0.2.2.0

0.2.2.0 is a patch update to KSP 2 released on June 11th, 2024, which fixes a collection of bugs and performance issues. It also introduces new UI elements and removes the Private Division launcher. This is the current version of KSP2.

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 and 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

Added UI signpost when timewarping
Added notifications for when a parachute breaks in flight
Reduced the duration of the pre-launch countdown sequence
