Kerbal Space Program 2 developer, Intercept Games, has shared some of the important fixes that are set to arrive with Patch Two. The release date of the new update is yet to be announced, but Intercept Games will have more to share about it once the update is handed over to the QA team.
Patch Two is not going to be as big as the game's first update, which was released last week, but it will include some important fixes such as performance improvements that come as a result of GPU and CPU usage optimizations. The other fixes vary from in-game items like engine behaviors to new UI elements.
The full patch notes are yet to be released, but the developers did share a glimpse of what's to come. Below you can find some of the confirmed fixes for Kerbal Space Program 2's second major update:
- Fixed loss of vehicle on reference frame change when physicsless parts present
- Fixed flamed-out engines not restarting properly
- Enabled switching between vehicles in atmospheric flight (within PhysX bubble)
- Recovered Kerbals now return to VAB Kerbal Manager
- Gave click priority to planets rather than moons when zoomed out in Map view
- Struts and fuel lines no longer broken after cloning subassembly in VAB
- Fixed bug: vessels with no control deleted during save
- Fixed flowers on Kerbin
- Added "next" button to seizure warning screen
- Height fog added to all atmospheres
- Updated parking garage collision (now possible to enter structures)
- Various CPU and GPU optimizations to improve performance
Since its launch in February 2023, Kerbal Space Program 2 has been dealing with quite a lot of technical issues, which resulted in a rough launch for the anticipated sequel. The game currently has a "mixed" review badge on Steam, which is not even comparable to the original title's reviews.
Kerbal Space Program 2 will remain in the early access process as long as the developers feel it is not ready to be launched as a full game. The game's price will increase when it exits the early access phase. That being said, Intercept Games has planned a long-term roadmap for the game, promising many upcoming expansions, including a multiplayer mode.
