I'm probably too optimistic to think Squad could do 'something' to help performance and since a Beta is for fixing these sort of issues then I guess we'll see.
I was actually thinking of downloading Karbonite but I'm worried it'll just be one of those mods that eats too much memory and crashes like B9 does for me.
Mine only crashes if I try to launch through Steam, if I open the .KSP64exe then it runs fine, there are a few bugs like having to go in and out of the R&D building when I research a part so that it shows it's actually researched but other than it looks good.
I did but I guess I'm a little too 'Roger Murtaugh' for this, people do this all the time on forums and I never understood why it's made into such a huge deal.
