Game Stuttering / Freezing Constantly

[funkcanna]

Hi all,

Sick and tired of the RAM limit in Windows, I installed Ubuntu 14.04 and installed KSP via Steam Launcher and installed the same mods I had on my Windows Install. I had to patch the launcher etc to get it to Run but the game starts and it has all my mods. However when I play, the game suffers from Horrific stuttering which makes it unplayable. Every second it freezes up then moves a bit further, then freezes again. Constantly.

This is my first time using Ubuntu and I'm not very familiar with it. I think I'm running the Nvidia Proprietary Driver version 331.113 (this was the only option that said "Proprietary" next to it.

My specs are:

Core i7-4770K

GeForce GTX780TI

32GB RAM

Can anyone help? I was better off running the 32bit Windows version!

Go to the NVidia website and get the latest driver.

How do I do that? I downloaded a .run file? No idea how to use it

Ok I've managed to install the .run file. Same issue! Stuttering graphics!

If you haven't figured it out yet, here is a website from Ubuntu's help forum on how to install Nvidia drivers:

Ok I've improved it marginally by installing Active Texture Management - but isn't the point of 64bit that I won't need to compress the textures!?

Have you checked your ksp log file for errors ?

It should not be much more than 1meg in size once the game has loaded.
