Win64* support and some performance enhacements have been confirmed for v1.1... All we have to do now is wait... :-) *this means memory increase

Gosh! For a moment there I thought we couldn't have animated gifs for avatars anymore! Other then that the new forums are looking good!

I never used the blog feature but was looking forward to start mine when the new patch rolled out... :( Oh well... So is life! :)

I think there's room for a KSP2 but I don't think we'll need it for a long, long, long time. KSP is good enough (or will be with the new U5 engine) to stand on its own two feet for a good long time. Modders can just revamp the game from time to time and the exercise of modding has become trivially simple with the development of CKAN. Between the enormous playground that KSP is on its own and the longevity that mods create I don't think we'll need a KSP2 for a while. But, eventually, computers will get better and there will be enough reasons to warrant an upgrade. So... Unless KSP 2.0 comes after 5-10 years I don't think we'll need a completely new game from scratch. Nor do I think it'll make much financial sense as this game will sell well on its own. I think squad could start to focus on some other IP and to develop DLCs and updates for KSP. After a couple of years of doing this they could focus on KSP2.

Damn... I didn't read the question (nor the description) right... I personally have no interest in Realism Overhaul. I understand it's appeal and I think it's great to see what people do with it but for me it hold no interest. That being said I would buy it if only to support squad and push them to release (even more) content for the game.

To be honest this is something that happens quite often... I think the save game system could be tweaked a bit to prevent this...

It'd be pretty cool if someone could make a mod that specifically adds a bunch of undisclosed features. Said features would make use of the current anomalies (and maybe add a couple of extra ones) to give clues for a big mystery (kinda like the chatterer mod used SSTV for example). The mystery doesn't have to be very fancy but it would be nice if it was great scavenger hunt around the kerbal system that had a nice finale. I've had this idea on the back of my had a couple of times and it was recently revived by this post. The thing is, a lot of mods add these easter eggs but it would be nice if someone made a mod that focuses on this exclusively.

Part of me is glad for the long development time of this update. A) a lot of incremental improvements! it gave me time to catch up with other games on my backlog (mainly prison architect). Keep up the good work squad. Take your time and please apply as many performance tweaks to this game as you can! :-)

LKO rendezvous otherwise I'd have to use 4 times as many engines

I've used AMD on my old computer (laptop with mobility radeon) and now am using nVidia on my current desktop. It still sucks, though... It's an old GTS450 but still it's a great upgrade from what I've had...

Lately I just use Champagne Bottle Lafitte... Only on truly important missions do I bother to come up with something of my own...

Hi everyone. This is a bit strange to explain but I'll do my best... KSP: 1.0.4 Windows 64bit (I know but bare with me) Problem: The game works fine for a while. For the first hour or so I only notice the usual problems of the 64bit build (building randomly showing as fully upgraded for example). After a while the game becomes very laggy. Everything works fine, the frame rates are stable but the thing is that whenever I try to click something (with the mouse, obviously) the click doesn't register. I have to hold the left mouse button down for like 0,50 seconds. After a while I have to press for maybe one second. And the time keeps growing. Everything still works OK but the mouse clicks seem to take longer and longer to register. After a while the game is barely unplayable and since loading takes so long (around 5min on a SSD) I just don't bother.

It happens with everything I try to click but seems more noticeable on the VAB/SPH. Log: The game doesn't crash so there's no crash log. System specs: I don't know if this is helpful but since it's a lowend PC it might help, still... OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTS450 (1Gb) MB: Gigabyte P35C-DS3R RAM: 8GB DDR2@400Mhz SSD: Kingston SV300 120GB (where KSP and Windows are installed) Now, I know (a) Win64 isn't supported, ( too many mods CAN cause issues and © my PC is old and slow. Still, it shouldn't have these kind of issues. The game runs just fine for a long while until these things start happening and other games run just fine. The reason why I'm posting this is because I'm not sure if this is, in fact, related to me using the 64bit workaround. The game obviously crashes if I try to run the 32bit client so I can't test it with these many mods to compare and if I remove some of the mods the problem might be an undiagnosed mod issue. Do other 64bit users have this problem? Does any 32bit user with mods installed have have these issues? Does someone with the linux 64bit version have this struggle? The computer itself is well maintained. I recently did a fresh OS install (when I upgraded to Windows 10) and I make sure to keep everything running smoothly. Boot times are fast and all desktop applications run without any issues. Any help is appreciated!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly as intended!! But mapping so many keys into this controller is challenging... Specially as I'd like to keep camera control while controlling the ship/kerbal... Thanks again!

I'm using the motionjoy drivers with the PS3 controller and it seems to be working fine. My only issue is to setup the triggers to thrust forwards and backwards. Currently, as I understand, the game asigns a function to an axis, in this case forward/backward on Z axis (for example) but what I'd like is to have forward thrust to the Z axis and backward thrust on the Y axis. This system works great for the thumb sticks but, sadly, it doesn't seem to work so well on the trigger fingers. Since they are pressure sensitive they work as an axis as well where 0 to 100 is forward and -100 to 0 is backward. But the problem is that since these are triggers they don't have a -100 to 0 range (only 0 to 100). What I would like to do is have one trigger thrust forward and the other trigger thrust backwards. This for RCS and EVA of course.

Well... I turned off a couple of unused windows services. It's not a lot but it's as much as I can do to keep everything smooth... I really wished windows had better automatic maintenance features like apple has... Thanks for the help, though!

To be honest I skipped windows 8/8.1 for the reasons everyone knows but I'm enjoying my experience with windows 10. As far as an OS goes it's at least as stable as windows 7 and I dare say a bit faster. What really gets me worried are all the smallprints on the EULA that make me consider switching to a local account and changing a bunch of privacy settings. That being said I think I'd move to Linux faster then I'd move to Win7. And that ain't happening anytime soon. I've used Ubuntu on my old computer for almost a year and although Linux has come a looooong way it still has a long way to go before I can consider it a worthy desktop alternative for a median user like myself. Do you have any good source for Windows10 tweaks I could check out? I'm not too worried about security as I don't think my computer's worth the trouble of hacking it. My focus here is more on performance while on my work computer I focus more on safety (bitlocker, 3rd party antivirus and firewall, etc). :-)

I've seen a couple of posts about this topic but none seems to answer my questions. I just got a PS3 remote and I've been meaning to use it on KSP. Specifically for EVA and docking (as those are two things that require more precision controls). The thing is, I can't seem to figure out how to configure the trigger buttons to RCS thrust forwards and backwards. What I'd like was to have the right trigger to thrust forward and the left trigger to thrust backwards (the amount of thrust depending on the pressure with which I squeeze the triggers). Does anyone have any idea how I can go around doing that?

Hi everyone. Can anyone give me a couple of tips to keep my Windows 10 PC running smoothly? It's running great now I just want to keep it that way for as long as possible... Here's what I've done so far: Uninstalled unused programs; Made sure to disable unwanted startup applications (like 'Adobe Acrobat SpeedLauncher' or 'CCleaner'); Cleared disk space with windows tool and then with CCleaner on both drives (HDD and SSD); Analyzed and cleaned windows and applications; Cleaned the registry with CCleaner; Ran checkdisk and defrag on the HDD (not the SSD); I only use Windows Defender as my AV software because, from what I've seen, it's both light weight and competent. Aside from what I've done so far does anyone have any other tip they want to share?

I personally think the game can't be considered 'complete' without a working win64 version. Aside from the persistent bugs the game has, for me what really kills it is bad optimization. I also think career mode could use a bit more love (as it seems to be the case with this next update). A lot of the issues I have with this game seem to be addressed in the 1.1 update so maybe now I'll be able to say it's 100% gold-status worthy for me. As it stands now I'd give it an 80% at best.

I think the next logical port is a VAB/SPH for iOS and Android...

Can't wait for this update! The new format does seem sleek and easier to read but, on the other hand, I seem to have less information from it. But maybe it's just my impression... I understand that it might be hard to figure out what's happening under the PhysX hood, but what I'd really love to know is if anyone at squad made/could make a simple benchmark. Have a heavy ship (300+ or 400+ parts) run in version 1.0.4 and 1.1 on the same computer (one with multiple cores and/or threads) to see if there is a/how much is the performance increase. If things run better I really don't care what happens behind the curtains... :-P Other then that I'm really excited for what wonders U5 can bring and the new parts and systems have me on my toes! This looks like a killer update for which I can't wait!

I've said it before and I'll say it again.... It's a singleplayer sandbox game with heavy support for modding. Nothing you can do would be considered cheating as there's nothing to cheat except for your expectations. Basically if you're having fun you're not cheating.* *Unless you're (a) playing on a multiplayer server and what you're doing goes against the server's rules or ( you're doing some sort of forum/reddit challenge and what you're doing goes against the rules of that challenge.

Regarding the required specs for this topic no... No it's not. On the other hand the surface is so massively overpowered that maybe the surface is the one that's not a "real" tablet...

Isn't this mod compatible with 1.0.4? It's not listed as compatible on ckan...

As far as I know mobile processors use the ARM instruction set which is in fact, different, from x86/x64. But considering the fact that it's so """easy""" to port unity applications to android/iOS I don't know how hard it could be to port the VAB. I mean... That's the point of using SDKs and APIs... To not have to talk with the CPU yourself.
