it cheaper
<darsie> How does it get cheaper?
<X> I got it for 42.50 through GMG.
<Mat2ch> darsie: do you have a steam account?
<darsie> yes
<Mat2ch> Steam allows you to return every game under 2h of playtime.
<darsie> ok
<darsie> Taht's not much.
<darsie> How often can I do this?
<Mat2ch> Well, I wonder if KSP2 still runs without steam...
<Mat2ch> because KSP did :D
<Eddi|zuHause> it might have been 4h in the past but they reduced it?
<packbart> Mat2ch: I started the KSP .exe as usual
<packbart> no steam or launcher
<Mat2ch> packbart: with or without steam running?
<packbart> without
<Mat2ch> "The Steam refund offer, within two weeks of purchase and with less than two hours of playtime, applies to games and software applications on the Steam store."
<Eddi|zuHause> Mat2ch: that doesn't really answer my question
<Mat2ch> So you could by KSP, never play it, return it and still play it?
<packbart> hm. if you run it without Steam, they can't count your playtime
<Mat2ch> Eddi|zuHause: I only know of the 2 hours. Never heard about 4.
<Mat2ch> packbart: do you really want to know? I mean reeeaaallllyyy?
<Eddi|zuHause> dunno why i remember 4 then, but whatever...
<packbart> Mat2ch: well, my Steam reports "Play time: 1 minute". I opened the launcher once, closed it and used the .exe instead
<packbart> so yeah, you could probably cheat a freebie out of it
<Eddi|zuHause> well, that's a terrible deal, because you won't get any updates. on an early access game...
<packbart> although I didn't try moving the installation
<Eddi|zuHause> i can't imagine moving the installation is very difficult
<Eddi|zuHause> aanyway, i should probably invest in a new computer before buying any more games
<Eddi|zuHause> my current PC is from 2011 or 2012
<Eddi|zuHause> it's kind of impressive it's been holding on so well for now
<packbart> it's not very difficult. copy from the Steam library to another directory. I'll just check that it starts up
<packbart> that save games are now all in the same location could be more of a problem
<packbart> (granted, it was a questionable decision to save them with the code)
<Mat2ch> But it made it easy to have different installs with different saves
<darsie> Will there be multiplayer?
<packbart> it still starts when moved outside the Steam library. "[LOG 12:01:04.954] Command Line Args:C:\KSP\Kerbal Space Program 2\KSP2_x64.exe"
<packbart> darsie: probably. the decoders say that mp is mentioned all over the code
<packbart> path delimiters are hard. m) "Setting Plugin DLL path to: C:/KSP/Kerbal Space Program 2/KSP2_x64_Data\Plugins\x86_64"
<darsie> I wonder how that work with time warp.
<packbart> nobody knows, yet
<darsie> It snows.
<Eddi|zuHause> packbart: i'm assuming windows just accepts both delimiters nowadays?
<packbart> probably. or maybe Unity changes it before it tries to find any files. it was a log line from some Unity component
<packbart> "The Wwise Unity Integration is a collection of resources that allows the use of the Wwise Sound Engine in Unity games."
<Eddi|zuHause> i love self-referential descriptions like that
<Eddi|zuHause> "the X-Y-integration module is integrating X into Y"
<packbart> "[Authentication]: anonymous login success" - huh. ok.

<packbart> and yeah, not even Double Tap Brakes made it (so far) ;)
<raptop> apparently there's currently a mod to have custum flags
<Mat2ch> so now you need a mod? Not just place flags in directory?
<packbart> well they had to go with perfomance-improving buzzwords like data-oriented-thingies and addressable assets
<packbart> so you'd probably need to bake them into a bundle first
<Mat2ch> This is utter nonsense...
<Mat2ch> A system call you make once for a small set of data is not causing noticable slowdowns.
<packbart> hm. I don't think so, tbh. KSP 1's flexibility was rather unusual ;)
<packbart> anyway, we'll see. I reserve judgement until the release
<Mat2ch> I start to doubt the expertise of the current developer team.
<packbart> KSP 1 will be the most complete KSP for the foreseeable future
<SporkWitch> there's a logical reason to not have native custom flag support: multiplayer. Streaming custom assets like that not only creates potential for liability, it can also be a security risk, and a performance issue.
<SporkWitch> of far greater concern is just how bad the current maneuver planner is. Doesn't give you the stats of your predicted orbit as you're adjusting it, and you can ONLY use the stupid pull-tabs to adjust it; don't even get started on trying to move the burn itself. Just took me like 10 minutes of fiddling to get a minmus encounter, where using the maneuver window in the bottom left it normally takes
<SporkWitch> less than 1
<SporkWitch> maneuver planner UI/UX improvements are slated to be coming quickly, though
<SporkWitch> right now, it's enough i think i'll be sticking to rovers and aircraft until it's in; just too frustrating to use the maneuver planner as is. That said, game's still a blast, and absolutely beautiful
