The playtest is now open. Welcome! Quick in-game surveys will occasionally ask what you think. Two clicks, optional, and they help a lot. Improved Auto graphics now aims for the best visuals your GPU can hold. If it feels choppy, lower the tier in Settings. If you picked a tier yourself, nothing changes. Hold to quickload, so a stray keypress cannot wipe your moment. VAB and flight control polish, fairing staging improvements. If something breaks Game frozen or stuck loading? Press Ctrl+Shift+F10 and send us the file it saves. Performance report anytime: Ctrl+Shift+F9. Windows says "An Application Control policy has blocked this file"? Tell us. It is our bug, not your PC. Linux: if it will not start, send us launch.log from the game folder. Have fun, break things, tell us everything.
