Very low FPS

Thank You sir, just installed stock without mods and everything on low  and voila: http://prntscr.com/9a9xjo

In my case Chaka Monkey mod doesn't explode any vessel decoupling, that happened with FASA last time I tried in 1.0.5. 

 

Hey hey! There ya go! Lots of frames! Now, the goal is to see if you can smooth out the framerate, and make it less jumpy. Try limiting your framerate to 60fps, or use V Sync. The easiest way to test this, is in the Main Menu. Adjust your frame limit, and V Sync, and try switch from the Main Menu, to the Save Menu, and see if it transitions smoothly, and doesn't stutter or jitter. You want the camera movement to be smooth like butter, and your FPS graph to be relatively smooth. 

Remember that:

1. If you set V Sync to Every Second V-Blank, then your game will effectively be capped at 30fps. 

2. Your monitor can only display 60fps, so more frames than 60fps doesn't really help you. Your graphics card will be processing frames your monitor can't even use, which can cause tearing/skipping, and will make your GPU work harder than it has to. You can use the limiter, or you can use V Sync. Experiment with it.

 

If you want to spice up stock without taking a bad frame hit, my top picks are:

• PlanetShine
• TextureReplace (for better skyboxes, visor reflections, and WindowShine, skyboxes downloadable separately)
• DistantObject Enhancement (just for dimming the skybox when you're looking at something bright. Very cool effect)
• EngineLight
• SmokeScreen. (Use the config tool to limit the amount of particles produced by engines. Especially helps with large rockets with SRBs)
• KerboKatz FPSLimiter. (If you don't want your fan running hard in the background while you've got KSP hidden or minimized, this tool drops the FPS of the game to something low, like 2-5 FPS, and as a result, you can run the game in the background without a loud fan, a hot computer, and excessive power usage.) 
• QuickGoTo: (Allows you to go right to a specific scene while the game is loading, or go to any scene in the game from the toolbar. Incredibly helpful when tuning KSP. Saves a lot of time.)

I've managed to get some better frames with all these mods thanks to you  thank you very much

I got now around 40 fps launching vessels http://prntscr.com/9aaf70

And got all these mods: http://prntscr.com/9aag94

Thank you again <3

You can probably turn the graphics up to max again as well now that it runs fine again. Your GPU should really not be a bottleneck at all when it comes to getting good frame rates.

Yep, Unity logging is *exceptionally* slow, so if something is spamming log, FPS will slow to a crawl. It's not a performance issue, it's a bug issue.

Chaka Monkey is not updated to 1.0.5, that's the problem. Remove that mod and you'll be okay.
