Moved the KSP Steam Library, now KSP takes forever to load

[maddog59]

I have a 1TB drive (don't laugh, it's best I could afford) that's partitioned into C: (237GB) and D: (931GB). I moved the KSP Steam Library from C: to D: because C: had gotten filled up, and now KSP takes forever (3 - 4 minutes) before it gets to the Start screen. Before it seems like it took only about 2 minutes, on average. Any suggestions on how to make it load any faster?

Disable the frame rate cap and V-syncing- for some odd reason KSP loads stuff at a speed directly linked to the frame rates; I've seen frame rates in the hundreds or even over a thousand once during game loading, so limiting it to just 60FPS, or adding V-syncing which reduces the frame rates, would slow that down dramatically. It's possible that the drive partition just works slower so you might have to live with the difference. A SSD has a considerable speed advantage over a HDD, but if buying a new hard drive just for KSP seems a bit much then try this tiny mod which might help:

Ummmmm.... you have WAY over-estimated my technical knowledge and ability! LOL   

Turns out I was wrong ... I thought I had one drive that was partitioned, but according to defrag my C: drive is SSD and my D: drive is HDD.

Can you tell me how I'd go about disabling the frame rate cap and V-syncing? Or, is that what the mod you suggested would do for me?

Just go into the KSP settings, under the graphics tab there are settings for the frame rate limiter and V-syncing; turn them both off.

Both V-Sync and frame limiter are active in the Loading Screen. They fixed that a long time ago. Unless they unfixed it...
