Solved Transfer Planner window is inoperable

[Siddarth Niranjan]

Game Version​

This is a common occurrence across all versions that I have downloaded from .3759 to the latest version .5261

Operating System​

Fedora Linux 43, Workstation Edition

What Happened​

I am having an issue on Linux on my 1080p monitor, where my transfer planner window shows up like a static image on the screen, it cannot be moved by dragging on the window and clicking on the buttons or anywhere on the window does not change that, and shows the log message, 'Swapchain created by 3 images.' There is no other information regarding the error in the logs. This also occurs with the flight computer debug window.

However, I think that this is a windowing issue because I once tried this on another system which had a 1440p monitor, and the transfer planner worked just fine. Windowed mode or Borderless mode does not fix this issue, only difference is that the log message, 'Swapchain created by 3 images' does not show up.

Reproduction Steps​

1. On a 1080p monitor open up the game
2. use the keyboard shortcut or the view menu to open the transfer planner.
3. the game hangs for a few seconds and then the transfer planner appears, only now it is unresponsive to the mouse and shows up as a static window.

Reproduction Rate​

always occurs on my 1080p monitor


I hope that this can be solved soon.

here's a screen recording showing what happens, it might be a bit unclear what is going on as the mouse cursor is not visible, but I was trying to show that nothing happens when clicking on it or dragging the window around. The file is too big to upload, hence the discord link https://discord.com/channels/1260011486735241329/1439307327797858444/1537436079370670202.

please let me know if there is any way to fix this, or if this can be fixed by the devs

Have you tried running the game with the -fixed-viewport launch argument? That's helped me with a lot of pop-out window related issues.

 

[Siddarth Niranjan]

how do I do that?

how do I do that?

Run the game via ./KSA -fixed-viewport.

This should be fixed after the next build.
