Windows 64 bit community workaround

[WWEdeadman]

So, I actually put up a little video showcasing the 64 bit version with heavy modding:

So, this runs without any problems and without any RAM use reduction mods, at over 6 GB RAM use at all times. Haven't had a crash, haven't had a major bug, only minor inconveniences.

Did you get Realism Overhaul working with it? Wondering if anyone is using Real Fuels with x64 either.

Mind listing your mods?

Haven't tried realism overhaul or real fuels. As for mods I had running in that video:

-Toolbar

-Better Buoyancy

-EVE (with Astronomer Visual pack interstellar V2 in highest possible quality, including all optional features, exluding city lights (just cause I don't like them))

-CollisionFX

-Cool Rockets

-Distant Object Enhancement

-FASA

-Kerbal Engineer Redux

-Universial Docking Ports

-Hot Rockets

-NovaPunch

-Outer Planets

-Planetshine

-PreciseNode

-Procedural Fairings

-Taurus HCV

-SpaceY

-Stock Bug fixes

-Take Command

-Texture Replacer

-Ven's Stock Revamp

-Wheel Sounds

I haven't tried whether everything works 100% like it should, but all of them show up and do what they're supposed to do so far.

[pditty8811]

Thank you. It seems many mods are not compatible with 1.0.2 yet. I'll wait it out until they are.

[Snarfster]

Cities Skylines is 64bit (doesn't have 32 bit version) game made in Unity.... idk if they used Unity 5 though.

So its possible, but laptop/mac/linux users are out of luck - its less stable on these platforms.

But on Windows 7 64bit, that I have it works perfectly.

How are linux users out of luck? Cities Skylines and KSP have native 64 bit clients that run fine on it.

It seems like you didn't take the files from "Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/windowsstandalonesupport/Variations/win64_nondevelopment"

Didn't you ?

Do you have any mods installed? Cause I had the game freeze on the loading screen when I tried using Kerbal Attachment System with this. Could also be some other mod conflicting. Does it always stop loading on the same file? Cause that file would be the cause of it then, I guess.

[RyanRising]

Man, I'm stuck to 32bit 'cause of FAR... and I'm crashing constantly. Is there no middle ground?

EDIT: No, there is a middle ground! Not opengL, but d3d11! This way I get TextureReplacer reflections, but no also anti-aliasing. And now I'm off topic.

Sorry.

hey there, im also running on ksp 64 Bit.

But i have to say that my game crashes, when i am switching between the LaunchPad and Building Center and sometimes when i am entering the space. Is there a way to fix it?

Is anyone having a problem with Modular fuel tanks not working? I'm not sure if it works with 64bit atm. That said, it's a bit more stable for me then 32bit, though I don't get to play with realchutes =(

[Jim Kernan]

Checked the tanks, yeah not working in 64 bit. I'm messing with 64 bit because the mods I'm playing with puts me just over the 32 bit limit. But I like tinkering under the hood a little bit. I'd be careful though playing a serious save with the 64 bit hack. Something could go wrong that would jack up your save and no mod maker will help you. That being said, 64 bit under 1.02 does seem a lot more stable. (the community hack, not the official 64 bit which does not exist currently)

[sciencestorm]

Anyone else getting a developer mode screen? Haven't been able to play because of it.

Ok, I wish it worked, but I can live with out it. I've already got 5 different modded games including a stock one for 1.0.2.

Double check the steps in the OP. It sounds like you may have used the wrong folder. A few posts back someone had the same problem.

I keep getting this error:

"Unable to load mono library from "D:/steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program/KSP_Data/Mono/mono.dll" (error = 193)".

Does anyone know how to fix this?

"I keep getting this error:

Double check the steps you took copying mono.dll over to your KSP folder. Delete or move mono.dll somewhere safe like your desktop. Recopy it following the steps outlined in the OP. The hack "should" work. Most instances of it failing to work seem to be incorrectly copying the required files. However, you should view this as experimental and if it doesn't work for you just go back to 32 bit KSP. Some time this year Squad will release the Unity 5.0 version of KSP and maybe, just maybe a 64-bit version of KSP.

If you run the 64bit exe file without the 64bit dll you'll get that error *Just did it to check*, same error if you try to run the 32bit exe with the 64bit dll.

Just a heads up, I've also got a thread running over in Suggestions and Development, if anyone wants to have a look. The consensus over there so far is that x64 is actually a lot better than any prior versions, with some minor issues (which look to also have been reported here). Looks like people in this thread are also finding the current x64 player to be vastly superior, which is good to know

It might be a good idea for folks to check on both threads to check for any further developments. I'll certainly keep an eye out over here from now on.

Somehow, I have all my parachutes with 0 diameter, at all times. Even with only stock. What can cause that?

Edit: it was TweakableEverything bugging the calculation. OK, you really need to check every single piece...

Just done a 3 hours play without crash, my KSP have 70-75 mods installed. After loading to menu it use around 5.5Gb of RAM, and before I stop playing I look again and it was using around 8.4Gb of RAM. Only "problems" I have it little lag some times, loading screen can look weird and the KSC after mission report (90% of the times it's why) look full upgraded *I get around it by loading up SPH or VAB and exit back to KSC*

[morph9833]

i Think Mechjeb is making some problems in the 64 Bit version. I tried it a few times, and every time it was mechjeb what was creating the crashes. It can not really handle with large rockets. Can anyone agree that?

I use Mechjeb on every flight and never crashed. But then I use the latest dev build from here http://jenkins.mumech.com/job/MechJeb2/

It would be really great if one of you could figure it out where exactly the problem is.

Thanks

Gonna be trying this out, but quick question. Can I uninstall Unity after I grab those 2 files that I need (according to directions OP)?
