Hi all, I'm just getting back to KSP after a long absence (since 1.5). I used to run a heavily modded game and I do understand that not all mods I have are technically updated to 1.10 compatibility but a fair number have been reported to be fine between V1.8 - 1.10. Crashes happen on scene changes always, whether it's from flight to VAB or other way around. It happens at random intervals too, sometimes I can play for a few hours without problem other times it will crash constantly. I've tried installing a few mods at a time to isolate the problem but I run too many and having no luck pinning it down so far. Hoping someone more familiar with reading logs could help.

Hello everyone, I've tried searching but haven't seen what I was looking for yet. Is there a mod that reduces explosions? For example on re-entry/exceeding heat tolerance have parts such as solar panels simply disintegrate rather than a violent explosion we have now? Having things go boom is fun for the first while but there's a certain beauty to have a large obsolete satellite re-enter and simply melt away.... Best, Daniel.

Confirming that chute deployment works as intended in ejection and bailing out, and works appropriately depending on conscious vs unconsciousness. I like how it ended up being more realistic to life in the end. Ejection module is almost a must on jets, on prop planes bailing is a fair option but definitely has its risks.

Thank you very much!

YES! This is exactly it! Just tested, the way I used to jump my kerbal often gets hit by a wing or an engine on his/her way out, chute does not work. If I take care to avoid being struck the chute works beautifully. I don't know if this can be done, but it might be interesting to prevent unconscious kerbals from deploying chutes with an on-screen warning message stating something to that effect.

Tested on fresh install with no other mods. Ejector seat works as intended. Space+F now opens the chute, however parachute does slow descent if sequence is initiated with a manual EVA. Testing done with stock aircraft. Log file attached here. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0AjZ7cEYuHTT3NkcTJwclh6UEE

Thanks! Space+F now deploys the chute but the kerbal still face plants. This was tested on a version of the game with only Asteroid Day installed. I'm going to do a fresh install of the game tonight, in case something was borked along the way.

Thank you for taking the time!

The three scenario I've tried: 1. Eject through ejection module - Kerbal automatically thrown free of aircraft, parachute automatically deploys and functions as intended, landing speed ~5m/s. Sequence happens quickly enough that I don't have time for testing manual inputs in between. 2. EVA -> jump with space -> deploy chute with context menu - parachute deploys visually but does not function, landing speed ~70m/s. 3. EVA -> jump and deploy with Space+F - Kerbal jumps off aircraft, however chute does not deploy visually no matter how many more times key combination is pressed. Landing speed ~70m/s

Can confirm. Parachute works perfectly through the ejection module but not manual deployment through EVA.

Thanks for checking it out. The way I did was (because I don't have ejection module reseached) to EVA then deploy the chute manually through context menu. The chute deploys but does not function. I will test the ejection module in sandbox later today.

Thank you so much for looking into it!

Yes, here is one https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0AjZ7cEYuHTakhoVGJWUVltd2M It doesn't seem to work with any of the planes/rockets I've built, this is the one I used most recently.

Sorry! Link to the file is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0AjZ7cEYuHTUVp6ZHNqNkdRYzQ

Hi everyone, Bit of a bug report, I'm using the 1.10.1 version in 1.2.2 and the chute deploys as intended without slowing anything down, my Kerbals faceplant at terminal velocity. Log file attached. Thanks!

Go into your steam library, right click on KSP, choose "properties". Under the "general" tab click "Launch Options" and type in either -force-d3d11 or -force-opengl d3d11 works well for me, but try both and see which one works for you with the least amount of glitching.

Hello everyone, Not really a legend in my own mind more like..... aimless wanderer. I have a B.Sc (Hon) from the University of Toronto in pathology (2013) and I'm currently working towards an M.D. at the University of Western Ontario (London, Ontario), class of 2017 if all goes well. Had no idea what I wanted to do coming out of high school and was scratching my head over engineering or comp sci. In the end I went with the study of all things squishy mainly because of the pathology program offered a chance to study not only how things work but how living systems fail. It's been a wild ride ever since.

Yeah KSP is currently 32 bit only and will crash at ~3.5-3.7 gb ram usage. Having said that I have never had a problem with memory leaks and if I launch with ~2.8gb I can usually play through without crashing at all. Try a stock install some time and then add the mods in one at a time? Good chance 1.1 will fix some issues (and very hopeful that it's x64 so no more RAM issues...)

Sorry I don't know about multiple sentinels, the impression I got is that it doesn't matter how many you have. The only time I got that close ot the sun is an insane contract requiring me to put a satellite in low and highly inclined orbit around the sun. I did it with ion engines, it's tricky but Eve aerobraking or sling shot might be another option if you can set it up.

Just to double check, is the satellite orbiting in the right direction? ^ Ninja'ed

Looks like my forced Dx11 is the culprit here. Unfortunately it's just about the only way I can play KSP without hitting the RAM cap. If anyone knows of a way to get around this please let me know!

Hi everyone, just a quick post to ask if anyone knows anything about Kerbal text being all misaligned and hard to read (Image attached here). I can't recall how it happened, but it is happening with every launch..... Thanks!

Until x64 comes out and removes the 3.7gb RAM limit I seem to have had a lot of luck running KSP under forced Dx11. I used to be at ~3.5gb on launch and crash constantly, under DX11 i'm at ~1.9 and have no issues with glitches/crashes that I've noticed *fingers crossed*

Glad it helped. Here's my file if anyone's interested. I do have some mods installed but basic premise is to use the same first tier categories as default, then sub categories are all my own (parts may not go into the same first tier as default though).

Have you tried the option of creating custom tabs? The system they have in game allows subcategories under each major category so you can group parts however you like (one part can go into multiple categories as well). It takes a while to set up because parts needed to be added one-by-one but once done it's amazing.
