KSP2 Release Notes - Update v0.2.2.0

Bug Fixes

Construction

• Fixed: Moving stages around in the extended staging stack is difficult
• Fixed: Duplicated wheels, wings, and decouplers connected to physicsless parts will occasionally fall off or cause the craft to disassemble when launching the vessel
• Fixed: Loading a craft file with parts surface-attached to other surface attached parts causes parts to show on the floor of the vehicle assembly building
• Fixed: Duplicating a stack in the VAB that includes a decoupler and an engine causes errors when launching the vessel

Flight & Map

• Updated parachute safety and destruction algorithms so that parachutes will not deploy in situations where they will immediately break
• Adjusted parachute default deploy pressures from 0.01 to 0.04 atm so they will deploy after reentry regimes
• Revised parachute drag numbers to provide a more consistent experience
• Fixed: Parachutes that are staged via the staging stack do not appear as staged in the Part Manager
• Maneuvers can now be created in the map even if a vessel shows 0 delta-V available
• Fixed: Using the Surface Teleport cheat to move a craft with landing legs extended can cause orbit lines to disappear
• Fixed: If a vessel is decoupled on the ground, launching will cause a permanent 'Landed' state, causing orbit lines to not be drawn
• Fixed: Fairings contacting their base plate after being jettisoned causes a permanant 'Landed' state, causing orbit lines to not be drawn
• Fixed: Using the Teleport to Rendezvous cheat from ground to orbit will cause a permanent 'Landed' state, causing orbit lines to not be drawn
• Fixed: Craft with landing legs, wheels or landing gear regularly clip into the terrain after timewarping
• Fixed: Fairings disable parachutes placed inside or near them, even after fairings are ejected
• Fixed: Fairings and cargo bays sometimes do not detect encapsulated parts correctly
• Fixed: If a vessel is recovered during the smoke sequence, the next vessel sent to the launchpad will auto-launch

FX & Audio

• Fixed: Smoke sequence VFX and SFX are missing after reverting to launch

Menus and Settings

• Updated game credits
• Removed the Private Division Launcher

Missions and Tutorials

• Revised Launch A Rocket and Out of Atmosphere missions to require players to land or splash their vessels for successful completion
• Fixed: The tutorial vessel overheats during the Atmospheric Reentry tutorial

Saving and Loading

• Added aditional autosave points during Flight gameplay

UI / UX

• Added a dedicated Recover Vessel button in the flight HUD
• Added notifications for when a player attempts blocked actions during timewarp or paused states
• Added UI signpost when timewarping
• Added notifications for when a parachute breaks in flight
• Reduced the duration of the pre-launch countdown sequence
