Hey, any place at all works for me... Thanks for setting me straight!

Thanks, Dman! I am eagerly awaiting the 1.1 update. I've been watching that forever thinking it might be my only hope. Recently, though, I decided to go with one more clean install, and pushing things *only* through CKAN unless there was just no other way to get them into the game... also had to do some shortcut configuration and a few other things to my graphics card, now the thing game incredibly smooth. The first few launches I actually thought that it was somehow stuck in warp, somehow, because -since day one- ...we're talking .25 beta here... I have suffered terrible frame rates. The game played much slower as a result. Now... everything operates as it is supposed to be. It took me a few launches to adjust to how quick everything actually is now. Thanks for the advice on the post placement as well. I had considered creating this post there. After all, it is my first post to the forums etc... however, it is not intended exactly as an introductory post, but as a thank you to those people who take the time to help the neophytes to KSP. I thought it the primary intention of the topic might get lost in the Welcome Aboard section. Since this was my first post, a moderator had to approve this being posted here as well... so they seem to be good to go. Not saying I mind if they move it, at all. Just hope that wherever it ends up living, the primary message goes through. I was seriously about to give up until 1.1 at the very least. I can't understate how frustrated I was... I truly wish I had taken the time to read through the technical side of the forums, especially to topics as they pertained to my set-up, much more thoroughly. It would have saved me so much grief because, really, all the information is right here already. Good stuff, this place! Nice to meet you, Dman!

I've lurked around here for awhile, back and forth with the demo, but recently purchased the game. I have an AMD cpu. Went through all the troubles associated with that, and a few others to boot... most of those other problems aligned with being too new and trying to do too much with mods etc before understanding the limitations. I would have been stopped dead in my tracks, frustrated with the game... myself... Squad... the universe probably... because I really like this game, but was definitely having issues. All these things would have been like that ...Except... All the information I needed existed somewhere on these forums. Various places, from many sources and too many people to list/credit. It took me two weeks to square my game away to where it is *incredibly playable* and very enjoyable now with nearly every mod I desire included on this AMD cpu endowed computer. Most of that time was blown because I'm the guy that dumps the contents out of the box onto the floor, rummages through the pile, and see what jams together... later to go with the instructions. Point being: after the frustration owing to my lack of own understanding kicked in, and the realization that I needed the knowledge, it was all already right here. That was gold. All of you people that put in that little extra time to explain these things, especially to the ones that put in the time to explain them in detail: ~Thank you~ You saved this game for me. It's most appreciated. ~sKotty, out.
