Hey Akira, I want to thank you for responding to my question. I know its been roughly a week (I'm terrible at keeping track of forum posts), I invested a lot of time researching potential causes of my game crashing and ultimately got it to work. Once I popped Active Texture Management in there, everything started up like a charm (after a lengthy load process of course) and have since added a number of other mods to enhance my gameplay. As a result, I've been spending a lot of time playing and trying to master kerbonautics. Slowly but surely I've progressed, at times with a very high risk of causing sudden traumatic hairloss. The mods I have added I ensured were compatible with .24 prior to booting up and those that did not specifically call-out the version, I tried to dig through comments to see if someone else asked and answered the question of compatibility. Lastly, the lengthy process of booting up the game with the new mod added (1 at a time) to make sure I know which mod broke what (if at all) and I have had no issues! I purchased the game via steam and suspect it loaded the most up-to-date version of .24 but I'm not entirely sure how to determine whether its 32 or 64 bit. Am I just not seeing a tooltip or menu or something somewhere?
