Hello, bit of a noob as far as KSPIE goes. I'm going through my first career playthrough with the mod and had a question about the "rocinante" epstein drive. It says it produces UDD in the engine, but the rate at which its produced is seemingly very low. 0.92 UDD/hr at max load. Is there something I can do to speed this up, or is this just an inherent trait that cannot be helped. Seems to me like it would make the engine not super viable if you have to wait a very long time to "recharge" fuel before firing again for a short period of time. Thanks for the help!

I have possibly found a solution. I did a little reading and found that the game would run better in borderless windowed mode, but as I said, running at 1080p, the game screen only takes up a small area. I read that if you change an option related to scaling in the properties of the exe file, that it would allow the borderless window to scale its 1080p resolution to my entire monitor. After doing this change, it seems to have fixed the problem, but I am still on the lookout for other issues. Thanks for your help.

I just updated my graphics card driver yesterday, which didn't help anything. I always play with Vsync off, and I have the rest of the setting sliders in the middle. Having the settings like this didn't improve any performance, even when they were all set to low. I did turn the space center crew off, which improved performance in the VAB, but all other scenes were unimproved. My uninstallation process was to run the "unins0000" application to uninstall, and then manually delete any folders which were left over that the application didn't get. Is there another secret folder that KSP has that I don't know about, which is secretly mucking up this new install? Another piece of info that may be helpful is that I did a re installation twice, the first time with ckan, and upon launching ckan, it somehow magically knew where my previous folder was, and prompted me with a "could not find readme" error. I am pretty sure I deleted everything ckan, as i searched my computer for anything that had "ckan" in the name. This could possibly point to there being files left over, but I cannot for the life of me find them if there are.

I have had KSP for years and just recently got a laptop with a 4k screen that I installed the game on. Everything was working fine for weeks, even with ~30 mods installed through CKAN. A couple days ago, the game started to run very slow and so I uninstalled the game, deleted CKAN, and reinstalled the game again. After the install was complete I ran the game with no mods and no ckan installed and upon entering fullscreen at 1920x1080, the fps in the menu dropped to 50-60 (as opposed to 120), and I could notice a stutter. In game, the space center was running at ~50 fps and in the VAB it dropped to 20. upon launching a Kerbal X, the timer stays yellow and my fps remains at ~20. If I change the game to a windowed mode, on a resolution less than my laptops native resolution of 3840x2160 like 1920x1080, then the fps goes right back up to the normal 120fps that I had prior. As I increase the resolution, the average fps starts to drop. I normally play at 1920x1080 fullscreen all the time, because my computer cant handle 4k most of the time. Of course I can physically play the game at a lower windowed resolution, but it would be highly inconvenient as the game is a small window in the center of my screen at that resolution. Again, this has never happened to me in this way before, and I have always been able to solve the issue by doing a clean install, but this time it doesn't seem so. Thanks for any help that you all have, and Happy New Year as well!
