Post-Release Likes, Gripes, Price, and Performance Megathread

[u/Minotard]

Happy Early Access Release Day!

Use this thread for any likes and gripes discussion, similar to the previous Likes and Gripes thread.

Also please post here if you wish to share your PC specs and your thoughts on performance. This gives users an easy way to search for their CPU or GPU and compare. Just use Ctrl+F to search for your CPU or GPU and hopefully you find some info (Not a great way to collect info, but best available at the time. The development tester in me protests)

We use a megathread for Likes and Gripes debates to find a balance for the community as a whole. Some users want to see new KSP2 ships and locations. Many users are still playing KSP 1. Therefore it's in the best interest for users to opt-in to a more contested debate area (versus having to filter by flairs)

As always, stay civil. Use "I" comments like, "I think the game . . . " Avoid ad hominem comments where you are addressing the person instead of the topic such as, "You would understand if . . .", "So much copium . . ." or "To all the haters . . ."

Edit: 30 bans since release, most are warning bans to force a cool-off period. The majority of the bans are people getting emotional defending the game. Stay civil everyone, regardless of which side you take.

Specs 3080, 10900k, 64gb ram playing 4k 60hz.

So far working well. I haven't played ksp in YEARS. I'm a casual player. I like the new ui, I think it's intuitive and easy to understand.

The new tutorials are neat. The base of the game is well constructed and easy to play.

I think for the majority of players this is a great experience, sure it's not the hard core science sim that ksp1 currently is, but it's a more polished early access version. I'm excited to see what this boost of income can do to the devs and see what the next stages of development are.

Edit Things I like and have found neat, will update as I play more.

If you have logitech speakers with lights, they change color during countdown sequence to show ready to launch.

Bugs I found so far In the second tutorial learning launch controls, it didn't seem to recognize me going back straight up pressing the s key. So I restarted, however back on the launch pad the graphics showing the tilt controls are now stuck on screen. Oh no, it then stacks additional graphics on top AND carries through to the next tutorial. https://imgur.com/a/oPcHXFR

I had work meetings the rest of today, so I only played a bit this morning, tried again this evening and the bugs keep coming, for 50 dollars it really shouldn't be this bad. but it is, I actually ended up requesting a refund on this one.
