Kerbal Space Program Multiplayer

Choose a DarkMultiPlayer warp mode for a KSP server

Warp Mode controls how time advances between connected players. Game Mode chooses sandbox or another supported mode; it does not replace the multiplayer time-warp setting.

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and back up its Config directory and universe data.
  2. Record Warp Mode, Game Mode and Mod Pack Mode before changing the session.
  3. Use the supported Warp Mode values shown in Startup; the template’s default is SUBSPACE.
  4. Keep Game Mode and the current universe unchanged for this test.
  5. Start, connect two compatible clients and check how time warp behaves before a long mission.

Check the result

If players cannot join at all, resolve the KSP/DMP version or mod-policy error first. Changing warp mode cannot repair an incompatible client installation.
