Dram added a comment to T116174: Terrible frame rate in Test Area.

Hi, please try lowering Grass LOD in the graphics settings, I suspect that is the root of the cause here.

Let me know if it helps

Dram added a comment to T116155: Things to improve (needed badly).

Hi, the part failure rates can be influenced by the level of quality you choose for the vehicle parts in the rover lab. The default is standard quality, and you can choose high quality or low quality as well.

Either way, we are planning on introducing difficulty levels, so this will be part of it, whether part failures can occur or not.

As for time acceleration, that will likely not be entirely possible, problem is that with such a detailed physical simulation, you cannot increase the simulation rate all that much.

Dram added a comment to T116154: Mouse doesn't move camera appropriately..

Hi, do you have a joystick or any sort of controller plugged in? If so, try to unplug them, then start the game and see if it occurs.

In general it should literally take input from hte mouse, so that this kind of issue is occurring is very strange.

Dram added a comment to T116149: Landers (big) Sometimes don't achieve the EXPLORER feature in mission.

Hi, if the vehicle landing experiences a major error, it will try to land directly down, to at least save itself. In such a situation it will not land where it intended to, thus missing the explore waypoint.

There is a problem here that the part failures are too common, we will change that, making it a little more lenient.

So please try this again and see if (when it lands and does not complete the explore target) whether it had a problem with the thrusters in the vehicle's LOG tab.

Well I had exactly the same issue on my Fujitsu Lifebook, the issue seems to be related to Windows Aero theme. If it is set to windows 7 basic or something that is not transparent it seems to work fine.

Dram added a comment to T116139: Engine Error Crash Starting New Game.

Hi, looking at where it crashed it appears it was trying to update a hotspot of index -1, which is the problem. That may be caused due to pedals or something of the sort automatically pressing forward/back or side, hence hiding the cursor as well as it goes through the hotspots.

Do you have a wheel, joystick, pedals or anything similar plugged in? If so could you please try to unplug it before starting the game to see if it helps? Then we can further solve the issue.

Dram added a comment to T116101: Press any key doesn't work.

Hmm, that is very strange. There are two things you can try:

  1. Try deleting your game settings, which may have gotten corrupted perhaps? (yes, you'll have to set it up again)
  1. Try changing the 3D resolution scale from 1x to something else. I know it has been causing an issue here and there.

If none of those work, could you tell me if you hear anything when you see that screen? If not then I'd suggest try re-downloading the game, maybe something was corrupted on download.
